The goal variety is the main thing that has sold the game for me. That drove me crazy last year.Comment

I can see some variations of the skating it seems to be better. As for the game play it is somewhat IMO clunky and choppy but I think this stems from not being able to adjust any sliders. Two things I noticed is that when you are winding up to take a slap-shot from the point after carrying the puck the defense challenges you and some times strip the puck AI I suppose don't remember the defense being that aggressive in NHL 12. The other is that in the neutral zone the defensive players are working hard to get the puck away from you so you'll need some nifty passing. Left wing lock still appears to be absent as a defensive option. All in all I think they are moving in the right direction will have to wait for the real game for a verdict?Comment

I would say that it will be worth no matter what the demo look like.
I say that simply because more often then not, people who aren't addict to the game won't be as picky and scrutinize the game as much people who are fan of the game will do.
I'm not a basketball fan, and NBA 2K11 while beeing a really strong game, received hard words and reviews from people who are following the game a lot. Same thing with Madden 11 who was pretty fun until I had NHL 11! :-)
NHL 11 as issues here and there, but I guess for the casual hockey gamers, it would be a great game to play.
I guess the problems start on the forums, we're over analysing everything!

I started out as a minimal hockey fan. I could name the top 5-10 players in the league. Always had fun watching the sport, but not near as much as with footbal. Don't necessarily live in a hockey "hotbed," but pulled for the Avs and the Stars.
Then I played NHL 09. Everything changed. This series blows all other sports games out of the water. Because of this game, I'm hooked on the NHL. I order NHL CenterIce and watch hockey non-stop now.
Reason being? The Be A Pro and Online Team Play mode is sooooo addictive. Makes RTG and Superstar modes in EA's football games look like childs play.
I recommend this game to anyone who is a mild hockey fan, but has had a lot of fun playing hockey games on Genesis and N64 in the past. It's to the point now, where I buy it every year on release day, without even looking at the added features, just to play EASHL.Comment

Just that! Since I gave my refurbished XBOX to my friends and we played NHL 10 in OTP/EASHL, even if NHL 11 offline we're not what we expect, we're still playing the damn game in OTP right now and it's august.
For every 2-3 games that we have idiots and morons ruining the game, glitchers and cheaters, there's one game that made you feel like you're playing for the Stanley Cup and make you feel like a kid.
For both my friend and I, it's a no-no. If there's one online, and the other came on, it's straight to OTP. EASHL and OTP is what makes the game last all year long.
For all EA crap I can say about that game, the inception of EASHL was one of the brightess ideas and changed the way I play the game. In my life, it comes as the third best thing after my wife and the dishwasher.Last edited by FBeaule04; 08-23-2011, 02:53 PM."Ice hockey is a form of disorderly conduct in which the score is kept." - Doug LarsonComment

Didn't have much time yet to enjoy the demo but from a couple of quick games I really like what I saw.
The skating looks so much more natural and fluid I really like the way that looks. It was nice to be able to play a good game without every hit seeming like and explosive one and lots of good bumps. Also love how much more intelligent the AI is on my team. Really allowed me to go to open space and expect a pass.
All in all pretty happy so far. Excited for my yearly pre-budgeted video game purchase.Comment
