Re: NHL 13 Interview Questions

Was pass reception ease and/or accuracy tuned to better reflect how difficult it is to:

1) receive a hard pass from a short distance (eg, max effort on a cross-crease pass)?

2) set up a one-timer (eg, rocket pass back to point from low in zone)?

Re: NHL 13 Interview Questions

Can we edit and save the strategies and such for all 30 teams? If so, will those carry over into GM Mode?

Re: NHL 13 Interview Questions

Can we play any game from any side's schedule in be a GM mode? Is it full 30 team control for offline GM?

Will there be fights in AI v AI matches? The lack of this has plagued cpu v cpu games for the last few years - they just don't happen and detracts from the realism. Can they please tweak this so the AI will insitigate a fight with itself.

Thanks

Re: NHL 13 Interview Questions

1. Was changing player types added back in this year? (example- changing a player from sniper to playmaker)

2. Is the puck more loose this year?

3. Does the game play sloppier so boardplay, net battles, and dump and chase are vital parts of the game?

Re: NHL 13 Interview Questions

Just to confirm, from my understanding you can coach a team now while playing a game? Kind of like a "coach mode"?

Re: NHL 13 Interview Questions

1. In GM Connected, can you prioritize individual players for the automated draft, or just generalize it by league? This has a big effect on my interest level.

2. How do trades work in GM Connected? With the new Trading system, since there is multiple Player GM's, can they both go after one player on an AI team and the computer takes the best player, or first come, first serve?

3. With the new skating and AI systems in place, will teams change their Strategies over the course of a GM Mode 'era' to suit their team?, in otherwords, will they change play styles over time and draft and trade accordingly, or stay the same the entire time?

Re: NHL 13 Interview Questions

This question is merely a cosmetic question but every video I see, they haven't changed it.

My question is:

1) Are they going to add the curved glass by the benches for NHL 13?! They don't have that stanchion anymore by the benches....

Does CAP mode finally have a way to upload/sculpt faces?

Re: NHL 13 Interview Questions

Hi,

I have a few questions I am living in australia but answers for these questions would be great.

Is there a international release date or release date for australia?

Will the collectors edition of NHL 13 available in Australia?

Will there be micro transactions in NHL HUT if yes is there any effort to fix the auction house so rare cards are actually rare?

Will Historic Jerseys or more in game playable jerseys be available for all modes?

and last but not least, Will you be able to completly customise your HUT team IE stadiam fell and goal siren types plus can we hire real coaches?


Thanks guys if you have to pick one please ask about the release date we have been very much left in the dark over here in boomarang land.

keep up the good work guys

Re: NHL 13 Interview Questions

Are you guys looking into "line scraps" or "line brawls" in the future?

Re: NHL 13 Interview Questions

schedules of games in BaGM after season 1 is a whacked! seeing my NHL team playing 5 consecutive games (unrealistic) and AHL in the last few games so that the playoffs will have EXACT SCHEDULE just like the NHL team.

i guess one of my question is

1. Is the schedule of games after season 1 will look "legit" every other day games and not 4-5 consecutive games in a week?

2. how about controls of the game - it's annoying to not to have the option to select your player in defense. you need to click RT many times before you can control your player.

Re: NHL 13 Interview Questions

* can I play a co-op connected career franchise with one other friend, where we are both position locked (like BAP) - and all other players/teams are CPU?

* can we use the BAP default camera in connected careers if we are using player lock, as before we only had access to this camera in BAP or EASHL unfortunately.

thanks!

Are you talking about trying to select one of your defensemen to play with while the puck is still up the ice? If you hold the RT, it switches you to your furthest player back (One of your D-men).
