    Puck speed seems fine to me.

    I understand the core game is still being worked on right now, but a few ideas for the developer in terms of little touches that could add some extra fun to the game (some of these are lifted from the old NHL hockey games):

    - ability to break/shatter the glass with hard shots
    - red light/siren when a goal is scored
    - hitting animations - guys sprawled on the ice, ability to check them into the benches?
    - drop passes
    - one-timers
    - I really like when the AI realizes you're on a power play and your players set up in a power play formation allowing you to move the puck around for that perfect shot

    Finally, some sort of celebratory scene or animations would be cool. I hate when you win a tournament/playoffs/championship mode and it's no different than if you won a regular game.

    Anyways, just a few more ideas.

    Will there be stat tracking/leaders?

    you play a team and play against all other teams in your leaugue 1 or 2 times
    the team with the most points will win the league

    @distinctive
    stats would be great like the one“s on stinger maybe ? (which player scored how many goals and how many pucks has the goalie saved)
    and i dont know if you have it already integrated but you should be able to get the goalie of the ice
    an epic thing would be if you crash your opponement really hard that there will be a slowmotion replay

    watched the video again, and i feel 2 things seem to be missing
    1.clearer passing animations. they don't seem to even happen, the puck just flies across the ice. maybe i have to try seeing more carefully

    2. score replays are missing. sorry i had to be so blunt there, but i personally think sports games need scoring replays. (well, at least an option, as they can be annoying for some.)

    Right, and League mode would basically be like season mode.

    well sounds like in league you play 5 or 6 teams over and over i would rather play the other 13 teams 4 times each making it 52 games and then have the top 4 or 6 teams in a playoff to fight for some kind of cup

    I'd love to be able to pull off the old spin move from NHL 95/96.

    With regards to defense, can we poke check? Block shots? Hook?

    Nope because they're essentially the same thing.

    I'm not sure, but that looks like a replay image. Could be wrong, but the on-screen icons look like a replay.

    Looks like a replay to me!

    I hope we will be able to save replays. I hate having to keep my iPod on just to show my brother an awesome goal. Hopefully there will be a slow motion replay option (unlike stinger table hockey; still a great game though!)

    I keep watching the video, and I'm amazed. Whats great about this game is that it will have (almost) everything in the first version! A shootout mode is what i look forward to the most! Maybe

    What could possibly go into the updates...more teams? New modes? Opinions, anyone?

    I'm hoping that online play, editing team and player names, and gameplay tweaks are among the first updates.

    OOoo! All good ideas!

    Having names would kind of hard to implement, i assume. Then the stats for shots and all that will need to constantly be changed! It might be possible though...Devs? Can you shed some light on this?
