    One other thing I loved, was the subtle reactions to penalties. I got called for a slash that barely impeded Sharp at all. Also had a trip where Chara fell and slid but recovered while still sliding. Looked awesome.

          Are there any contract cards the Ultimate Team demo? I had three guys who finished their contracts. I replaced two of them with scratched players, but I'm out of scratched players and I have no one to replace my second line d-man with. I can't find contract cards anywhere... all I can find are Training Cards.

              Don't think so. Only training cards.

              Speaking of UT, do we all get random cards or the same ones in the demo? Curious because I had a pretty beastly team with Tavares, Hall, Eberle, Myers, Subban, Hodgson, Braydon Schenn, Nik Lidstrom and Cory Schneider.

                For those who are playing on Superstar...

                I've watched some gameplay vids on the Youtubez and the CPU looks weak on Offense...now I'm assuming they are playing on lower difficulties.

                How is the CPU attack on Superstar???

                    CPU scored 3 goals in 2 periods against me. Put up a lot of chances, too.

                    My first thoughts on the game:

                    -I can see why videos don't do the game justice, most of the changes are subtle.
                    -AI is definitely better, on both sides
                    -Faceoffs are AWESOME!
                    -Authentic puck/no shadow = freakin sweet
                    -Didn't see playoff beards. Didn't someone say this was in? I was kinda hoping it would be but not a big deal and maybe it was a demo.
                    -Thorne and Clement need to either be replaced or record a lot of new lines
                    -Goalies are better! Saw a lot of small new animations

                      So having not played NHL 10, coming straight from NHL 09 this game feels completely different and I love it.

                      The way the players move and the fluidity of the on the ice action is flat out awesome...I might be in the minority but I like the weighed down slow feeling of the game.

                      Goalies seem much improved too...they'll make saves but I never once got the "robo goalie" feeling or that I couldn't score, hard to explain but it felt right.

                      Broken and dropped sticks really add a new element to the game and not in a cheesy way IMO...again another very well implemented feature.

                      All in all, I'm super impressed and cannot wait for the game now...it's a must buy IMO.

                          I didn't see one broken stick in 2 periods + 2 OTs. Forgot they were even in there. Glad to see it! Didn't want it to be too frequent.

                            Also, has anyone noticed how small the Stanley Cup is? What the crap? Not that big of deal because you'll hardly ever see it. But still. And while I'm at it... the Flyers have an 86 on their defensive rating the the Hawks have a 85!? Really!? WTF? Sorry, Philly, no way in hell. We lost one defenseman who played a limited role. Ridiculous.

                              OH EM GEE that's all i can say lol. The new face-off engine is amazing, body checking has never felt been so gratifying i mean you hit a guy who doesn't see it coming into the boards and he is just plain old done for. The celebration (even though that completely ruined the surprise of winning the cup) is solid and the announcers don't seem to get in the way as much as last year. My only real complaint is like most seasons and that's the fan animations in the stands, they seem to robotic in the fact that they all swing their towels in the exact same fashion but thats just a petty thing. The overall game absolutely destroys 2k's game this year once again.

                                Another nice small thing I noticed, face off formations are not a hidden option anymore.
