However, between periods you can still access the pause menu, look at stats, and make changes and adjustments as necessary. Thanks for understanding.

sk88z, I understand that it's your job to explain these things, so my frustration isn't directed at you. I do have to call BS here, though [see #2 below].

That being said, I have HUGE problems with this:

1) It means we can never change strategies in an EASHL game until the second period.

2) It shouldn't be the only way to remove an in-game exploit. I'm a developer myself, and I can tell that this is a duct tape solution. It means "we made something that would take a lot more work to fix, so instead, we're just removing the menu option instead of actually fixing the problem itself."

3) Many of us have been complaining since '09 that we couldn't change the strategies in game, and had to pause to change them. It wasn't fixed in '10. How freaking hard is it to make an unused button in EASHL games like B (normally used for line changes) cycle through the strategies as a way of "giving back" functionality that the developers took away? It's not rocket science.

This pisses me off to no end, as it's yet another shining example of the EA developers complete lack of foresight on ANY of the changes they make. This is absolutely unacceptable from a massively funded company like EA.

NHL10 still freezes when you go into EASHL club invitations.

Console reboot is required, you cannot get back to the dashboard.

I agree, but I also miss the 08 line changes where you could use the d pad to change lines.

Is the cross crease stil lthere?

From the little i have played online, I can tell you. The CPU AI d-men and goalie are a lot better at stopping/reducing it. Very nice job EA. You can still do a legit setup but not the one where it passes through your players,etc.

Nice job by the dev team on this one.

I dont like that, I have tryed it 2 times and the goalie did the desperation save and he somehow got it in his pad without me shooting it, the other was stopped by the dman. They should sitll have it cause the nhl does it sometimes

* Prevent accidental saucer passes after receiving the puck while trying to poke check (because both actions are on R1/RT).

That is pretty awesome

Sometimes you lag however slightly while you're playing D and then you don't notice that your guy has the puck until he turns it over :/

Wow, why only put the boost slots in ONE authentic helmet?

What about the random penalties your team gets when your goalie has control of the puck?

I keep getting hooking/tripping/slashing penalties when my goalie doesnt move the puck within a 3 second time period

i thought poke check was RB, not RT???

They ever gonna fix the wrap around between the legs and the new curve shot top corner. And also add when u skate into sum1 and dont check that u actually still bump them and o ya my defensemen are always * about bein able to tie up the guys infront of the net any news on that

Just witnessed the wraparound glitch

anyone checked to see if the freezing/corrupt saves in BAGM are gone? I'm at work so I haven't been able to try the patch out yet.

Yeah, the cross crease one-timers seem to be less effective after the patch. Before the patch I scored alot of goals that way, but after the patch they seem to be alot harder to score with. Now if only the wrist shots were a little more effective......

So is the only authentic helmet that has boost slots the CCM V10? EA made it sound like you can apply slots to whichever authentic helmet you want....
