While I don't believe that it will sell well (specific ream fans)... there still will be people that will buy it and that does generate extra revenue. I can't really see people realistically not buying the title due to a few stadiums being put as DLC, but will this be a significant boost in revenue? Doubtful.

It does take a long time post whistle especially if both players just want to get to next face-off without a round of checking or a fight. The time isn't necessary when the players are not moving. The timer should definitely be lowered if there is not any movement by both players for so long(an this can get very annoying).

just got the game any played a little online and a little Be a GM

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.

The Vikings #1 need is to shore up O-Line for Peterson. More talent there will help in Madden and in the real NFL.

Andre Smith to the 49ers is a good pick but with the players on the board at that point they may also look to BJ Raji with #10.

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

I know that people take control a LB's in madden. I don't understand how this will make them less valuable? if somone takes control a a terrible linebacker there is only so much that can be done with him. If you pass on a LB for the browns because a CB (and a Slow CB which is what he was timed at in the combine so it will cost him speed rating in madden thus making him less valuable) is slightly more "valuable". Im sorry i don't follow because the linebacker can help blitz and stuff run. I think you need to take the best player available (both for madden and in the real draft)
