wow.... i guess you dont have to bump the level to Superstar to have a great defensive AI. hope NHL 13 will be the long awaited NHL game we die-hard, sim gamer, hockey fanatics are waiting for

Wow with every video I just want this game more and more. I can't wait for the demo.

I am very excited that we will see more grinding defencive battles online

WOW... These guys just get it. This game is going to be amazing last year. I was dissapointed in the minor improvements in NHL 12 but it looks to me like they took the last 2 years to build up for NHL 13..

Lol in NHL 12 I have to set it to hardcore superstar to have the AI stop me gaining the blue line with ease, and after that I still get 40 odd shots off.

that looks AMAZING. That is real hockey. Finally a game that embodies the constant frustrating struggle to get a shot off. Hopefully the goalies won't be superhuman.

Better cpu teamate AI, awareness of where the puck is and players are, and a looser puck/easier to bump players off the puck should make for a more sloppy less end to end game.

One thing stood out for me in that the CPU is much more aware on the back check even on default player vs player settings. You bump that up to superstar with slider tweaks for a more sim game and I think you get the idea of where I'm heading with this.

Obviously I still want to play the demo but I'm optimistic.

I don't want to get too far ahead here, but this year looks like they have added, adjusted, changed and tweaked a TON in the game.

I know it won't be perfect and there will be flaws, but I don't think there can be any doubt about the work put in this year.
