The skating/momentum looks like it will be good for both forwards and Dmen.

I`m not very excited about what I saw of the goalies though.

There was a few good things about the goalies,.. better? AI ,more (AI only?) save animations,...

I saw some of the same old garbage......the 1950`s upright post hug was being used like it was 1950,...not 2012,where nobody uses it.

Every time the goalie went to the post hug,it was this move.

Why aren`t the modern ones in the game given the highest priority over this sad exploit riddled stance?

The same with the VH looking like the same unrealistic movements,...going from post to post and switching legs......something you can`t even do in the real world,especially at the speed they let you do it in the game.

Plus,they leave the post too early from this stance,which I explain an instance below.

I didn`t see the paddle down being used by the goalie in the actual practice ice footage.(...as is what I`m using to base the other comments on too.)
The Stamkos part of cutting to the net,....he cuts to the net,and is in tight to the right post,...and the goalie not only doesn`t poke check,which would have ended it right there,(paddle down poke check to be specific.)....but not only didn`t he poke check,....he left the post too early.
Stamkos isn`t even at the net ,he`s almost halfway to the corner and the goalie should NOT be leaving the post that early.

1. It's still alpha. 2. All your complaints will most likely be tuned. Holy negative nancy batman.

Well if they want an "authentic" hockey game, they are gonna have to learn how to not always cater to the children with ADD.

if they want to really speed things up, they could get rid of all replays that are not goals in online modes. also get rid of the 30 second intermissions.

then they could add getting kicked out of faceoffs!! by removing the above and adding this it would even out time wise.

one way of saying sorry that they cheated and stole our $60 for a piece of crap??? LOL.

im happy with what im hearing. but then again, i will be cautious this year's version. knowing EA.... i'll wait for the released product and rent it. if i like it and its really worth my $60+ dollars, sure i'll buy it.

my cousin who used to work at EA always give me EA products at employee price..C$ 20.00. until he was pirate out by another company and moved out from BC. sigh!!!

same goes for incidental player contact, he said it can be done, but makes the game sloppy. um hello, hockey is a sloppy game a lot of the times. again, have this for offline guys and off for online until you tune it correct.

Agree 100%.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but did anyone notice the new camera inside the net? Awesome detail.

Unfortunately that's a majority of their market.

I believe the exact quote was, "We spent more time working on AI this year than we did in the three previous years combined."

Bingo.

If they want to speed up the online experience, all they have to do is take out those annoying cut-scenes that pop up after every single stoppage in play.

Also, they should completely disable pausing during online games. Imagine if in a game like Call of Duty or Halo, the entire session came to a halt and just stopped for everyone because one guy hits pause; there would be riots online!

Re: NHL 13 Webcast Starting Now, Post Your Thoughts Here

And dear god I hope they get rid of that ridiculous "double ping" noise off the pipe.

It seemed like every other goal that went in off the pipe, it made a sound like it hit off two pipes even though it didn't. Just one of those things that annoyed me about the game, lol.

Also, I think in general the ping of the puck off the pipe shouldn't be as loud as it is.

Re: NHL 13 Webcast Starting Now, Post Your Thoughts Here

I like what I saw for sure, can't wait to see a game in play.

It's going to look totally different as far as gameplay is concerned and the up and down play should be less.

If we are going to nit pick little details like this (which of course I dont mind) then I, for one hope that they add more realistic puck carombs inside the back of the net instead of the same silly air hockey pucks floats when you score all the time....how about some nasty looking puck rattles and carombs back out onto the ice when you you rip one into the back of the net with authority!?

And btw, did any of the EA designers finally mention that you will be able to jump in and PLAY ANY matchup in your Franchise/GM Mode?.....I would like a bit more SANDBOX more options to control when playing franchise mode so I can more taylor my careers more to my playing style. I would like the option of being to play out the Stanley Cup Playoff matchups other than just my own team at times.

Like options to have control of all team's rosters, line edits, trade overrides, editable player ratings, Play any game, etc. Of course make these toggle ON/OFF options under GM FRANCHISE Settings so those of us that want to play can control how much control they want over their entire League.....No?

I'll be happy if that's the case. The fact that they showed an instance where the AI defender stood someone up at the blue line is promising. I just hope this translates into the full game where these strategy settings accurately make each team play as they should rather than every game and every player feeling pretty much the same for the most part.

There's no pausing in FIFA 12's online play at all. If you hit start, it pauses it for you and no one else. Don't know why NHL hasn't adopted this yet.
