Hitting still looks juiced this year. In that one sequence Grabner and McDonald each knocked their man to the ice.

I don't like the "push the puck" animation. It's like the puck is on a string.

Other than that, it looked pretty good.

Default sliders, setting hitting lower doesn't produce those kinds of hits.

While the skating looks a lot better I'm not really excited about the players skating backwards so often and well while in the offensive zone with the puck. Looks a little figure skating-esque to me,

That being said, having the slot be more effective while making that area harder to attain is something I've been wanting for years. Add in more effective defenders (hopefully based on ratings mainly) and I'm pretty well stoked for this game....good job so far EA.

Don't like the skating backwards. How often do you see a hockey player peel out of a down low position in the offensive zone by skating backwards and out toward the slot while maintaining control of the puck? While other aspects of the skating look good, the backward skating ability with the puck is silly.

What do you mean?

I am very excited about the fact that Sean says that the there are more loose pucks twice. Very, very excited about that. Hopefully it holds true. One thing I don't like it the excessive back skating. Its done at times when it never happens in the real NHL, perhaps its just the users doing it.

I mean in the sense of CPU AI gap control. Even on default sliders the AI was doing proper back checks and taking away pucks at center ice and the blue line. Bump that up to SS and it theoretically should be harder to gain the offense zone cleanly without having to dump and forecheck.

Re: NHL 13 Video - Defensive Gameplay

I liked a lot of what I saw.
The only thing that still bothers me is the passing accuracy. 1/3 way through the video Edler makes a perfect, 2-line, tape-to-tape, blind, backhand pass to a streaking Kessler.
I'm hoping it's because it's on Pro and sliders will take care of something like that.

But the good outweighed the bad in what was highlighted.
