        A couple of other things now that I've cleared the cobwebs (flying to and from Vancouver in one day is crazy)...

        - They estimated that there are now 65-70 percent real faces in the game. In particular, because of the new focus on physical play, they've added a lot of tough guys and defensive defensemen this year.

        - This is no surprise but a lot of the equipment has been updated. When I played as the Habs, Carey Price had his correct pads and was using a "Warrior" goalie stick.

        - The 100th Anniversary Montreal Canadiens "Dream Team" returns again this edition.

        - In "Be A GM" mode you have the option of GMing a "fantasy draft" team.

        - When you flip a puck in the zone, or it gets deflected and flips up in the air, players will take their hand of their stick, reach up and grab the puck then drop it on the ice for them to play it.

        - The "Pink and White" ladies version of the team sweaters can now be found in the crowd.

        - "Puck heads" are now in the crowd as well.

        - The play by play voice still calles Matt Stajan "Matt Stay-on." (And Stajan has complained about this directly to EA) and Dennis Wideman is still called "Wid-a-min."

        - The benches are still too small, meaning they don't fit the entire team on the bench and are shrunk down.

        - For PS3 owners, you can now customize the music in the game, meaning, if the Vancouver Canucks take to the ice to U2, you can set them to do so in the game. You can also customize goal songs per team (but not per player.)

        - Speaking of PS3, watching the game run side by side on identical television sets, it looks cleaner and purer and more fluid on the PS3, but a slight margin. It just looks better on PS3.
        He posted a lil bit more...


        I don't even like Stajan, but that shit pisses me off every time I hear it.

            That is awesome. Really makes offline worth playing. I know my bro and I like to run GM seasons against each other and we could never do it in hockey because you could always only control one team.
            All you need to know when thinking of the NHL vs Madden series is the two people involved in making the games.

            "rammer" and "cummings"

            The NHL series is a giver, Madden takes the load.

              Yeah, the 100th team was basically pointless. I wish they would add some more classic teams into the game. Like how about all the Islanders, Oilers, Flames and such. Original six teams perhaps.

              I really don't think any game is going to come close to NHL10 this year. These guys are just setting the bar way to high.

                      I love me some fantasy draft. I have always wanted to get like 4-6 guys, do a fantasy draft and have a small league like that. I also like it in career mode as it just adds some new elements to the game.
