      AI does look a bit more aggressive at the least.

          Wow i love that action tracker thing, its great! So now replays dont have to be uploaded during the game, you can wait until afterwards to watch and upload the ones you want! cool! also, i really like the way the puck bounces off goalies.. much more bounce to the puck compared to 11 imo

              In the Be a Pro video I really love the suttle animations while skating, like cross overs, speed changes, and just little movements make the skating look more fluid and not as static. Granted you still do un realistic things while skating, but skating in general looks A LOT better.

              Watching this has me really excited for the demo tomorrow!

                Yes I just want that puck to have a life of its own if you know what I mean.

                  It was nice to hear the guy talking about the BAP goalie experince has improved. I liked doing it, but sometimes you had to wait like 10 minutes for a shot to come at you, players would sit there with the puck for seconds at a time not doing anything. Then it would suck hardcore when you let a goal in because you'd get maybe 6 or 7 shots on you a game. Terrible save percentages.

                  Really glad they improved the shooting AI, hopefully it comes through in the game!

                    The action tracker looks a great and much needed addition. The net graphic showing where shots have hit is a nice touch and will help when adjusting those accuracy sliders for human or AI.

                    My anticipation for 12 has now doubled after seeing this video. I usually spend quite a bit of time looking at replays and having to interrupt the flow of the game to do this previously was annoying.

                      Maybe it's going to exactly like last year for me since I was pretty pumped up for NHL 11 with the summer footage and demo, while beeing completely discouraged early december, but I really like what I saw in the BaP video.

                      Action Tracker is pretty nice and reminds me of the GameCast from ESPN. To me, that's a superb idea to have put it in, and if it works like it's suppose to, it's even going to be fun watching in while waiting for next shift (which I won't always do).

                      Also, the AI seems to be less idiot and dumb than in NHL 11. D reacts more like I want them to react. Not perfect, but at least, nothing odd like in NHL 11 with pinning, backing and stupid wingers going to corners on a 2 on 1. There's seem to be something in the AI we're they are no more hesitating and skating in circle before entering the zone.

                      Hope the retail version will not provide bugs and lapses that makes NHL 11 less than what it could have been (at least for me).

                        there was absolutely nothing about online leagues in that video.

                        EAUHL is not an online league.
