It's gotta be a goalie it's been way to long since there was one on the cover.

They could go a crazy route and put Chara on the cover since they are all about the new "physic engine".

So when I goto hit people now the fuckin forwards are going to have to get out of the way when I come storming through.

Good enough for me.

I better be able to pull a 'double pad stack save / leg sweep of death' on some assholes.

Here is the blog on the NEW SIM ENGINE. Basically how everything is suppose to work. Looks good so far, just hope it translates over to the real game.

I'm also wondering what this "big win" is at the end.

Yea don;t really need to know about "simming" didn't know that was a big problem but hopefully any change is good change.

Gonna be getting this after skipping last year.

Simming has been brutal for the last few years.

The first screen shot alone where it shows a proper amount of faceoffs is a surprise.

I always remember playing 3rd periods of games that I've simmed and seeing the faceoff stats at like 12-10 or some stupid amount. They've needed to overhaul this since 08.

The Be a GM improvements. Trading his got worked on so that the computer offers up things worthwhile. The sim tracker thing is involved as well, so you can sim stuff and figure out what a certain player is doing.

They also brought in retired jersey's and also some new things for the younger guys.

Yes retired numbers! I know it's nitpicking but it's annoying seeing Wings with the numbers 6, 7, 9 when I'm not using them.

is this the 3rd straight year where "all new desperation saves" are a feature? Even tho they are practically the same animation?

I have high hopes though, seems most of their focus is on things I wanted improved.

[Ravin]

Would be nice if the desperation save didn't make all NHL goalies turn into olympic gymnists, with the ability to do a splits in a quick fluid motion while sliding across the crease (and the puck over their head for a goal).
