NHL 13 Video Review by RateSports

Hope you guys like! I am loving NHL 13 so far.

great video presentation and actual clips of the game. but i just dont agree on:

1. one sentence - combination of 2K and NHL 12???? NHL 12 is far way out to this one IMHO.

2. 9.6 out of 10 - is too high IMHO. i really like this game and i think in all NHL series since 2007, this is my favorite though there are still some that needs attention and improvement (eg. presentation). if i will rate this, it would be between 8.5-9 but not higher than 9.

I meant NHL 13 is a mixture of what made 2K stand out (properly proportioned player models, slicker post-period overlays, better skating) and what made NHL 12 the best hockey game until NHL 13.

Given your experience in working with the code in these games, and creating rosters and utilities, is there any way to view players' complete career stats in NHL 13? The NHL series has driven me nuts by giving us great gameplay, and a pretty good franchise mode, but no ability to really follow the career of the players in our little universe. I know the data must be in there somewhere, but the game just won't let us see it.

I really enjoy NHL '13' a lot. And is Imo, by far the best of this gen. But 9.6 does seem a bit too high of a rating. Of course jmo.

One other slight disagreement...about the goalies sometimes being too good. To me, in someways I don't think their good enough. It seems a bit too easy to score by shooting short side. And even at times...the angle that they setup with to face a shot seems off. Myself vs the cpu, I have all the shot accuracies set at 1. To prevent the goal totals from getting simply too high. Very nicely done review.

No way is this a mix of 2K and EA NHL .... maybe some of the presentation is similar but no way is the game play even remotely close to 2K
