    But now, there is online BaGM. "Connected". It is here!
    Where you have the ability to play 1 Human team, vs 29 CPU controlled teams.
    - Me and my 3 mates can "meet up" online any day of the week, and play together co-operatively in our team versus the CPU. It's amazing.
    - However, if my 3 mates instead comes over to my home, and I load our same GM connected to continue it, we start a match versus the CPU, and they can just sit and watch instead of grabbing a controller a play with me!


    Where is the technical, financial or moral obstacle for putting the support for such a tiny feature in there?


    Hell, I could even scrap the whole GM side of it, if they could give me a "Season" with the ability to also play online. I want to play co-op hockey with my friends, sometimes online... sometimes like it's supposed to be played, together over a few beers.
    I would think it's called GM "CONNECTED" for a reason. Just sayin. Don't get me wrong I have nothing against co op on a single console, but those acting shocked that GM Connected is online only is somewhat baffling given how this series has worked since 07 in regards to GM mode.

      I'm with you. All I want and all I have been waiting for is to be able to play normal season mode over xbox live. This sounds close, but I do not like the online only restriction. While I am 2000 miles away from my buddies, they frequently get together to play. So basically it will work when we're all at home, but when they get together to play I am **** out of luck and they will play a local dynasty mode.

        Did not buy 12 but I did rent it.

        After seeing this video this might be a must buy for me this year.

        Looks like they are making a great deal of improvements.

          What worries me is 1 vs a team. When you had a team it went to position select screen. I don't want to be position locked if another team plays with multiple users. It looks like the solo user might have to select a position from the video.

            I read somewhere else that you can select "any" for the position and play as normal. I really hope this is true.

              co-op would be fun for a little while, but eventually sliders are needed to play a more realistic brand of hockey that will keep me interested. I hope they can be added next year...
              There is no custom sliders for GM Connected?

                I know there's an app to stay connected with NHL13 despite not being on your console, but is there a way to stay connected on a computer or something as well?

                    Can I get fired as a GM in 'Connected'? Can I choose another team after my initial 3 year term?

                    Sometimes that was my favourite part of Be a GM, was starting fresh with a new team halfway through my career.

                      I believe you can quit / be removed as your current team and rejoin as a new one, but there's no firing feature. I think people would get kind of pissed if they were fired from their own online league, haha.

                        So, just to clarify, you can use custom sliders if you do a 1-person offline mode? If you go online, but keep it at 1 team, you are unable to use custom sliders?

                          Yes, no custom sliders in GM Connected, although the commish can select one of the game style presets (eg, Hardcore). As I understand it, the offline mode is separate and still the the BAGM we know & love (ahem). Both utilize the new GM Brain features, so no need to do GM Connected for a strictly offline experience.

                            thanks for the clarification. somehow..it confuses me about GM connected as single player.

                              Consider it GM Disconnected.
