I'm about to play the demo so I'll tell you in a bit.

 

[Got teeth? Keith doesn't.]

It's pretty sick.

 

[Got teeth? Keith doesn't.]

I got into a fight with Hossa and he won but got a fractured jaw from it haha

And the hitting system is sick.

 

[Got teeth? Keith doesn't.]

I got my first broken stick!

It's pretty good. I like the presentation - the little player card that pops up looks really nice. It's a small thing, but that makes a difference.

Some of the saves I saw were awesome. Leighton made a save on me where the puck bounced up, hit him on the back, and he spun around like a helicopter to knock it away. Like he felt it on his back and did that move to swat it away. I never saw a goalie do that before.

I only played it twice but the game seemed slower that previous years.

Good demo though, they sim the game until the third period, so you get a different situation every time you play. The first time I played with the Hawks I was up 7-4 and the second time I was down 4-3.

nice! CCS online team?

Well, I hate be a pro mode so wouldn't my skater be awful? Not really sure how that works.

I live my life one Be a GM Season at a time, and for that month or less, I'm free.

It's slow because the game speed is probably at 50%. When you buy it, you can change it.

The Goalie did that alot for me last year...

Did you try the glitch goal to see if it worked?

Your player online is upgraded through your play on-line....i dont think it has anything to do with your offline player except the name

Yes

I know you'll be able to turn up the game speed, but I'm surprised they made it slow for the demo.

No, I don't know how to glitch and don't want to know how to glitch.

That's the reason I don't play random people online, because of all the cheesers. I stick to playing Be a GM and people I know online.

As for the goalie, I did not see goalies do that for me, or the opposing goalie, last year. That was new to me.

It's the default speed.

 

[DewsSox79]

100 percent agree!

 

[Kush77]

It's the default speed.

I understand it's the default speed. The default speed is slower than last year's default speed, because the demo was slower.

 

[DewsSox79]

my take on demo:

Positiveslayers faces improved, details of the ice much better, checking is more realistic. I like the spot light when a goal is scored.

Negatives: fighting still blows, alot of the same commentary from previous 2 years, no scuffles in front of the net.

misc: I hope the demo is using a default goal horn at the uc, because the horn is so off.

 

[Capt. Serious]

Demo loading time is slow as ****.

 

[Kush77]

Yes, the spotlight on the goal was cool. Love the little things.

I like the way the camera zooms in on faceoffs too.

 

[Capt. Serious]

The full game needs to get here even faster!

 

[tbo41fan]

can somebody try the glitch goal?

 

[Capt. Serious]

We have 3 weeks before the full version, relax.
