Gameplay - This game feels a lot like NHL 09 but with a little slower pace. The passes are not exact like they were in NHL 09 which adds an element of realism. I was glad to see that if a breakaway was broken off the opponent couldn't just dive and trip the player and knock puck away with little or no consequences. The battle for the boards will take some time to get used to. Overall, It feels like a good game with some improvement but it does feel like EA went more towards the hardcore sports gamers and got away from the more casual sports gamers.
Online Experience - In my first 4 online games, i have had 4 Penalty Shots. This will take time for people to get used to stop doing. There was also a lot of penalties called (like after the update in 09) and i have seen 2 game misconducts so that seems like it happens more. The thing that NHL 10 got wrong (in my opinion) is the after the whistle battles. Some people just stop to avoid penalties but some won't stop checking and trying to start fights. Why would star players charge at a player unprovoked and draw a 5 minute major? I understand after you get a penalty to try and offset it (good tactic) but doing it after every whistle is just annoying.
Be a GM - played with the fantasy draft which was a great add and has been missing in NHL games for a long time. It is good to be able to build my own team. I like that it would be harder to make trades if the league doe not respect you. I haven't played the mode very much (only fantasy draft, rookie draft and 1 game) but the mode looks very promising.
Just my perception on the game.

Aaron Maybin at #11 to the Bills is an alright pick. There may be bigger needs areas but it certainly is not a bad pick at this point.
BJ Raji to the Broncos at #12 is a steal at this point. If the broncos can grab him at 12 and get some more defensive help at #18 then they will vastly improve their chances at getting back into contention in 2 years if not next year. The BPA, Best player in draft at his position, and an area of need with the 12 pick? I don't think you can ask for more
