Who's a higher rated player? Iginla or Forsberg?
|
I'm not 100% sure, but Iginla was a 95 I believe Forsberg was a 92

which teams are rated higher than the Flames?
|
Anyone over 82 overall :P We didn't have alot of time to go through the finer points like player ratings, we were mainly there to get a handle on how the game itself played

Did they do anything cool like that for the flames? Also in the Dynasty did they make it possible to fire or hire coaches at all?
|
The Saddledome flashes red lights much like in the playoffs, the entire arena flashes red, it looked great!
In Dynasty you are the GM, if you don't accomplish the owners goal in 2 years, you are one fired GM! I believe The Flames goal was to reduce payroll by 15% and make the playoffs. Different teams have different goals, a higher payroll team like Philly was a Stanley Cup.
These goals change as you complete them.

Hey Jordan, how in the world did u end up testing the game?
|
I was one of 8 people from around the Web, hockey gaming sites, video game sites that were chosen to take part in an all expense paid trip to Vancouver/EA Blackbox Studious to testplay the game.
We were basically stalked by staff from EA who were watching us post for a few weeks to see what we were like and how passionate/informative we were with our post's regarding Hockey video games.
They've done this in the past with the other Sports titles, but never for NHL... Until now.

Do they have an option in the Options Menu, to toggle the CBA either on or off?
|
Haha.. no

Are the salary demands of talented players out to lunch again?
|
It seems much more realistic, more accurate to the real NHL, players will actually leave the barganing table for good if you lowball them too much.

Oh yeah, In the dynasty mode, our there ramifications this time for running a deficit. You could be running a debt of 40 mil and yet I could find no consequences.
|
As mentioned above, there are specific goals that are in place depending on the financial situation of your team.

I heard that you can't create a player is that true?
|
This is true sadly, EA wanted to add in a new and improved create a player mode because they were unhappy about previous versions, but time restrictions didn't allow it, it really seemed like they were mainly focused on improving the dynasty, online leagues, presentation, and most importantly the core gameplay above minor things like a create a player option...
It also sounds like they're going to really be on the ball with roster updates this year, at least on a month-to-month basis which is great news.
