NHL12 had some good things and bad things. Overall, I thought NHL11 was better. I recently got NHL09 for my PC and I can tell you the leap from NHL09 to NHL11/12 is unreal. If you haven't played the series in a while, I would recommend it.

Most of my gripes are just little things that are messed up in a small window of development, but playing a game a few years old has shown me this game has come a very long way for the best.

Funny, I loved 10, thought 11 was a step back in many ways, and 12 was pretty good. In many ways, 10 is still my favorite, though I do still play 12. I don't even have 11 anymore.

NHL 09 is still my favorite EA hockey game from this generation because it was the last version to not have any DLC player boosts, plus it had the correct 4 vs. 4 OT and shootout rules during OTP and EASHL games.

Since there were no attribute boosts back then, you couldn't get a bunch of your player ratings up to 99 like you've been able to since NHL 10.

The game played so much better online when everyone was stuck with realistic player ratings.

can't argue with that at all. the EASHL has been the source of so much pleasure and anguish with this series since its inception. love it, but hate all the cheesing little glitchers. we have to sit there and scout to make sure we don't play teams with those 50% shooting percentage douches. infuriating.

Ha. I forgot about this ridiculous schedule thing. I hope this got addressed.
