The upgrade is complete, but you've probably noticed the forums are only showing posts up to about April 8. Posts made after that are still in the process of being moved over, and that should take another week or two. Feel free to start a new thread.
The site might feel a little slow while work continues. Engineers are staying on it through the night to get things moving faster again. Thanks for your patience.
Hopefully the MAJOR announcment is Online Franchise mode
Like I said, all the catering to casuals first bugs me.
If they do this they better impliment multi team offline Be A GM. I've been hoping for this ever since GM has been a part of the game. Every other major sports title has this, why can't NHL?
I just hope we get new commentators. Getting boring listening to Thorne and Clemente over and over with the same boring bs for 3+ years now. Just give us something new. Would be nice with Joe Beninati imo... or even Jim Hughson back would be an improvement.

I'll buy this day 1, but that video was almost as underwhelming as the screenshot released...
I like the fighting for position in the crease, that's a good addition and "everything is live" hopefully means sticks interact with everything when you are carrying them so you can't dangle thru people's limbs anymore. Goalies can't be any worse than NHL11 so any improvement is appreciated.
All of those things sound like nice additions but will mean absolutely nothing unless is hitting is drastically toned down. All the hitting and focus on contact is almost insulting to fans of the sport. I'm afraid nothing is gonna change from NHL11, EA is gonna leave hitting as it is to show off their "real physics" and "player size matters now" bullet points on the back of the box.

I hope it is possible to play GM mode with all team together like MLB the show. Draft classes must be better or the should allow to import like NHL2k. Signing a Player should be easier Turris wants 5.2 Mill for 6 years, why I can give him not a offer for 3-4 mill for 2 years. Whats is with Calgary - Montreal Heritage Classic.
Roster exchange for PS3, too.
Leave it to Fiddy to point out the obvious: Goalie fights were in NHL 2004! First time ever? That statement alone has me worried. How do you not know the history of your own franchise?
Other than that gross oversight, the presentation fixes sound nice. I'll be interested to see how it plays, though. Being the hockey fanatic that I am, I will buy it on launch day to find out.
The Amaizen Blue is absolutely right, lol. Holmer had to set a record for most waved off goals in one season this past season. I wish they kept that stat!

Pretty cool features...oh wait, I was reading the back of my NHL 2004 box.
Nothing really earth-shattering for me in this news...one can only hope the helmet-popping, glass-shattering action is done in moderation.
"And by the way, you know, when you're telling these little stories? Here's a good idea - have a POINT. It makes it SO much more interesting for the listener!"

C'mon, everyone knows they mean first time ever on the 360/PS3! Last gen doesn't count folks, not to them at least.

Like most of you, i thought the video was underwhleming. Didn't like much of what I saw except for maybe the crease battles. Otherwise, not much there to be excited about.
