This makes me wonder how people thought pre-NHL 13 EA Sports Hockey games were realistic. They didn't even follow the laws of Momentum or Physics in general. I for one am glad this game has Momentum...1 step closer to realism.

Love how the defender skating backwards can no longer stay with you like a damn shadow!

I've watched these vids five times already, lol!

Judging by video #2, it looks like they fixed the Predators' jerseys this year. The blue is finally the correct navy shade instead of the royal blue they've got in NHL 12.

Just the new animations alone improve their skating never mind adding in momentum.
Just look at the preds defensemens transitions from forward to backwards its dead on.
So i think that alone is gonna help 13 big time and with all that momentum and AI gravy poured on top and the Kings in the cup Finals whats not to like

Finally players like Kreider, Hagelin and GABs will be noticeably different than Penner, Pronger, and Chara. This is very promising.

Not exactly.
It seems like they've kind of taken a bit of a page from the FIFA book.
In FIFA you can jog with your player, but when you hold the right trigger you full on run with the ball. The downside to this is that you're moving the ball further in front of you, and you can't make quick turns, or stops.
NHL 12 didn't have that, but with 13 it looks like it will.
You can go full out, but you risk losing the ability to shoot accurately, and make tighter turns.
Also, that first bit of speed will help a lot for playmakers.
Guys like Andy McDonald (I'm a Blues fan, so i will stick to what i know) make their living on the Power Play with moves like that. He's so good at getting into the corners, or behind the net, and using his small size, and quick feet to get himself open on the ice and draw defenders to him.
Those small touches will really help elevate players, and go that much further towards making the game realistic.

I didn't play '12 this year but it looks like this game is set up to be pretty darn good compared to my NHL '11, So I'm excited!

Very impressed. Haven't purchased a hockey since the 90's. Hopefully they can introduce this technology into a certain NFL game. I will definitely be following this game though. Never thought I would say that about a hockey game again.
