NHL 12 - Canadiens vs. Penguins (Full Game)

[ChaseB]

Yeah I thought there were a couple cool goals here. I wish the physics engine worked in such a way where Gionta would go crashing into the boards while sliding on his gut after that third goal.

Chase, I have a request:
Can the next game you post be of the Calgary Flames vs Edmonton Oilers?

It will be Wild vs. Oilers tomorrow...so half the request is met.

This would depend on slider settings as the game is not totally dependant on Attributes. This is why I don't see the fuss and desire to change Attributes. Sliders effect the game as much if not more so. If you tweak a players Attributes and you edit your sliders afterwards, it was all for not really.

We're used to having Fleury letting in softies against Montreal, usually game winners too. I for one applaud EA on their efforts towards realism :-)

And 3 stars presentation is definitely gone. That sucks.

I'm going to have to trade for that Pasquali Dupuis. He's a machine.

Maybe it's impossible to replicate a scheme for a hockey game. Maybe I'm just asking too much from the AI and I should be thankful to have at least something that looks like hockey. Maybe asking Hal Gill to play like Bobby Orr is an error to begin with!

No you're not asking for too much. It's ridiculous how many times I have scored goals in NHL 08, 09, 10, and 11 that were all due to lack luster Defensive AI. It has barely progressed at all from NHL 07. It just ticks me off. The worst of it all is that these dumb AI mistakes come at the worst times. If it's 2-2 in the 3rd and all of a sudden the CPU AI does something so dumb defensively (like the second goal in the videos) it just kills the game. It makes me want to turn the XBOX off because I feel like I cheated. It is just stuff that is so simple and basic in real life hockey, that just isn't represented in the game for some reason.

Thanks again Chase, for the vid. Hey...nice drop pass by you late in the third!

By the looks of things, I'm thinking I'm going to have a fun time with NHL this year.
