-after the whistle scrums are pretty cool, although I'd be concerned that people would drive me crazy in online games (I took a shot with Hudler after the whistle and Orpik chased me down, which was awesome)
-the first person fighting is better than last years fighting, it's not great or anything though
-Kronwall batted a rebound out of the air and out of the zone, players moved to catch pucks that were floating by, goalies look better than ever.


I will be reserving a copy soon. I'm really looking forward to the full game.
They would get roughing penalties, at least it happened to me, so I don't think it will be as annoying as last year.
