NHL 13 Season Ticket Impressions

[Majingir]

I got bored of just leaving the game to sim(since it'll take maybe 20-30 minutes to sim a season since it takes almost 5 mins per month)

Based on Be a GM mode after november....


Trades I saw in Be a GM:
Ducks get Curt Gogol and Sena Acolatse for Jason Blake
Pens get Salvador for B.Johnson and Payerl
Bruins get Visnovsky for a 1st and Sauve
Flyers get Kuba for a 1st
Sharks get Elias and Brodeur for a 1st pick
Sharks get Langkow for Doherty and Reid
Flyers get Doan for Ranford and E.Wellwood
Wild get Spacek for Cuma and Hackett
Wings get Iginla for a 1st and M.Callahan
Sabres get Selanne and Koivu for Armia and Catenacci

Stats:
Ovechkin leads with 20 goals(in 24 games)
Kovy is 2nd wth 18 goals in 21 games
Grabner is 3rd with 13 goals in 23 games
Okposo is 4th with 12 goals in 23 games

Semin leads with 19 assists in 24 games
Spezza is 2nd with 17 assists in 23 games
Zajac/Parise are tied for 3rd with 16 assists in 21 games

Ovechkin leads with 34 points
Spezza is 2nd with 28 points
Parise is 3rd with 26 points
Semin is 4th with 25 points

Subban leads in PIM with 48
McQuaid is 2nd with 45
Perry is 3rd with 44

Alzner is leading dman with +/- of +16

Hedman leads with 86 hits in 21 games

DiPietro leads all goalies with 1.63GAA in 14 games played(and also leads with .944 sv%)
Mason 2nd with 1.80GAA in 13 games

Based on averages, seems like after 2 months, most goalies have played around 18 games.

Just a few quick random notes (haven't played a game yet):

- There is a tuner update already. I'm not touching this until we see what it addresses.

- There is a roster update available and moves like the Nash trade have been addressed in it.

- The music is annoying already

You signed on PSN already while playing the game? Did you enter a code or anything?

Oilers still have their custom intro, however their bench is on the wrong side of the ice in true broadcast cam. I figured this was going to be the case. I guess arenas haven't really had much work done to them after all.

I was signed in already when I booted up the game. All seems well?

If I remember correctly that tuner set should address the "backward skating for an almost automatic goal" issue...at least that's what we were told after the demo came out and videos were shown to the devs

One game in, Pro difficulty, default sliders, Ice cam:

- Hitting felt a little toned down from the demo?

- The real faces that are in the game are vastly improved and look FANTASTIC. Still a lot of players without proper faces however.

- Penalties are about what Majingir mentioned, I had 2 and the CPU had one.

- Liked the goal variety a lot.

- Could see goalies getting a little repetitive, noticed a lot of the same glove attempts.

Was all this with the patch or without?
