The "What's New" one. Looks pretty good.

It does look very good indeed, except for that calling a pick, that looks worse than I thought. Oh well, I guess thats what the penalty sliders are for.

That's the only thing I hated.

Picks happen in hockey, but not like that. Players tend to shadow someone else, and lightly wack at each others sticks (in front of the net). But to actually hook onto someone, or completely take them out of the play is an obvious penalty. I just hope it gets called more often than not.

Yea, that is kinda cheezy but whatever. Sliders will fix that. The rest of the game is a huge improvemnt, definately the best hockey game this year, I predict

It's looking pretty good indeed, though the pick that they showed (pretty early on in the video) is kind of worrying. If it is fixable by sliders - no problems. But if it's not it could potentially ruin much of the good things they seem to have done.

I like the new dekes too, they certainly look a lot more realistic than the old ones.

People shouldn't make judgements on games before the demo, or game is released. The picks look horrible, but thats stock gameplay thats probably on easy mode. Sliders + higher difficulty = different results.

about 80% of the clips were just cutscenes, and not actual gameplay. The calling for a pick looked TERRIBLE.

Those nice goals you saw were all cutscenes.

How come EA never releases actual gameplay footage? I'd like to see some actual gameplay instead of just cutscenes.
