Re: NHL 12 Video - Signature Traits

I don't know. I didn't see a whole lot that I've not already seen. And I always hated how if you had the puck in the corner and carried it toward the slot your teammate would skate toward you instead of remaining on the other goal post for a possible one timer.

I guess that's the point of net prescence traits though, maybe Burrows was trying to screen or get in front of the goalie? I don't know. Either way, it sounds great. I'd like so see some other demonstrations that show it better though.

The thing I'm most interested in is the Be A GM stuff. I'm hoping that there's more information than we've already had.

Don't worry, there is more Be a GM news coming July 20th - we'll probably hear than of EA telling us more additions to the mode - like suspensions and mid-season contract extensions [which were confirmed by Grame on IGN] Check NHL 12's Hockey Whiteboard for all the dates

With these new traits, what will happen to create-a-play?

Nothing. I'm sure it will still be there. They said that the traits are not something that makes the players do their assigned "trait" every time. In other words Holmstrom won't ALWAYS be in front of the net, but its what he will most likely do.

Yep, I'm ready now for some good news about GM mode too, Gagnon.

I've got my fingers crossed for us to hear about some nice surprises. Like maybe....despite hearing no one saw it but, custom season length is in. Custom conference/division. So in season two of GM mode, we can mimic the coming division changes. Goal/Hockey News mag covers. A guy can dream can't he?

Its nice to see that someone else noticed as well. To me that was an example of bad ai on the defense. I don't get how burrows is just allowed to be that free in the crease area
