    C'mon Scott.. 2k9's celebrations were non-existent.. sometimes players even celebrating by themselves.

      You are the Eddie of EA. Any way I love playing as be a pro. I love the blue arrows telling my dumb *** where to go. I just want to score goals. That is fun! But the Kings. I am not happy about that.

        I disagree, but let just not go there.

          Another thing that could use some improvement are the checking animations. I figured out how to do that pretty quickly but I have yet to see someone get laid out when it was appropriate. They collide but there is very little affect to the way the body reacts it seems.

            LOL, so true. We really have a lot in common.

            One thing I will say for sure is that this game is definitely challenging for me. I'm going on a few hours and the only goal I scored was an empty netter. I'm still playing though so there must be something I like.

              Even on pro default the game has grown leaps and bounds imho.. I loved 2k's board play, but EA nailed it and it flows so nicely. Game is definitely "organic" and the atmosphere is really intense. Camera seems a bit closer to the ice and I love that.

              Goalies have a bunch of new animations and I actually like the fighting.

              This game can't come soon enough!!!
              True. This is a going to be a beast of a game. Can't wait. But I hope I get drafted by the Sharks. Board play is sweet in this game. I love that.

                Not really, I buy games based on if I like them, not based on which publisher's name is on the front of the box. Big difference imo.

                  Ok, I understand Littman wants more play from the points, but why is there no pressure at all put on the points from cpu or cpu teammates? I'm playing on superstar too. And the cpu passing on superstar hardcore is not sim at all. And allstar is to easy.

                    so i'm getting the impression that, in spite of all the hype, this game has a number of holes in it and may have taken a few steps backwards in some areas (all the while understanding that this is a demo version). hope the developers are taking notice of the thoughts here...

                      One thing that is good about EA they have always been good with patches, so if it is a real big problem they will fix it.

                        The on ice graphics seem to have taken quite a hit. Maybe next year they can bump those up a lot.

                          lots of good things from the demo....

                          1) player differntiation is more pronounced. Speed of course, but turning, puckhandling, agility, etc.

                          2) goalie animations look great

                          3) more neutral zone play

                          4) great crowd ambiance

                          5) goal variety is even better

                          But these great things will be moot if the hardcore passing on SUPERSTAR for the CPU isnt fixable via sliders.

                          Some say on default, it's better than last year's ....no way, it's the exact same, they don't miss ANY passes unless it's intercepted.

                          The demo is incomplete to judge for me just on this aspect alone. Imagine struggling completing passes as the flyers, while watching the lightning complete tic tac toes like there's no tomorrow...

                          Hopefully the cpu pass accuracy is extremely sensitive so that this problem can be dealt with.

                          The game has a slew of new sliders that can really fine tune this game to a simmer's dream.....but it ALL depends on the cpu pass acc slider. If that works well, this game has got the goods.....if not ? bad bad news for ofline gamers

                            Yeah I am sure the sliders guru will be able to get this game to play smooth. I love Be a pro mode. But I have a feeling I will be benched. I am all about me, me and me. If I get the puck I am going to shot it.

                              I cant complete a cross ice pass on hardcore. I love it!

                              I've played about 5 games and I have scored one goal on a rebound. Has anyone beaten the goalie clean?

                                I really don't like the fact that classic controls still have no way to dump the puck. That's why I wish custom controls would actually let you map buttons.
