[Dragoulios]

yay, Same spear eagle goalie animation as the last 5 years...

I mean, WOW that looked GREAT!

[LuGer33]

Light years better than the skating in NHL 07-12.

It sure looks better. The key is the differentiation of skating abilities and styles.

wow one teaser and already see something that looks like crap- the goalie belly flopping waiting for the player to take a shot.

Looks better yes, but does it play better? That's what I'm interested to find out. If it has a whole new feel to the skating then yeah, that's pretty exciting. If it's just a bunch of new skating animations? **** that.

I'm also interested to see what the deal is for year 3 of the "3 year plan" for physics implementation, as far as body contact and the way the puck moves. Surprised no samples of that were shown. Well, maybe surprised isn't the right word.
