NHL 11 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (360, PS3)

[CS10029]

I'm so giddy right now. This game is remarkable. They didn't change much, but the changes are just so appant if you have played. This is gorgeous.

Everybody needs to remember, the strength of your pass is based of the right trigger.

Good to hear CS, I'm downloading now at 7% can't wait to try it out. Interesting to hear the change to passing. I actually I think am the only one that liked manual last year go fig.

Thanks mate but I don't understand. Don't worry though, enjoy the game bro.

Theres a slider for broken sticks, they prolly have it jacked in the demo to show it off. Not too worried about that.

The organic feel people were talking about is kinda coming through. With the more manual passing, hits and SO FAR what looks like better poitional AI defense and better CPU AI offense. Need to play more, but it looks pretty damn good right now.

Yeah I thought I heard about the slider. I'm just worried about EASHL and online. I played another period and didn't see any, so maybe it was more than average.


Also, the more I experience the checking the more I like it. There's some big hits, probably more than happen in real life, but the minor collisions look really really good IMO. MUCH better than 10. They make sense.

Oh, and does anyone know if the team name you pick in the demo for UT carries over to the retail game? I want to try UT but need to think of a good name first if that's the case.

Maybe it is the way I play, but I haven't seen one, I'm about to start my third, third period. Hahaha.

EDIT- Anyone else got any impressions? I'm kinda falling in love over here...
