So I wonder if they finally have all four officials on the ice this year? While they are adding small things to the game, maybe this is one of them this year.

Is roster sharing allowed this year for PS3 ?????

Answer please

This would be a great feature to have, especially as long as Petrpuck is doing rosters.

Stupid **** like dropping your stick from a cross check to the back, the hustle, the hitting, these are all things that IMO are horribly unbalanced. The angles that you can knock people down are just absurd, you see open ice hits like that MAYBE once a game, you see 5 of them every shift in the EASHL. The penalties are horribly balance, if you nudge a guy battling for a loose puck it's interference. However, if that same player shoots the puck you have a 5 second window to level him. These are just some of the things I personally think EA did a poor job of balancing and never corrected (got worse in fact), and these things have me skeptical that something like nets off the moorings or goaltender interference will not be abused.

i absolutly agree! Gimmiks are nice BUT Pls EA do the important things right

Sorry but i actually believe the graphics have gotten worse. While i do appreciate the improvements, its the lack of necessary improvements that annoy me.

Things that grind my gears:

1) generic arena
2) The ice still doesn't look like ice but like plastic
3) The graphics have gotten worse or maybe its just because ITS BEEN THE SAME FOR 5 YEARS.
4) 4 players on the ice, really, when do you ever see this in the nhl.

I look at the magnitude of Improvements Madden and NCAA are making. It is evident in the first pics as well as videos. When i see NHL, it actually looks repulsive. I do hope that the video next week makes me eat my words. Lets just say that i am not to optimistic.

Not that you don't have valid gripes, but how can you say "generic arena"? They're playing the Winter Classic in Pittsburgh in that picture. Unless you're referring to NHL11 in which case I understand your complaint.

I agree. It just gonna be a pain in the butt and frustrating like broken sticks in '11
