Does the CPU try and match lines? Checking line on your top scoring line and such?

The "loose-puck chop" doesn't always seem to work when you want it to. I spent one game trying to do it on every loose puck I saw, and it only seemed to to the chop and not the poke check maybe 35% of the time. Though I suppose I could chalk it up to a lack of practice... =/

I figured out that EA's description of how to do the chop is inaccurate.

What you need to do is flick the left stick in a direction away from where your facing while holding the right bumper to activate the chop animation. Tapping it won't work nearly as well.

first..hats off to this guy...makes me wonder if he's really out there to enjoy the game or just find the glitch goals and exploit it online?

if this is not corrected by EA...13 will not be much of a difference compared to other NHL series.

my only gripe in the demo:

1. Sliders - i was hoping that sliders will be included in the demo so we can really test out the game into our likings.

2. Penalties - so far i havent experience penalties on either side.

3. Kinda slow skating - i dont know if EA want it this way in the demo so we could see the speed difference of players which will make it difficult to observe in higher speed sliders (another reason why i want sliders to be in the demo).

How bad could this glitch be for offline or online.

As an offline gamer, I'll never use that move. And I don't believe anyone's seen the CPU use it yet either.

For online, I have a feeling this backward skate will be exploited in different ways, but for this particular goal, using a human goalie should help and I'm sure a good defense can stop it too.

What'll make me drop on the ground laughing is if we discover that checking someone who's doing that results in a hitting from behind penalty, hahaha!

Really enjoyed the demo this morning. Played it about 7-8 times I was pretty happy with the results.

Still somewhat frustrated with the defensive AI on your team that doesn't really make a play for the puck, but the demo felt challenging/realistic to me.

In my 5 or 6 games in HUT I got called for a penalty in 2 or 3 of them. I also got called for a penalty in the NHL Moments Live game.

And they'll tune it. This is a major reason I don't touch the EASHL. 95% of the online community pull crap like this all day long. Luckily I know the OS GM Connected league won't have this type of play.

The CPU had a couple penalties when I was playing. I had a few opportunities to run the PP. So it does happen.

I like the "slow" skating a lot more then the previous speed of the skating. I feel as though it's a lot more realistic and brings a better flow to the game.

Totally unacceptable. A lot of people were asking if this backwards skating thing was going to allow for a glitch goal, and there you go. I can't believe they never tested that. It isn't like that is some bizarre, random thing to try.

I'll probably still get the game just for the offline. For those who want to play EASHL or other online modes... better hope for a tuner set. In the EASHL the D will be playing "prevent D" at the redline just like in 09.

Really like the skating, and the pace of the game overall.

A couple tiny points:

-Why does the default puck size need to be set to large when there is a puck shadow option?

-Reflexes of goalies on default seem to be far too quick.

Gameplay wise, this is the greatest sports game of all time. If Madden had gameplay this good I would probably quit my job and become a hermit. This game is absolutely incredible!

Thank you EA - To those who take control of your goalie in versus mode you can now hug the post properly as to switch back to controlling Defenders it is no longer the trigger as the goalie you have to do LB+A which allows you to fully play Goalie in versus.

skating backwards is so broken, its a blast to do but jeeze louise you can go end to end skating backwards as if your invisible.

I can't believe you fall for that crap either, think about it its a 1vs1 in a game with 10 skaters on the ice that trick will not work. Dam play the game in retail before thinking things are messed up. or better yet why don't you drive to EA canada and see if you infact can do a better job
Dam so tired of complainers before even playing the release of a game. remember this build of the demo could be months old.
