Thankfully no. Players actually have weight to them. They don't go fly across the ice if someone just happens to brush up against them.

That part is great yes, but they still honestly feel like animations when they do get hit a lot of the time. Is it just me, or do players still always land on their backs? They're like reverse cats.

Stick lift no longer leaves your player useless and standing there for 5 seconds with his stick in the air

can you reverse skate (exploit) the AI D to get around them? hope this was fixed.

and can you still bring the puck back behind your body before firing a wrister (this move held the goalie on the side of the net in NHL10 for an easy glitch goal). just wondering if these massive glitches were addressed...

I just knocked a stick right out of a guys hands attempting a stick lift.

How many games (or periods, as we just play 3rd periods) in the HUT tournament?

I hope the 3rd period always begin at an even score?

Thanks, 5 more hours before I get home and download+play!

I've yet to see the ridiculous stumble/barrel roll animation when a player gets tripped up - I've seen 2 variations on dropping to their knees instead, sweet!

There are 4 rounds, so 4 periods total. All games in HUT start at 0-0 with no stats being recorded until you start playing I believe.

I think my favorite addition(next to the new physics) is the protect puck function now having skating with it. It just looks awesome and feels authentic, especially in tight areas or around the net. And, it's not a given that you'll exploit a guy using it.

So do I get to keep this Ultimate Team? Because I'm loving mine! Taylor Hall, Luongo, Fippula, Rask, Enstrom, Keith.

Attribute effect is still there. And I never understood the hate of forehand/backhand dekes. It's the most common move on a breakaway IRL. Maybe I'm not slick enough to pull it off with regularity, but when I do it correctly I have a good chance to score (but not automatic) and when I don't it doesn't work. Am I missing something?

i must have missed the attribute effect slider. bc i looked through them for 10 mins. ill look again.

the hate is not from the move forehand to backhand etc. the hate comes from i can score on the same backhand to forehand move 99.9% of the time. i have to make myself mix it up. the goalie ai should not allow that same goal to go in over and over and over.

i come in on breakaway. i deke out with the r-stick to my backhand, hold for a sec, then release (on the release, i dont even push the stick to the forehand it just goes back to forehand position), goes back to forehand, i flick up on r-stick and boom back of the net. 99.9% of the time.

i honestly laugh at all these guys online in nhl 10, do all this fancy pants stuff to score, when all i do is a basic move and score just as much if not more lol.

Ah, I gotcha Fiddy... misunderstood your comments. I'm 99.9% sure attribute effect is still there, along with some new ones.

You're just lucky I hate the Sens more than Les Habitants .

Damn, that is a shame. I'm glad that it's at the very least not so frequent since I haven't seen it yet. Was it the stumble or the random leaping barrel roll that you saw? Man I hate the roll.
