I'll play the first few minutes with the large puck (set by default) and then switch it to authentic. When I switch to authentic I definitely notice the puck bouncing around more, players have a harder time holding on to it, goalies have a harder time dealing with rebounds, especially off the pads. Like I said, it could all be in my head, but I'm pretty sure the smaller puck does change the game a little. I hope I'm not just imagining it because I've been hoping for an authentic sized puck (works well with small shadow) since they came to 360.

That was kind of my thinking. But in reality, I doubt it actually makes a difference. I think I'll be playing with it on default with the shadow off. I'm a huge hockey fan, I play hockey, and I've played hockey games all my life. But sometimes I even lose the puck when it is set to authentic.
