yea, gameplay is coming along, but visuals and presentation need a major overhaul as well


and the graphics are amazing, but.. they were amazing in 07. time to make a few upgrades. i think one of my complaints is an asset to many people. i dont like the sticks. i like hitting a button to shoot. its archaic, but its what i grew up doing. and playing in the broadcast view. i dont like going up and down. its easier but i like looking at the game going side to side.

i agree, they were amazing, but look at the intro video from last year, they could be better. and i personally like the sticks, but you can change those settings, as well as the camera to broadcast view.

My problems with the game:

THE FIGHTING SUX
The stats really are broken, especially when playing Be a Pro or EASHL
The hitting is just... ridiculous...

The fighting has always been bad but I actually don't mind the hitting now. Last year all I did was hipcheck the opposition like crazy, this year they have toned down retarded hitting.

i know.. but i havnt tried that yet. when i first got 07, i used to play broadcast with the sticks... that DIDNT work.

ima try nhl 11 right now. see how i like it.

edit: couldnt get the controls exactly how i wanted. you could edit the set, but you cant actually choose what buttons do what. at least that i could figure out.

thats just the physics engine. the graphics are the same in nhl 11 as they were in nhl 07.

But the engine for games is gameplay, the graphics is separate from the gameplay engine.

Like COD series all use the same engine but the Treyarch games all look cartoony and shitty yet they still use the same engine. Same with the Medal of Honor and Battlefield games, same engines, different graphics.

You can use NHL 94 controls, I like the sticks because it gives you more control and quite frank, they are super easy to figure out, but it just may be my generation since FPS games are with two sticks and I got that down pat.

the sticks are easier then shit to figure out. the problem i have is when i have nhl 2001 and nhl 11, and id rather play nhl 2001 because its more fun, and frankly a better game, then EAsports has some problems. right now im playing nhl 2005. because its more fun then the newer games (the NHL 2005 sucks in some ways. frickin retarded ass AI.)

Good man.

Also if you traded in any games, you could have gotten an extra 40% towards you trade-ins for preordering.

I got 39 bucks that way just for trading in NHL 10 and Black Ops.

I ordered a game for launch day before, and it'll arrive on the date it's suppose to.

I was going to go take a picture of the game case at work today but forgot.

It's generally the same thing as NHL 11 with what I believe to be a slower physics engine and the same old gimmicky goals. You also seem to get sucked into the goalie whenever you're close to him, causing a penalty.

pretty much. but the AI is tougher. not in a good way though. in a much worse way.

i havnt been pleased with an NHL game from easports since about nhl 09. maybe its time to stop giving them my money to put out mediocre games.
