Demo is now up for download on XBox live. Pretty sure its on PSN as well.
Having played through the three modes available on the demo, (HUT, play now and Be a pro) it all looks very good. I like the new goalie interaction, its no where near as messy as I thought it was going to be and works well in the game. The incidence of un realistic big hits has been toned down too and gives for a far more realistic feel IMO.
Be a Pro has benefited from a skip to next shift feature which is great. Looking forward to Sept 9th now.

Not on xbox live, though I do have the game pre order. If I connect to the Internet with my console, do I have to pay to go online to download the demo?

Think you only have to have a gold (paid) subscription to Live to play online, pretty sure you can download demos and stuff with the silver level (free).

I've played it on Xbox 360. I like the gameplay. I haven't noticed any massive changes, but the overall gameplay does seem to be better. I'll be buying come release day.

Having played the demo I was very impressed, hits seem a lot better e.g. your not always knocking players to the ground,
The gameplay also felt alot smoother and more natural but this is always expected to improve year in and year out,
Already got it on pre-order on Amazon (along with NFL 12), hope it comes a day early like some purchases I have made on there before have!!!

I know it's the luck of the draw, but traditionally which online stores ship out early/on time? I've pre-ordered with hmv.com and I just don't want the game to arrive days after the release date.

Having tried play.com, amazon amongst others, I've found www.shopto.net to be best with regards to arriving just before or on release date, usually before. It's also £4ish cheaper.

Do shopto do free delivery?
Thanks for the heads up, their price is £3 cheaper than hmv at the time I ordered, £5 cheaper now. If it works out that they do free postage it will be worth my while to cancel hmv and preorder with shopto.
Thanks Mac.

I hated NHL 11, I just found it no fun to play and not half as good as previous versions as it "didn't feel like hockey", but I love the NHL 12 demo. I was sceptical about the touching goalies thing, but it's hard to interfere on purpose and feels more realistic and the whole game feels so much better and more like the real game. I know now I'll be getting the real thing at some point once it comes out, although it's annoying that they aren't going to release it with Winnipeg's jerseys, you have to wait to download them as a patch....
