NHL12 should win the award for "most dramatic trailer music."

Awesome video. I like the changes, though I can't see myself wanting to play four full seasons in the CHL.

Yeah I hope they have an option for a shorter development. Although it will be nice to skip play between your shifts and should save a bunch of time.

Debbie Downer coming at you, but that video showed me very little of what's been improved.
So now I can play a full career in the CHL (which I love).
I also can't dictate my ice-time (another great feature).
But I knew both of those things a month ago.

I want to hear how things have changed off the ice. Can I demand trades? Can I control press conferences (ala NBA2K11).
Are there any life choices I can make?
Will coaches demands be realistic?

There are a tonne of games that have very deep and satisfying career modes. BAP in the NHL series has been well behind all of them.

Please EA, show me some depth. Show me that after 3 years of the mode, you have more than 'earn ice time' and 'play more in the CHL'.

Looks awesome! Never played a second on Be a Pro but this vid makes me want to try it. But....will the gameplay be on the same level?

I'm not a huge hockey fan but I love the NHL series. How long are CHL seasons?

[SGMRock]

I think that this game and FIFA have the best "be a pro" type modes today. NCAA RTG seems like its only geared toward a couple of positions and the same for Maddens Superstar mode.

Anyone else laugh at the player's name? Ahhhh, don't we all remember the storied career of "NHL" -- the man with the 3 initial last name who could only be groomed to do one thing: play in the NHL.
