    Re: NHL 11 Demo Available Now (360)

    Really liking the hustle button. Had the puck way out in from of Tavares. Tapped it a few times and beat everyone to it.

    In my second play, the puck had gotten by the defenseman and was on its way to the goalie. I used the hustle button to just out skate the defender, make a quick move on the goalie and put it home. It was a thing of beauty, and something I have never really seen in 10.
    I don't like the Yankees, I like the Red Sox, I don't like the Lakers, I like the Celtics, I hate the Canadiens and I love the Bruins. Soccer is the best sport on Earth, but most Americans are too ignorant to realize it. I am American.

          Everything just seems more realistic! The ice has a better feel and the sounds are great. The goalies are kinda cluless but maybe thats minor?and i like the puck handling a lot more than 10.

            Seriously man, this is gonna be torture to wait for. The retail usually plays a little better than the demo too. Haven't really seen any weird goalie stuff... I did see a goal off of two different poke checks, that the goalie couldn't get to. Other than that I am loving mostly everything, need to figure out the faceoff stuff some more though.

              Hustle button is the left analog? never mind should have read two post above me. At any rate, I really like the game this year, minor demo gripe can't change difficulty beyond pro in the pokemon card thingy but thats about it.

              For people's comments on the goalies, I think its the physics being looser, the puck no longer suctions to the glove and it feels alot more live in just about all situations imo at least, it might be something they further tuned for retail as I'm not entirely sure how old this build is.

                Yea the pro difficulty is getting bored, but it makes it easier to learn the gameplay, and the goalie stuff was just wierd.the goalie caught the puck and his glove was in the net and they called it a goal?idk and he like shuffled one inbetween his pads.

                    Anyone know how to do the new quick dekes? The CPU keeps using them on me.

                        Well the team you need to beat to win the tourney is Canada, so it is still kinda tough, even on Pro.

                            Wow... On Battle for the cup I bumped up the difficulty.. What a amazing thing it was... The puck play everywhere is great.. Right now I am really looking forward to the release.. Everything just feels right.. Are there any issues, Of course but darn man... I am pumped.. I played into w OT's where the Hawks scored a goal of a delfection of me trying to block a shot... They of course won the CUP... Well I have to get ready for work... I will play later tonight and give more detailed impressions

                              Just finished DL'ing and am not even 2 and half minutes into playing my first 3rd period and I have to say that this really feels good. The new physics make a noticeable difference to how the game feels and the hitting is way better.

                              I have the puck at authentic size with no shadow and it looks great. Also, dumping the puck looks and feels better. Personally, I think the speed is too slow but that is easily adjusted with sliders upon retail purchase.

                              Skating does feel smoother. Gameplay videos on youtube will not readily convey the changes found in this demo. On the screen, the game probably looks pretty similar to 10, but it feels quite different through the controller.

                              Having played every NHL this gen, this one feels like something fresh.

                              Really good stuff so far and this off the opening 2 minutes of play. Am going to pay closer attention to see if it feels like the ai suction to your man or not.

                                Oh my goodness! The cpu just carried it into my end and dumped it in for a line change! This I have not seen before on past NHL's.
