Re: First NHL 12 Screenshot Revealed, What Differences Do You See?
Like MLB The Show, I see the goalie mask can fly off. I'd also like to know if there'll be minor scrums in front of the net post- whistle, like real life.

I can honestly say I'm not at all excited about these features. Goalie contact and taking the net off the moorings seem like the types of things that will become abused. Teams will figure out ways to knock your goalie down without penalty, and knock their own net off to eliminate scoring chances.

Re: First NHL 12 Screenshot Revealed, What Differences Do You See?
I hate to sound skeptical, but I hope the whole 'running the goalie' doesn't get overdone.
I can see a lot of games where the goalie gets hit, a scrum ensues and then some bogus penalties are given out. Similar to times where, during a post-whistle scrum, I'd do absolutely nothing, and then someone would crosscheck Zetterberg repeatedly, and without retaliating, I'd get a 2-minute roughing penalty. EA has a bad habit of introducing things but not testing them thoroughly enough. So part of me wonders what will be broken about checking goalies and if we'll have to wait for NHL13 for them to refine it. |

I for one love the direction the game is going in terms of the real time physics engine. It allows for more dynamic game play and makes the game look and feel more realistic. Sure things can be tweaked here n there, but answer me this: If EA didn't add any new features to the NHL series year after year, and left the same old Dynasty Mode, Season Mode, and game play features, etc the same year after year, would you buy it? I would say no. I don't want the same scripted animations, I don't want the same old Dynasty Mode and Season mode, I don't want the same gameplay features in terms of penalties, post whistle scrums, etc. When I pay 70$ for a game I WANT new things added, I don't want the same things untouched just because it's "fine". Sure, Be a GM Mode needs fixing, the Sim Engine needs to be redone, but just because those need to be fixed, doesn't mean that EA isn't allowed to add stuff that's actually in the game of hockey we all love and watch like goaltender interference, nets coming loose, the Winter Classic, etc. All I'm trying to say is, the majority people want things changed and new things added, not the same game for 5 years in a row with minor tweaks. |
