    Re: NHL 11 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (360, PS3)

    By the way, I honestly don't mean to sound like I'm "arguing" or insulting anyone. So if I came across like that, sorry. What I was getting at was that the ratings being off (in my opinion) result in unrealistic simmed standings. Like the Sharks being last place, or the Flyers being last in the East. That kind of thing.

      Skating agility and puckhandling is still straight videogame. That became my biggest gripe with this series last year after loving 07-09.

          This demo is great... is it me or do wrist shots really get to the goalie in a hurry now? That was one of the biggest things I noticed off the bat. Checking is great... and did I see the AI dump the puck 3 times in A ROW. OMG! I've even seen a little bit of cycling by the computer as well.

          My only gripe was the Hawks goal horn... it sounds a lot different than last year and I thought they had it right last year. Am I hearing things?
          I'll let you know when I hear the horn.

            We aren't here to argue ratings or who is better than whom. Thank you.

              I watched every game of the playoffs, only missed about 10 regular season games over the last 2 seasons (NHL Center Ice) and watch NHL Network religiously. I've never heard of this guy. I'll look him up. I don't see how I could have overlooked him in the Final.

                I mean really, any defensive core that starts with the name 'Pronger' is gonna be tough, as long as its not Pronger and a bunch of AHLers.

                  Being a Blues fan, I know its wrong. Damn Hawks.

                  Sucks too...I really like Chicago's goal horn. Its one of my favs.

                    He didn't play in the Final, he signed as a FA. It doesn't matter anyways, he's on the third pair. Coburn plays with Timonen (My mistake)

                      Alright, I didn't mean to get this off topic, just saying its an issue to me when the Sharks finish 14th in the Western Conference because every team is within 5 point of one another in every category. Teams like the Pens, Caps, Sharks and Hawks should be ranked in the 90's in offense, teams that suck should be in the 70's. There should be a large discrepency. Instead the worst team is about an 83 while the best is maybe an 89. Not enough. That's why we had crazy standings last year.

                      Anyway, back on topic. Are any of you guys having success on the superstar level? I'm finding it way more difficult than NHL 10.

                        So back to demo impressions.

                        I'm loving the fact that we'll be able to trade up to 6 years worth of draft picks in Be A GM. I'm hoping this means player rights will be included as well and that they'll be tradeable.

                          Definitely a nice addition. I'm wondering how the CHL will factor in. Will we be able to see what players did in the CHL (stats). That would be especially cool when going into the draft.

                            We have the best defensive pair in the NHL, not even close. Our 2nd defensive line (Hjalmarsson and Campbell) are great offensively. Our 3rd line (which will be Boynton and Hendry) is average, I'll give you that. But I doubt Philly is better than that. Campbell is arguably the best offensive defenseman in the NHL. Hjalmarsson, last year's best-kept secret was one of the most under-rated players in the league. Now the cat's out. He's good.

                            The ratings are just way off.
                            No he's not. Dude, Mike Green, despite his issues, is the most dangerous offensive defenseman in the NHL. Period.

                            Mike Green almost had 3x as many goals as Campbell and had 20+ more assists.
