Some good comparison video between NHL 11 and NHL 12 presented by Littman. Anticipation AI, physics and goalies are touched on.

Nice find!

I hope the AI really does that. That would make player separation very awesome for me!

This is such a huge upgrade it's not even funny. HUGE. I can't stress that enough. As someone who plays mainly offline and against the computer (and with computer teammates), there's nothing I hate more than when I'm doing a lot of work in the zone with the puck, and my teammates aren't rushing the net or anticipating a pass. It completely halts any play you had in mind. I can't count how many times I've curled around the half-wall with the intentions of hitting my winger driving to an open area in front of the net, and he just stands there.

This might be the number 1 thing I'm excited for. The fact that teammates will even anticipate where the puck will be in the neutral zone and defensive zone is icing on the cake. Outstanding work by them recognizing this and overhauling it. I'm stoked.

Hopefully the AI change holds through. There is nothing I hate more then easily entering the offensive zone against great defensive teams, hell even a not so great team. This could be a heck of a game and a huge change from 11 if the AI is smarter and if each player plays like themselves.

I agree and it's neat to see the two games side by side.

I'm preordering..

Anyone catch the "Chicago Stadium" reference at Center Ice?

Money99 · 07-07-2011, 09:22 PM

Really good stuff. Loved all of it.
Hopefully not all of the players will have the same anticipation though.
