NHL 13 Demo Video - True Performance Skating Tutorial

Re: NHL 13 Demo Video - True Performance Skating Tutorial

Problem with the "don't play online" argument is that's what the game has been geared towards since the beginning of the EASHL. Comparatively the offline mode additions/improvements have been minimal. So therefore you'd think they'd put a little QA on the online modes that they focus so much on.

To be fair it appears the offline game got quite a ton of love this year across the board. Granted we still need to see how it plays, and it's kinda a shame the sliders are locked for the demo.

We have gotten bits and pieces to GM mode the last couple years, action tracker, UFA/RFA's etc. but I can't disagree the offline modes were a bit neglected with EASHL being their main focus.

Thanks Bro, I wish I had gone, way too many people though from what I saw with the media coverage of it. I settled for a Thorty autograph at a Dick's Sporting Goods promotion when the SC DVD came out.

Right the hell on, I didn't realize you're pretty damn close to where I am too, I'm in Salem, not all that far from Haverhill. We're certainly spoiled having 1 of each major team that for the most part have been pretty damn successful the last decade or so, Pats have what 3? Sox with 2, I think the C's have a couple in there and the Bruins finally ended their drought and still are a contender as far as I'm concerned.

It never ends, people no matter how much something is improved will find something to gripe about.

What never ends is your need to spend half your time on these boards needling and nagging and ragging on people and critiquing their comments. You're like the Sean Avery of the OS Hockey forums.

The puck has been glued to players' sticks in every hockey game ever made. Hard to criticize this series for it when it's standard hockey video game programming.

Between that and the Wild with their 03 playoff run, that's about all we have hockey wise. Those were no question the most happy hockey moments I've ever had as a fan. I ran around the house chaotically when Brunette scored on my idol Patrick Roy. Then you really can't beat the script of the 02 national championship at the X. Sadly those 02 and 03 natty titles from the gophs don't mean squat to me anymore after going to school at St. Cloud State and working for their hockey team.

That '02 team is still my favorite sports team ever. Johnny Pohl, Grant Potulny, Paul Martin, Jordan Leopold, and the list goes on. So much character and finesse. And talk about a stacked blue line, 3 future NHL mainstays.

The '03 team wasn't bad either, adding Thomas Vanek to the mix

Intern: "Hey, don't you guys think that puck looks a bit too magnetized to the stick? Seems pretty obvious to me."

EA Person of Importance: "Apparently you don't know how we do things around here. You're fired."

(Cue the graphic... "EA Sports - It's In The Game")

Well, sorta.....

My cousin played on both of those championship teams

Re: NHL 13 Demo Video - True Performance Skating Tutorial

I wouldn't mind the puck being glued to the stick on vanilla settings... but bumping it to hardcore should result in a loose puck when going top speed, something like the old push puck mechanic.


But I don't know if that causes problems, because it has done so earlier. Using the push puck feature made your player push the puck... then, as someone already mentioned here, kinda slowed you down, because your player went into "recieve the puck animation" when catching up the puck.


Hopefully with the new skating all this should change... I really hope that if I'm going top speed without the puck, and gets a pass, but still pushing full throttle on the left stick that my guy tries to receive the puck a bit uncontrolled, one-handed, or anyway without losing momentum, but at the risk of missing the reception.
If however I want to receive the puck in a more controlled way, let go of the left stick and gliiide. Lose momentum, but control the reception.




Anyway, can't wait until Tuesday.
I've bought every NHL since 07 on PS3, but I've kept my Xbox just for a case like this. NHL demo one day earlier
