Re: First NHL 12 Screenshot Revealed, What Differences Do You See?
The hitting is not fine, not by any means. Bracing for a hit is irrelevant, because even the tiny little nudges are extremely effective against even players with high strength and balance. Stupid **** like dropping your stick from a cross check to the back, the hustle, the hitting, these are all things that IMO are horribly unbalanced. The angles that you can knock people down are just absurd, you see open ice hits like that MAYBE once a game, you see 5 of them every shift in the EASHL. The penalties are horribly balance, if you nudge a guy battling for a loose puck it's interference. However, if that same player shoots the puck you have a 5 second window to level him. These are just some of the things I personally think EA did a poor job of balancing and never corrected (got worse in fact), and these things have me skeptical that something like nets off the moorings or goaltender interference will not be abused.
i absolutly agree! Gimmiks are nice BUT Pls EA do the important things rightComment

Re: First NHL 12 Screenshot Revealed, What Differences Do You See?
Sorry but i actually believe the graphics have gotten worse. While i do appreciate the improvements, its the lack of necessary improvements that annoy me.
Things that grind my gears:
1) generic arena
2) The ice still doesn't look like ice but like plastic
3) The graphics have gotten worse or maybe its just because ITS BEEN THE SAME FOR 5 YEARS.
4) 4 players on the ice, really, when do you ever see this in the nhl.
I look at the magnitude of Improvements Madden and NCAA are making. It is evident in the first pics as well as videos. When i see NHL, it actually looks repulsive. I do hope that the video next week makes me eat my words. Lets just say that i am not to optimistic.Comment

Re: First NHL 12 Screenshot Revealed, What Differences Do You See?
Not that you don't have valid gripes, but how can you say "generic arena"? They're playing the Winter Classic in Pittsburgh in that picture. Unless you're referring to NHL11 in which case I understand your complaint.

Fleurys mask coming off, could mean that we will players losing there helmets and not goalies every time they get hit. I'm not going to judge the game until I can say that I've played the demo.Comment

Does anyone remember last years opening screenshot?
It was a waaay too low hipcheck, the player literally had elbows on the ice. This was tuned back massively to what he have now, which isn't perfect but is certainly better than what we saw.http://dropthepuck.blogspot.com/

Yeah, I remember thinking the demo was the stuff too, but it seems the more they tuned the game, the worse it got. I think they should have just fixed the issues and left the rest alone.Comment

Re: First NHL 12 Screenshot Revealed, What Differences Do You See?
100% correct sir! The game got absolutely brutal once they tuned it. This especially showed in online play which IMO is the only fun part to the game because the AI is so predictable. Even online got bad because of the exploits. The main exploit with the final tuner was the ridiculous one timers. I had three one timers scored on me by my opponent from the corner. He would give the puck to the defenseman at the blue line and pass it down to one of the corners. His player would stand just above the goal line and put in the one timer every single time. When is the last time an NHL teams defense had to worry about a guy one timing one home while standing in the corner just above the goal line. It's virtually impossible to stop that in this game because the CPU doesn't cover the guy in the corner.
Needless to say I just stopped playing the game from that moment on. I've picked it up a couple times recently because the playoffs had me itching to play a hockey game but the AI is just too stale to play. So many things need improvement in this game. Every game just feels the exact same. Hockey is such a dynamic game, but EA needs to find a way to make it feel dynamic. It's one thing for NHL 07 and 08 to not have that dynamic side because the controls and features were so fresh and fun. 09 was good but it started that stale feeling. NHL 10 and 11 have officially brought that stale factor to the maximum for me. They are virtually the same two games with different hitting physics (that are still arcadish). This series needs to make some major gameplay changes.
I apologize for my stern comments about the game because I know a lot of people enjoy the game and I hate ruining it for others. The thing is that I absolutely love everything about hockey, and this game just isn't doing it justice any more. It's just not a great representation of hockey. I really hope major elements are changed so I can finally play this game year round again instead of for 3 months. I'm actually really hoping 2k releases a game for 360 and ps3 this year just so I can have two options in case NHL 12 doesn't make the necessary changes to make the game fun for me again.Last edited by bwiggy33; 05-22-2011, 04:18 PM.NHL-Minnesota Wild

Re: First NHL 12 Screenshot Revealed, What Differences Do You See?
Not so, NHL 11 had Hockey Ultimate Team for a new game mode. I don't think Winter Classic will be the BIG thing. Hopefully that is reserved to an actual online hockey franchise that is not HUT.Comment

Re: First NHL 12 Screenshot Revealed, What Differences Do You See?
There's way too much overreacting in this thread.
It's the first screenshot/piece of info. We can't wait until more info comes out before we start saying the Winter Classic is "the BIG feature" (which I would guarantee that it isn't)?Originally posted by bradtxmaleI like 6 inches.
