NHL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (360 & PS3)

I think a huge difference is the NHL team was afforded the luxury of taking a year off from having to ship a product while building from the ground up, while the Madden team was not. I would account thats the major reason the NHL sku is so much further along then the rest of the EA sports lineup when it comes to the current gen systems.

Errr, I must have missed that year off to rewrite everything. Nope, we rebuild this ship while it is sailing. Even in the lockout year (before my time on NHL) it shipped a game.

I've played the demo on both consoles and see no differences. I can't stand using the PS3 controller for NHL10 though, it just doesn't feel right.

I also noticed that the problem where you simply can't pass for a second or two when the computer is forechecking you persists on the PS3 as well. Redshirt, is this a glitch or was this intended? It doesn't make any sense.

I guess he would be talking about 2005. Though I wouldn't have considered it a year off for you guys. The 360 came out late november of 05, which would have been 2 months after after NHL 06 came out for pc and all of the other last gen systems. You guys just didn't release a half assed port like all of the other yearly sports games did once the 360 dropped.

In BAP mode I've noticed that those little defensive pokes your player automatically did last year aren't there anymore. Is this correct? The CPU is passing the puck inches alongside me with me facing the passer and nothing happens. Last year the BAP would automatically use his stick to intercept the pass.

Also when multiple penalties are called it would be nice to see them all mentioned in a cut-scene. Most of the time you only see your own player get the call too find out after the cut-scene you're in a powerplay situation because someone got a instigator penalty on the opposing theme.

Overall I hope standard slidersettings have been tweaked a bit.

i know this was probably mentioned already- but i just played the demo yesterday.
The board play is going to add so much to this game.
That, and the fact the CPU doesnt skate around your players on superstar makes this game 100x better than last year.

After playing the NHL 10 demo, it looks and feels the same as 09. I have noticed some advancement in gameplay and goalie animations, but this game needs a presentation overhaul.

Agreed. I like the demo, but they definitely need to add some new camera angles or something. The broadcast cam is pretty weak, and that's the angle I use the most. If 2k's broadcast cam is as good as it looks in the gamespot video, I think I'm going to go with that title this year.

There wasn't an 06 version on the 360/PS3 is what I was getting at.
Edit: or should I say the 360. Basically EA didn't do a half *** port job like 2k did with 2k6.

Re: NHL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (360 & PS3)

Just been playing BAP for 3 hrs and i have to say the more i play the more i notice that the teammate AI is still pretty poor especially in the defensive zone. They just seem to have no clue what to do with the puck when under pressure from the cpu AI.

Is anybody else noticing this?

I'm stuck at work for the weekend and haven't had much time with my ps3 demo yet, so a question for those of you deep into BAP:

In 09 your BAP would always start the period, even if he was a 4th line scrub, and no matter what line you were on you'd get 1st PP time and finish the game with 30+ minutes even as a forward, while your team mates (even Ovechkin, Crosby or Iginla) would play far less than you and their production would be screwed up as a result. Have they fixed this, does your ice time reflect your player?

Can you still call for a line change as a player, which is kind of ridiculous, or does the coach make those decisions?

Hows the mode overall, improvements in coach feedback? Do you always start on the NHL club or spend time in the minors? How much time in the minors?

Anyone drafted in the 2nd round or worse?

Whats your overall when you start the game?
