Light years better than the skating in NHL 07-12.

Re: NHL 13 Video - True Performance Skating Revealed

It sure looks better. The key is the differentiation of skating abilities and styles.

wow one teaser and already see something that looks like crap- the goalie belly flopping waiting for the player to take a shot.

Looks better yes, but does it play better? That's what I'm interested to find out. If it has a whole new feel to the skating then yeah, that's pretty exciting. If it's just a bunch of new skating animations? **** that.

I'm also interested to see what the deal is for year 3 of the "3 year plan" for physics implementation, as far as body contact and the way the puck moves. Surprised no samples of that were shown. Well, maybe surprised isn't the right word.

I'm thinking that's gotta be a human goalie. I guess they tried to recreate this....

Gatorguy is 100% right. Giroux's goal was the prettiest shootout goal this season. EA did a very good job of recreating it. NHL 13 will be sports game of the year if this stuff works as promised.

100% bang on. It's totally a human controlled goalie to re-create the moment. Not even the Rookie AI would go down that early.

FINALLY!! As much as I wanted to get 12 with RTP, the more I played the demo, the more I said eff it cuz the animations still looked and felt stiff after all these years but now, WOW, at least from the way the animations look!! If the demo feels great along with the RTP, I'm in!!
