    Perv, why do you care?
    Looks great

    I am such a huge hockey fan. I can't wait until this come outs. Finally the only "hockey" won't be air hockey. I hope it's great cuz I've been waiting forever for a hockey sim.

    No. 1 on my must have list - i hope the controls are easy as X2 Football but looks like a FIFA joystick? Let's see - hope it's out next week!

    Totally different sport dude, Ice Hockey is much better, but I don't think you guys play it in Australia.

    Holy crap! I'll be keeping my eye on this!
     
  8. Hi all,

    We've been spending the last few weeks polishing the game, working on AI and visuals. We would have liked to have completed the game by now but we think it's important to get the game right before releasing it.

    So, we've got maybe 2 more weeks of work remaining before we can even think about submitting the game to Apple. Not too much longer and I hope you'll wait patiently for the game.

    I'll keep you updated on progress....

    Cheers,
    Nigel

    Hockey has always been my favourite console game so I am very eagerly anticipating this one. If it plays similar to the NHL Hockey's of old by EA, I'll be a happy camper.

    You said u were going to release the gameplay video though Nigel 2 weeks ago
     
  13. I know I said that there would be a gameplay video by now. However, we've been spending a lot of time on making the game as much fun as possible and that's meant that were only now polishing the animation playback/transitions.

    Again, sorry for the delay and as soon as we have a gameplay video we're happy with then it'll be posted here.

    Thanks for your patience.

    Nigel

    It's alright dude, take all the time you need to make a great game. Just curious, did you fix up the look of the goalie? And will there be team customization?

    Im so excited for this! I don't know why, maybe it's because it'll bring back the memories of going to Manchester Storm matches with my mum, or the time I went to Canada and watched Toronto Maple Leaves... Ahh, memories!

    I reckon that after a short period of time this will be dropped to £1.79/ $3. They lowered rugby nations, and have made other games free. Plus, unless a game gets in the top 100, it's very unlikely to excel and stand out from the huge app store crowd.
    Note that I did say "very unlikely". If made correctly, with all the correct rules, great gameplay/ AI and more polish than seen with their other games, it could raise the bar for sports games in general. Still, unless TA give it a raving review, and there's amazing positive feedback, I think I'll wait for a price drop.
