NHL 12 Video - San Jose Sharks Home Game Intro

[BlueNGold]

That was awesome.

Brings back some of the actually good memories from EA NHL last gen (there weren't too many after NHL 04, lol). Speaking of which, I doubt they have it this year, but I'd love to see the cutscenes NHL 05 had in Dynasty in NHL 12's Be A GM. Things like conference and Stanley Cup banners being raised, awards being presented to a player, injured players in the tunnel with a suit on, etc.

I don't know about every team but I know they said they have other entrances like the Oilers coming out of the oil rig. I'm guessing the Predators one as well.

yeah, i wonder if those tunnels will still be correct during gameplay.

also, it seems they have a lot of teams on wrong bench the past 2 years. Pens being one of them. they had it right from 07 to 09, then 10 and 11 it was wrong.

Predictions? What's the next intro video?

I say Detroit.

eh, it's cool the first time you play but really, how many games do you sit through the intro, I always skip them.

That's what the music editor is for. But yea, looking good EA. keep it up!

The thing that would make intro's fun and unique would be to let the user have control over it. The user should be able to control the players as they warm up.

They come out onto the ice, and you can skate in circles with the team. Then the team starts taking shots on goal, then 2-on-1's, everything the teams do. Players stretching, flipping pucks into the stands. Some players should have helmets on, others should not. Now that, I would not skip.

I bet this idea doesn't get much of a look because producers probably feel everyone would skip it. Even so, it's still a fun idea. I used to really enjoy being able to control the lay-up lines in College Hoops.
