No "jump out of your seat" type of excitement. i love hockey, so i'll probably end up buying this game because i'm a sucker for sports games. but i expected to be more overwhelmed, and with the disconnectedness of the commentary (and same old stuff) it just doesn't feel all that fun... kinda like what NHL 11 would have felt like with another patch and tuner...

im glad you said it, bc if i did, i would have been hammered for saying EA doesnt care about the product (even though i didnt actually say it, they assume) etc and that its basically the same game we have been playing for years..

again, while i like the demo, has a small different feel to it.. cant wait to see what the full game offers.. but i figure after a few weeks, it will feel the same as past few years.

EA stated before, they thought about that, but they want people to keep the play moving etc. thats for the casual fans etc, maybe an option for that for us hardcore guys? bc even with slider at 0, whistle doesnt come fast enough IMO..

funny reading through all these, while most are some what pleased in general, seems like a lot of casual guys dont like it, bc it feels to similar to the previous games, 10 and 11..
