Re: NHL 11 First Hands-On Impressions (Gamespot)

I know I'm in the minority, but the "huge hits" line was music to my ears. I'm an NHL Hitz Pro veteran, so obviously I like a little arcade flair to my hockey. I hope (for the masses) that it will be realistically implemented, but freaks like me can go into the settings/sliders and jack it up a few notches to fit our tastes. Hit Stick FTW!

I'm not so worried about "BIG HITS" so much as hits being ridiculously easy to dish out.

In 2010, the hitting is simply outrageous. It just isn't that easy to line up a hit and execute a complete demolishing hit.

It certainly looks like the days of being able to simply carry the puck into the zone along the boards every damn time may be over.

Now this is music to my ears.

One of my biggest hopes for '11' is that the AI controlled players, User and Cpu, are far more aggressive towards the puck carrier headed up ice.

If not by default...I'm hoping the sliders will achieve it.

Agreed... carrying into the zone was far too easy in NHL10.

^^

Have seen Vikes point that out couple of times.

It's a problem againts cpu but since I've been playing EASHL for the last months I totally had forgot this problem. Even somewhat "mid-level"-teams are able to play some trap (or how you call it?) so it is sometimes more beneficial to dump the puck. I also wish this would be a reality againts cpu.
