NHL 13 News Post


Game Informer's Matt Bertz checks in with his NHL 13 hands-on preview. Lots of good nuggets in this one, as he hits on 22 things you need to know about the game.

Just a few quotes below...

Quote:
  • This year speedy wingers like Marian Gaborik have the ability to fly by defenders.
  • Going fast has its limitations. Players will get fatigued faster, and only elite players like Sidney Crosby are able to stickhandle and take accurate shots while skating at top speed.
  • To build the new skating system, EA Canada has added over 1,000 new animations.
  • For the first time in the series, goalies now have individual limb control.
  • "This year we've invested more effort in AI than in the last three years combined in terms of effort," Ramjagsingh says.
  • Much to the dismay of some fans, both Gary Thorne and Bill Clement return to the broadcasting booth.

actually in spite of my criticism with NHL 12 i played 3 seasons playing 90% of the games. but on the 3rd season, before each games you see their ranks...it's absolute GARBAGE because by the 3rd season most of the teams are 90+ both in offense and defense. how can all teams improve that much??? i mean 2 or 3 teams are 100% either in Defense or in Offense.

Guys, there's a Hockey IQ video from E3 over on the EA Sports forums. Not a a whole lot of gameplay, but what I saw from the goalies and the team AI was very promising.

and what guarantee do we have that this will change in 13? None... EA needs to just come clean and admit they OVER-rate too many players. Takes the fun right out of BAGM offline play.
