I'll be contacting you in September... I'll like Iggy please. Preferably the shot of him scoring his 30th this last season.

[Flash Walken]

Things I want:

• Broken glass from a hit or a shot
• I want to be able to knock a guy's helmet off with a hit
• I want to be able to check him into the bench
• I want to be able to check him into an open bench/penalty box door
• I want to be able to see replays of hipchecks
• I want to see guys helped off the ice by the trainer/stretcher and have that contribute to the severity of the injury
• I want more statistical variance in the skill level of players
• I want to be able to hit a guy regardless of what stage of animation he is in
• I want fights between a guy with low fighting skill and a guy with high fighting skill to actually mean something
• I want improved Be A GM mode (meaning, don't trade try to trade me 4 junk players from the minors for Tyler Seguin especially if I don't even have him on the block)
• I want draft picks after the first round to matter

F GameStop and their booster pack. Last time I did that I got told "Sorry, we're all out" when I went to pick up the game. GameStop blows.

It's probably the same as the previous booster pack. A couple of minor boosts and the equipment you see in that picture. Not really a deal breaker if you don't end up getting it.

Will it do anything more than just look ridiculous on your player?

GameStop still blows.

I assume boost slots...though why play with them? It's more fun to try to develop those boosts naturally.

I played a Ranked Versus game online yesterday.

Holy f*** is NHL 11 broken.

The AI is so crappy. A mutilated monkey could program better AI than EA.

If you run Luongo, i wonder if he'll stay down for an hour like he does. They should make it that trainers have to come out when Luongo is hit.

HUT playoffs are a complete joke. Hope they fix it for 12.

I basically went 9-0 on a playoff run. On only 3/9 occasions, the loser on the other end of the HUT playoffs didn't quit. So I've basically won the playoffs twice... but of course, it doesn't count when they quit, yet somehow it still counts towards contracts (go figure).

Finally, some ###### cheeses me out and wins in OT in the final.

They should have a special button combo for diving exclusive to the Canucks.

[Russic]

I hear if you bite the controller the game gives you penalty immunity for the duration of the playoffs.

[Heavy Jack]

I found it!!!

[Hockeyguy15]

Anyone watching the E3 coverage? It started at 2

You don't need to, just play NHL 11 and there you go.

[3 Justin 3]

I haven't seen any clips yet.

If someone knows where they are, post them. The gameplay just from listening to EA sounds exactly the same, which means terrible AI again.
