Virtual skating

[SlapPat]

I have just seen a video showing a skating glitch in NHL 2010 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyZReq80TJQ

I think I've just lost my innocence. I wonder if you guys can help me answer a few questions.

In case you haven't looked at the video, it shows a player doing some pretty complex movements on only one leg. Does this mean that the animation of a player has absolutely no incidence on his movement? Would it be then possible, with the proper glitch, to see a player who is skating backward actually go forward? Are the 2k physics so better that each of the skater's movements could be explained by the movements of his legs and by the position of his skates?

Well as you'll see, the video is pretty unsettling, and I'm pretty happy that it doesn't concern NHL 2k10.

If you look closely you'll see he's wearing figure skates.

That's so wrong. :noagree:

Yeah, what he is doing is repeatedly hitting the right analog stick as a button very quickly. It's some sort of one leg deke they have in there game that has the controlled player do that. Basically makes your guy very fast an pretty much untouchable, can't even make him lose the puck.

Holy crap...

and he scores on the infamous ea wraparound

Oh boy, the things that people do to try and find a flaw in a video game. Why do people post such videos to the public? It's only inviting such a thing online. They should simply PM a mod at EASports and have the video sent to the developers.

It only works against the computer, me and a buddy tried this out against each other in the battle for the cup part of the demo and we were able to poke check the puck away and hit each other. This is not going to be seen online, only works against the computer and if that's what someone wants to do with their dynasty it doesn't bother me.

Ahhh so thats how you do it...I pressed virtually every single button to try to do that hahaah but it looks funny when you skate sideways like that . They need to fix it because it just looks way to weird
