Re: NHL 13 Presentation Video and Blog
The United Center is still called "Chicago Stadium." This didin't used to be this way. Every since I can remember they had the license for the United Center. Last year was the first year that they called it Chicago Stadium because apparently they lost the rights. I made a big fuss about this for a while, but got over it eventually.Comment

Re: NHL 13 Presentation Video and Blog
No way I'll be able to play on the broadcast cam. It looks great, and I'm glad the cult of the broadcast cam finally have their moment of salvation, but I can't make it work for me. I've been playing with some version of the "classic" cam/perspective since I was a child. Won't be able to change now.Comment

Re: NHL 13 Presentation Video and Blog
In regards to the arena names, the one thing I wish EA would do is make the generic names at least look like their real-life counterparts. I can't find the thread or the pics to go along with it but I remember seeing some example (somewhere) that had different arena names, like "Boston Arena" written in the TD Garden font. It looked very accurate. Same could be done with Chicago Stadium or New York Arena. At least use the correct font, color, etc. The words United Center is in blue and is almost an arial font in Chicago. In the game Chicago Stadium is in block font and is black. Simple changes like I'm suggesting would make it even less noticeable.
But again, I was very upset about this for a while, then I got over it.Comment

Re: NHL 13 Presentation Video and Blog
That's it.
Notice the center ice text in this video (very poor quality but it was the first one I found that showed it).

Re: NHL 13 Presentation Video and Blog
I can't say for certain about some of the other big items, but it stands to reason things like GM Connected, Hockey IQ, and the skating overhaul were (at least to some degree) developed over more than just the past nine or so months. My theory, and it is very much conjecture, is that they wanted to introduce True Performance Skating for NHL12, but weren't satisfied with it and ultimately decided to hold off on it. They used the same "it will change the way you play the game" line briefly to hype an upcoming announcement, revealing only the legends after that.
Well I didn't know about "True perfromance skating" until they announced it this year, but I've always felt that something was scrapped last year, in the last minute.
Not only was 12 a very small step forwards in terms of... well, everything. But it was also full of unexplainable bugs on things that wasn't broken in 11... like the hip check, penalties and multiple sliders.
Typical signs of last minute decisions and changes in the coding of the final product.
And this give me hopes, that EA C has had some extra time polishing the product this year, since it was almost ready last year.
Thank you EA - This game is officially better than sexComment

Re: NHL 13 Presentation Video and Blog
I always really look forward to NHL's demo. But this year I think may be the most I've looked forward to it.Last edited by Vikes1; 08-10-2012, 03:54 AM.1969 NFL ChampionsComment

Re: NHL 13 Presentation Video and Blog
Man, I finally got around to watching this just now, and it is fantastic! Really looking forward to this game to keep me occupied during those times I have nothing to do on campus this year.
Also, a few of the arenas aren't even budget related. Boston and MSG aren't even in NBA 2K. Soldier Field wasn't correct in Madden until last year as they did not have the rights to make it/name it right. Sometimes they just don't feel like giving out the naming rights. Other times, it is a money thing.Originally posted by BlueNGoldI feel weird for liking a post about exposed penises.Comment

Re: NHL 13 Presentation Video and Blog
haven't gotten EA NHL since 2010, this looks like it will be the most improved game of the year right now. Have to wait to play the actual game, but this looks and sounds like a totally different game from the last one I played. I just hope the player types and attributes play a bigger role than what they have in the past. I don't want Jody Shelly puck handling like Evgeni Malkin, or Marian Gaborik hitting like Dion Phaneuf. If Kaleta gets blown up every other game that would be pretty accurate though. Kidding, Im a fan.Comment
