Sounds interesting. I hope they're able to integrate these features while keeping some sense of realism though, a lot of these could turn the game into something more resembling NHL Hitz than NHL '09.Quote:

One little thing that they need to have is picking whether you want to go first or not in the shootouts (if you're the home team) and setting up your shootout line-ups after overtime, not before the game. Players who had good games should have a better chance of scoring than players who didn't.
Nice find Chartrand... fighting was so bad in the previous games that I never bothered doing it, now maybe I will. Going 1st person with it was a great idea.Quote:

On ice toughness and intimidation is taken to a new level in NHL 10 where winning one-on-one battles for possession of the puck along the boards becomes a test of will and skill. Utilizing an all-new board physics engine, players can use their body to shield the puck on the boards and then kick-pass it to teammates. Bigger, stronger players pin opponents to the boards while fanatical fans bang on the glass, just like real life. Fore-check defenders, pressure the puck and finish checks to intimidate your opponent into mistakes. Players fatigue, bobble passes, and avoid collisions under threat of constant physical pressure.

Not sure if that article adds any more information then what's out there, but it was a good read.
A fatigue option, line changes and more than 6 on a team would be pretty cool. Our PS3 LGK Club has plenty of members, it sucks having to split up games.
Online EASHL would be more like offline BAP mode with some bench time.
coach, put me on the scrub line!
Interesting post on EA's Forums by someone who got a sneak peek at the game.
