Here's hoping the music system is the same this year. :)
They've added goal horn cues this year. So now you can not only replace the goal music with team-specific ones but if you're unhappy with the horn you can replace that separately.
Manual aim for online games is pretty much a deal killer for me. I'm tired of 0-0 games going to shootouts for 8 rounds before they get decided....
At what exact time is it coming out? I'm pondering taking a day off...
So, like, should we try do do something leaguey this year? We tried and mostly failed the last few years, giving me very little hope it would succeed this year but what the hell.

Third year in a row I say that I'm in
Having said that, I need a couple of weeks with the game first to figure out how to score on y'all first.
If I recall correctly, I played the most games in our league. In fact, the only person I did not play a game against was....who was it? Oh yeah, Coldforged himself. It was either Jayhawker or Counselar who felt the wrath of Ovechkin in a 1-0 overtime shoot-out.
Wish I could play this year, but at this point I'll probably stick to offline play. I don't think I'll be able to find consistent time for online games.
BTW, if there was someone who you knew had the game already, would you know if his impressions were generally positive or negative, hypothetically? ;-)
Hypothetically speaking, if this was true, I also would like to know
So I tried the demo last night on my PS3. While greatly impressed by the graphics and physics, I found myself less impressed by the fact that none of the tutorials ever told me how to pass the puck.
I'll keep futzing I guess.

I haven't tried it on PS3 but if it's like the 360 version you'd use the right trigger to pass.
So here we are with a long weekend coming up and the damn game doesn't come out until Tuesday? How cruel.

Hypothetically, if I did know a hypothetical someone who was playing the hypothetical game, I would say that he (or she) hypothetically had a lot of positive things to say and that I am hypothetically mad that he (or she) has it and not me. Hypothetically, of course.
Yeah, I remember that being an issue last year, when Toronto won the Northeast and Atlanta walked the Southeast by a good 18 points. Obviously, the NHL is not NCAA football or basketball, but I don't think anyone would argue that Edmonton > Vancouver.
Toronto won the Northeast
You hater you.

One positive thing posted.
One of the little things that I stumbled on was which arena fit my team the best. At first, I was just using whatever arena I got in my latest pack, which at the time was a North American rink. I was playing one of the other guys here and played in my rink - I ended up losing, and his big defensemen had their way with my forwards. We immediately played another game, in his international rink, and the tables completely turned the other way, as my forwards were able to use the bigger ice to their advantage and totally abuse his lack of speed on the blueline. Don’t have to tell you which arena I’m using now!
Want. Now.
For what it's worth to those who have a Wii, I've been playing Slapshot for a few days now and it's pretty interesting. It's not gonna be NHL '11 as a pure hockey game, but if you want to play a modern incarnation of the original Genesis NHL game with a Pee-Wee to Bantam to Juniors to NHL mode it's pretty damn nifty so far. Little Todd just took home the Pee Wee league championship, while leading the league in scoring and getting the playoff (one game) MVP. This afternoon I start at the Bantam level. Gonna be cross-checking Female Doggoes like mad.
Amazon shipped my preorder today. Of course, with the holiday, I won't get it until Tuesday.
I'd be down to try another league. Hopefully we can get it to work this year.
I want my crappy Sabres, though.
