NHL 13 Teaser - The Next Gameplay Revolution is Coming

[drewst18]

As I posted on the EA forum....

That teaser showed me nothing,.....and wasn`t a teaser at all.

More of an antagonizer than teaser.

It showed some Dman get turned inside out by the incredibly easy to pull off dekes that are present in NHL12 and earlier game versions.

Then we see the goalie get scored on,in a clip of the NHL12 version,...then it ends with .5 seconds of seeing a guy stop and a defenceman pivot,....all in views that aren`t even game play views....and they didn`t show anything "new".

Of course,the koolaid drinkers are in full placebo mode,.....and the mods are dropping hints that it`s a new skating engine.

I`d bet my left nut that if anything,whatever they`ve done to the skating engine will be a huge FAIL,....as will be the whole NHL13 version.

They had more than enough opportunity to even just make some adjustments with NHL12 gameplay,and they refused to even do that,...so,meh,.......I expect more of the same or worse.

oh who invited that guy ^^

Really if your that close minded why even bother watching. Unless Stamkos skates through your TV and invites you to play your not going to be happy.

NHL 12 is one of the few games that I play after 6 months after release date and I can say there are plenty of others who agree.

Its not perfect but its a great game, and you are hating on us for liking it and not being miserable about it.

EA takes a lot of heat but I think they do a pretty good job with NHL. Especially compared to the competition. Which they beat out without the need of a license deal

Does the NHL series even need a new mechanics overhaul? If that's what I think the trailer is implying....

I wish they would spend more time on tuning the sim engine, upgrade be a gm, and have better player face models like the show has. That would be fantastic.

Totally agree. This game has issues & they're not in the gameplay.

i was think skating engine as well..

anything has to be better than the skating engine now, right? i mean the starting and stopping on a dime.

they had it tuned that if you did that you would fall over last year. but to many guys complained about it so they changed it back to normal this year.

Coming in NHL 13: Waggle your stick even more and be even more invincible to stick checks. Score on any A.I. goalie and de-pants any A.I. defenders using this simple set of commands — they're not glitches, folks — they're WOW moments.

Wait, we already had all that?

Er... Uh... Play with occasionally-updated rosters in NHL 13!!

(Rosters may incur additional fees)

Re: NHL 13 Teaser - The Next Gameplay Revolution is Coming

the only thing I can guess is it is the PS Move/ Kinect compatibility.

Gamestop.com originally had their default nhl 13 covers up (with the shadow hockey player) thats up now but the 360 version had the kinect logo and the PS3 one had the move logo up at the top of the box. Those pictures were taken down and replaced with the ones up now that dont feature the logos. I figured maybe they goofed, but it maybe they simply put the wrong ones up too early.

I figured their ad for NHL 13 would be "NHL 13....a game so close to the ice it constantly freezes."

Well since this is the year the physics engine is suppose to be complete, I could see the skating and such getting an overhaul. If so, that and a Presentation overhaul would be fine with me for a year. Then next year focus on an AI overhaul along with adding depth to BAGM. I understand they can't possibly get it all in one year.

You`re spilling your koolaid on me,...so step back.

Ea`s lack of abililty to handle criticism about their shoddy game is as bad as their shoddy game.

I also have no doubt that a licensing deal would be made if someone ever challenges to make a better product,.....which is also likely why there aren`t any current challengers.
It isn`t worth the investment anymore,except by EA,.....and seeing as they have the monopoly now,they get to make a garbage product and laugh all the way to the bank.

Because doing the things they need to do to make the game BETTER all around than last year's, just means two things to them: you become a happy gamer, and they lose your money the following year. Don't be fooled, incremental development (and taking away stuff that works) isn't all about changing technology.

Feel free to present legitimate criticism regarding the game, but check the condescending attitude and hackneyed platitudes at the door.

Re: NHL 13 Teaser - The Next Gameplay Revolution is Coming

I think it's physics-based skating. Look around the :19 second mark.

If so, I'm excited. But it'll mean nothing if the rest of the game isn't up to par and the issues from last year aren't fixed.

Re: NHL 13 Teaser - The Next Gameplay Revolution is Coming

I really hope the physics engine makes large strides this year. Last year was a mis-step, in my opinion. I preferred the body contact in '11 more.

Re: NHL 13 Teaser - The Next Gameplay Revolution is Coming

I'm hoping for "stick physics" or "total stick control."

If your meaning that the sticks wouldn't morph through objects any longer Jyoung...man, I'd love to see that too.

I've thought for quite a while that this alone would change the game very dramatically. And for the better.

However...someone here posted and excerpt of a question and answer thingy from the EA boards about this very thing. And the apparent response from an EA rep was a bit discouraging. The rep...if I was understanding things right, gave off the at least impression to me anyway...that this had been tried.[sticks not morphing] and the rep claimed that it lead to a more frustrating brand of gameplay. Due to Users losing control of the puck far too often. Which kinda sounds like the more sloppy type of play many of us are looking for. So...a bummer if it's very possible to have this kind of stick physic, but they've chose not to implement it.

Again...not sure if I was understanding things right. But this was what I got from the Q and A.

Hopefully some simple additions like:

1. The ability to line match.
2. Players being kicked out of the face off circle.
