Re: NHL 13 - 30 Details You Need to Know About the Revamped GM Mode

Is this definite? This mode is worthless to me then, I want to have a GM mode where 3 of my friends can come over and we can all control our separate teams with a variable length season, you know like what was done in 2k8. Unbelievable that EA is now up to NHL 13 (FIVE years later) and apparently this still won't be possible, I am guessing with EA's forcing of online mode for everything it never will be.

Well it is, but each person has to have their console, but yeah no variable season length.

if this GM Connected Mode is half as good as what Madden 13 is going to be, we NHL gamers are going to be in for a great year of hockey gaming.

You realize that they delivered what you're asking, just in an online format? I think it's very believable because what GM Connected offers is about 1000x more practical for I'd venture 90% of NHL 13 consumers...

Also, is the 82 game season length only confirmed? I must have missed that if so.

I don't really even understand it. I need to talk to some of my Madden buddies. It's like you can do BAP, offline franchise, online franchise, etc. all in one mode now? And bounce around from option to option? That's pretty cool but I hope the feature doesn't intimidate a lot of the traditional guys who just want to play a normal, robust franchise like we've had in all the other iterations.

its a glorified season mode, can be online and offline. want to play superstar mode style, select any player in league or create one, same goes for coach mode, like NFL Head Coach, select a coach or create one, GM Mode, same as coach, select or create one. or you can do it all, be in control of everything. you can then also select if you want it online or not.

from looks no reason not to have it online if you doing say a 1 person season, you then can follow stats, news, etc online via website or apps.

unlike the NHL, the draft and even fantasy draft is done manually..

like i said before, if we even get a chunk of this stuff in the NHL one we will be in all our glory lol. (if it works right)

but so far, the way you can play is the same in both. pick any player, pick any coach, pick any gm (or create any of the options just mentioned) or be in control of everything.

SO does this mean we will finally be able to play ANY GAME on the schedule in our Franchise (ala Madden, NCAA, and all 2K Sports games) if we want or are we STILL locked down to only playing OUR OWN TEAM's games in GM MODE?


Do we have more sandbox freedom to override trades, adjusts CPU TEAM's Strategies, Lines, etc?

Is the frequent freezing out of this years game? The freezing was an absolute game-breaker for me in 12.
