Re: NHL 11 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (360, PS3)
Geno is a beast, indeed! If you get him in any prime scoring zones, it's almost automatic. I played a game of NHL '10 online today and felt totally stifled, control wise. It feels so unnatural after so much time with the demo.
They really did change the feel of the game. I'm so pumped for the retail.Comment

You can't unfortunately.
That and not being able to really skip the Stanley Cup celebration unless you lose are my only 2 issues with the demo to be honest.Originally posted by bradtxmaleI like 6 inches. Its not too thin and not too thick. You get the support your body needs.

If you haven't done this already, just quit 2 seconds before the game ends. I've been doing this the whole time to skip the celebration stuff.Xbox LIVE GT: oALEXtheGREATo

My biggest concern right now is which system to get it on.
If BaGM is online I might have to get the PS3 version. I have a lot more friends who'll buy this game for the PS3 (Realm being one of them) so the chances of getting into an online league with people I know and trust is greater.
However, the two biggest concerns I have for the PS3 version are this:
1. Framerate.
2. We use the PS3 primarily as a Bluray player. What if my wife wants to watch a movie in the bedroom and I want to play NHL11? That scenario doesn't present itself very often, but it would be nice to have the option of having both systems available for separate reasons.
Realm, you said that the PS3 demo had a noticeable difference in framerate to the 360?
Also, I'm so behind on the times. Do we now need to pay for online service with PSN?Comment

PSN is totally free. As for the framerate most of the time its smooth. Though at times when both teams are changing it does dip a little bit, its definitely plenty playable, just a tad annoying is all.My biggest concern right now is which system to get it on.

I'm not sure that BAGM is online, I thought I had read that in the splash screen when you finish a game but I was way over tired that first night and may have mistaken the mention of EASHL Dynasties for BAGM, so who knows. Hoping its that "big announcement" for GM mode that we've still yet to hear about though.Comment

I've still experienced the best videogame hockey moments ever. I've gotten deked out of my skates on several occasions, seen the goalies absolutely humiliated with beautiful dekes by the AI, and even drew a delay of game by pressuring Niemi on a dump in when he tossed it over the glass. The penalties are believable, the movements of everyone are smooth and glorious.
The animations have been tightened up. For example, there's a goalie animation when he's trapped a puck in his pads and he looks left and right then stands up and tosses the puck down. Previously the transition between the looking and popping up was jarring. Now some transitions have been added that makes it just right.
They've even decreased the loading times to about 7 seconds from the time you get the game configured to the time you can hit the ice. That's a nice touch. Makes up somewhat for the unskippable Cup celebration. I, too, do the quit early thing which doesn't help when it goes to OT
. Thankfully it does let you skip part of it once you've seen the whole thing once in a play session. Still, would be nice to skip the whole thing. I know it's special but after the 5th time it wears.
