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.

do the crowds seem louder than last years game?

lol, not allowed to talk about my experiences of playing the game yet, but I can say that it was NOT the finished product. A large part of the reason for EA to invite a dozen people from several areas of expertise - from casual to hardcore EA NHL gamers, etc.. is to represent our - and all of yours - feedback so EA can adjust things to improve the game at this point. There still is a couple of months that EA can adjust/tweak/put in the game before it needs to go gold, so keep the discussion coming.

isIt seems NHL 10 is mostly finished, but there were some obvious unfinished areas, such as a board advertisment missing (just text saying the size of the required graphic to be placed there), some game text that was question-marked in brackets to indicate that a replacement text might be made in the final version, things like that.

I forgot to add something I've been meaning to. As I was watching Sean Ramjagsingh play, I was purposely looking for cutscene framerate issues.. as this was being played on the XBOX 360. And it seems that it's been fixed - all cutscenes are smooth. Minor issue, but something to add nonetheless.

As the game was played, volume was set very low as to allow discussion between us and Sean/David. Same goes for later as we all played, so this is a tough question to answer. However, earlier - David Littman said that with interactive crowds and such, crowds are louder this year.

awesome, and i suppose you could not hear goal horns either to see if they are correct?

For more info of the game that I, Jobo, or Double can discuss, not for a little bit yet.. can't say when (it's very restricting but I understand EA's reasons). However, as with the game features and articles from other sources have come out before I was allowed to say something, I wouldn't doubt it if the same thing happens, meaning more information will come very soon. It's a bad answer - I know.. I just can't tell you anything other than "soon". It isn't my style to prolong things, to hold things back, but it isn't my decision to do so, lol.

Keep an eye out for new things everytime you come here, that's all.

slapshot, if i brought zack stortini down to your location ready for a fight, do you think we could get more information out of you? lol just kidding man, thanks for all the info you have given so far.

so chicago just scored off a slapshot where the defenseman was on his knees. is there different types of ways to shoot like wristers and slapshots?

Sorry Abiner but even though we didn't learn any of this info until now doesn't mean that EA hasn't spent time on trying to figure the bugs out in the modes. they could of created it 1 month after shipment of 09 and have been testing it for that long. We have no idea when they created it nor will we ever know for sure.

lol, Stortini could definitely beat me to a pulp - I can tell you that.

all this info is crazy awesome. I really think this 10 will improve so much on what was already a great game in 09. and me personally I love the first person fighting, seems like it could be very fun.

More info will come over time, but yes - I think despite that other thread, most people will love NHL 10.

yea slap, you couldn't be more subtle about that other thread.

lol, thats a hint if i have ever seen one.

Lock that other thread. He should just SHUT UP! The dumb thing is he hasnt even played a compleated version of 10 so how does he know it will fail?
