I'm having the same problem in 10 that I'm having with 09, I can't shoot a one timer with my BAP. I played with the custom controller setting in both 09 and the 10 demo and couldn't do it either, my BAP just poke checks. I've tried playing with the default setting and I can't pull it off either. Any help?

Right before the puck gets to you, tap UP on the right stick. I made sure I held L trigger down though.I'm having the same problem in 10 that I'm having with 09, I can't shoot a one timer with my BAP.

Re: NHL 10 Demo Impressions
So nobody has noticed the omission of the useless Juicy one-handed deke? I think it's awesome that it's gone. A bit surprising, since it was the main picture on the back of the box last year, but happy nonetheless.Comment

Re: NHL 10 Demo Impressions
Ah, apparently the one-handed deke requires pressing Vision Control first. I like that. I won't use it, but I like that they made it require a modifier button press first.Comment

It isn't gone. You have to hold LT and then you can do it.EA SPORTS Game Changer

Re: NHL 10 Demo Impressions
One-timer passing...
With the Hardcore Game Style is it possible to do tic-tac-toe plays???
Seems like it would be rather difficult for the 2nd or 3rd passes to have any 'mustard' on em if they need to be loaded up.Comment

Re: NHL 10 Demo Impressions
Wow.. this demo is awesome.
I like how first they introduce to you the basics as I didn't play NHL 09. Good stuff.
I then chose Pitt and immediately they brought up the Crosby injury and asked if I wanted to play him or not. Niiiiice.Comment

Re: NHL 10 Demo Impressions
So far my experience with the NHL 10 demo has been great. Lots of "little things" I've noticed that really make this game feel like a true hockey sim.
I'll give a quick rundown of my positives.
+ Positives
You can tell the difference between a good shot blocker, an okay shot blocker and a bad shot blocker. The bad ones obviously don't lay down on the ice all the time. Okay ones will, but they get up slower. And wow, Lidstrom can get down on the ice and recover very quickly.
Defensive AI is a bit better, they take away the cross crease cheese most of the time to the point where if one of them does manage to squirt through I probably wouldn't call it cheese.
I've had defenders in front of my net bat the puck out of the air away from the net and out of the zone.
People grab pucks and when you try to clear the zone the puck isn't lobbed into outer space every single time so sometimes defenders grab it and keep it in the zone.
Board play is perfectly implemented.
The bottom six can't deke like Bobby freaking Orr.
This game punishes you for doing brainless things like passing the puck out in front of the net with 2 opponents there. They WILL score if you pass out recklessly and will do it consistently. Very good to see.
- Negatives
Some of the negatives I'm not so sure are actually negatives, just giving me a hard time.
Most of the goals I have seen so far have been pretty weak goals. I had one game where Osgood let in I think 3 goals in 4 shots and he got a piece of all of them. I've always played NHL 09 and now this demo defensive minded too. My strategy is mostly trapping and counter attacking so it's not like I don't know how to play defense. I think I've had one really nice goal so far with a Crosby wrist shot from the slot whipping it around their defender.
I've had a hard type setting up a good cycle play with hardcore passing. This I feel may be just because I'm not used to it. Tic Tac Toe seems like it'll be very difficult for a user to pull off. It's tough to get a strong pass after the first + aiming it precisely.
Computer too tape to tape without any sliders to adjust.
I'm going to go play some more I'll come back in a bit if I find more.Last edited by Ovie; 08-20-2009, 04:04 PM.

Loving the puck physics.
The one thing that the game could really use is a modifier for hardcore passing that enables you to fire a quick pass (unless there is one). The pass would be less accurate (especially for non-gifted playmakers), and more prone to jumping over the receiver's stick, especially if the players are too close to each other.
Left bumper would probably work best. If I hold that down while passing, my guy will fire the puck off his stick quickly. It would be great for tick-tack-toe plays, or trying to fire a long pass up ice to try and create a breakaway on a bad line change or pinch and would only be useful when used by the best playmakers and puck moving d-men.
I know that Litty and the gang were able to change the controls up a bit last year to help with checking guys in the crease when going for the puck, hopefully they can add this.Last edited by bad_philanthropy; 08-20-2009, 04:34 PM.Comment

Re: NHL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (360)
Based on the demo, is it looking like NHL 10 could be the MLB Show of hockey games?It's on me. I shook his hand too hard. It was a hard ... kind of a slap-shake.
