NHL 10 - Watching Sean Ramjagsingh play the game

Is there still a limit to only 3 fights a game? I hope not.

Indeed great write up bro

What about core gameplay like Defensive AI, goalie AI, shooting aim system wacked where players shoot the puck over the glass on a onetimer in front of the net, players freezing on the one-timer, magnet body checks etc.. etc.. was any of that improved with the game you played?

This kind of discussion is reserved for another time.. as it is right now EA's plan is to show some new things in the game at this time, with more details and depth later on. It will be discussed, just a little later.

Everything is possible after a whistle: checking, scrums, fights, penalties, and drawing a team’s ire with a late shot on the goalie. I think you guys might be glad to know that I didn’t see a penalty (other than fighting) taken after the whistle, so it seems like the usual hit fests shouldn’t be too costly. The AI reacting to after the whistle action was solid. I saw that if a player like Crosby or Toews was hit after the whistle it seemed like everyone on the ice came flying over to defend the team’s star. But if you hit a “minor” player, it seemed like the scrum was a bit smaller. Also, if you went after a tough guy you can be sure that a fight would probably take place. All in all I think this is a great addition, but as always I have at least one concern. I think this will drag out EAHL games a bit as it seemed like the post whistle fun averaged about 15 seconds in length.

I am disappointed to see the line I bolded, maybe a tweak on the penalties slider (I assume there is one) will help that

David Littman made it a point to tell us that yes, post whistle activity can and will result in a penalty at times - depending on several factors. I remember him specifically saying so - that penalties can result in post-whistle activity.

Can we do interference on goalie ?
Can we ''jump'' other player and take a instigator penalty ?
And what about the 3 fights limit ?

Can you tell us a little bit about those question or is it to early?

** Sorry for my english.

hey double o or slapshot, did you see any goal celebrations to confirm if they have made it 5 players vs the previous 3 person celebrations?

yeah, also for overtime wins it would be nice to see the whole team come off the bench and crowd the guy who scored along the boards,
which would work nicely with the fans who are banging the glass behind them!

I can answer this as we are able to tell you everything we saw during Sean Ramjagsingh's playing - and it was three people celebrating. That's not to say that there isn't five person ones in new cutscenes that I just didn't see.. but the ones I saw were similar to NHL 09's regarding goal celebrations.

in regards to the crowds booing the player who injures one of your players, do they boo throughout the season in Dynasty/BAP each game against that team, or just in that particular game?

I don't see the harm in answering this. Although we watched Sean play a game at a point in the playoffs, whether or not it was in Dynasty/BAP, it was said that - at least in the playoffs - that booing will be throughout all games in the series. So if game one on the road Pronger injures one of your players, when you arrive home to play game 3 and 4, the booing will be there. Every time Pronger touches the puck, booing will be echoing throughout the arena.

Are there more injuries in Play Now and in BAP to your player and the CPU?

this just makes the wait for the game that much harder. I cant believe the stuff that has been released so far.

At this time, myself, Joborule, and Double o Domwin are only able to speak of our experiences of wathching the game being played by Sean Ramjagsingh in these key areas:

- Board Play

- First Person Fighting

- Intimidation Tactics

- Precision Passing

- Post Whistle Action

- Interactive Crowds

As much as I'd love to answer your question right now, it'll have to be another time.
