Thanks again for the response.

Qb, I love how my thread came 1 hour before this one yet you felt the need to close mine.

This one was stickied (not by me) and had multiple pages of replies. It should be tagged for the homepage shortly. I didn't even look at the time stamp.

EDIT: I just checked the time stamps. This thread was started at 5:45AM, the other at 8:42AM. We only need one impressions thread and this one was already off and running...

Ugh Stupid PS Store.. hasn't even been updated yet, well maybe they go by pacific time and something will happen around Noon EST...

Hey guys,

Has anyone figured out how to do a drop pass like Datsyuk made for Holmstrom in one of the first raw gameplay footage videos?

Also, how do you face wash?

Are you able to play with throwback jerseys for Pens and Wings?

PSN store updates at 7:00PM EST for me. If you really don't want to wait create a European account, which should get you the game by around 2:00PM EST.

This demo!!! Love it!!!

The gameplay refinements make this game feel so much more like a real hockey game. I have played a number of Battle for the Cups on hardcore and it will take some time to get the it down but it just feels so much better.

You really can just pass the puck off into space or to no one in particular if you want to. I was sceptical that the loose puck passing would be just animations instead of really being loose. PES and FIFA are notorious for this.

The ai are much smater and scoring goals just feels terrific.

The board play is a huge improvement over 09. At one point I had three guys pushing up against one defender on the boards. Entering board play is really smooth and the battles feel legit. You can even keep pinning someone after the play has moved on, it just looks and plays more like a scrappy hockey game and takes away from the up/down up/down fest of years past.

Visually the game is nearly identical to 09 except for the crowd who occassionally do stuff and its a nice touch. For example, I was moving the puck up screen and all of a sudden the entire crowd behind the goals got up and waved their towels, was a nice touch.

Crowd chants are better and so is the reaction to on ice play.

One thing, its a little thing but I love it is that we can finally reduce the puck shadow to the smallest setting which actually reduces the shadow to almost nothing this year. It makes the game look so much better.

Last year I didn't DL the 09 demo I played it when I purchased it and after a few games I was dissapointed. This demo is a big step up. I can imagine lots of fun unpredictable hockey this year.
The puck physics and turnovers are definitely there.

Glad I have the demo cause it will take some time to get used to the new feel.

I shook his hand too hard. It was a hard ... kind of a slap-shake. "What? You can't challenge a scoring play?''
