THE OFFICIAL NHL 13 THREAD

I cant believe the number of times my player gets glued to another person in front of the net. The puck will go into the corner, im facing the puck with a defender on my back, but It takes me 5 seconds to release from the "battle" in front of the net, so I can't get the puck. So annoying!! This better change

I've been saying this for the longest time. EA needs to incorporate TEAM celebrations.

I don't like scoring a goal in EASHL and only I can celebrate while my teammates mindlessly raise their arms in the air, slowly creeping their way towards me. Team celebrations (hugs, high-fives, etc) should be added.

Seriously whats the point of those 2 videos? They just show us a couple things they had in previous games. They already told us they would be incorporating something new every year in their plan.

True Performance Skating - A game-changing innovation for the franchise that adds physics-driven skating and over 1000 new animations. True Performance Skating authentically replicates the explosiveness, momentum and top end speed displayed by today’s NHL players. True Performance Skating combined with the Skill Stick, finally gives gamers access to the entire toolset of an NHL player, delivering unprecedented control and unlocking a level of creativity never before possible in a hockey videogame.

EA SPORTS Hockey I.Q. — An innovative new A.I. system that governs the behaviors of players, goalies and team systems. In previous NHL games, players were only aware of skaters in their immediate proximity and goalies could only react to the player in control of the puck. With EA SPORTS Hockey I.Q., all players are now fully aware of every other player on the ice, resulting in quicker, smarter and more true-to-life decision-making. EA SPORTS Hockey IQ also delivers the deepest and most customizable set of real-world hockey systems and strategies ever for the franchise.

GM Connected — The ultimate fantasy league with friends. GM Connected takes the franchise’s most popular offline mode, Be a GM, and allows you to play with and against your friends in your own 30-team NHL. Whether you are a hardcore sports gamer or a hockey fan that moonlights as an armchair general manager, the mode offers unrivaled accessibility and depth by allowing players to manage, play or coach on the road to building your team’s legacy. GM’s can also take their experience with them with a mobile companion app, ensuring that they never miss a single moment.

NHL Moments Live — Rewrite or relive history as you replay some of the most thrilling moments from today’s NHL. NHL 13 evolves the concept introduced by other sports games, introducing each scenario with real-world NHL footage to bring players closer to the intensity of the moment. Moments from the 2011-12 NHL season will ship on disc and new moments from the 2012-13 NHL season will be added as and when available throughout the season.

Team-First Presentation, which customizes your NHL 13 experience based on your favorite NHL team

The addition of Customizable EA SPORTS Hockey IQ allowing players to create and record their own player and team strategies to a level never before seen in the franchise.

EA also announced the collector’s edition of NHL 13 called the Stanley Cup Edition. Here is what the press release says about that:

Looks pretty sweet, I like the idea of the new skating physics. Also, I was wondering when they were going to put in the NHL Live moments.

By the sounds of it, the Special Edition isn't really up my alley, as I never really play HUT, but I like the cover.

Hmm, it sounds alright I guess. Kinda seem's like the same ol' stuff every year?

The new skating engine, didn't they make that a couple years ago? What could they have possibly done differently to advertise this as a game changing feature?

1000 new aminations? Didn't they just add 1000 new animations last year?

EA Sports Hockey IQ? Now I'm almost positive that was added last year, it's not new, you guys made changes to it.

The Be A GM, now that's pretty cool. I myself, and a lot of my friends, have wanted this for awhile. Smart move by EA, this mode is going to get used a ton.

All in all, no matter what I always buy it anyways, hopefully they release more information between now and September with some little things they've added, like contract extensions, line chemistry, bring back the emotional metre or whatever it was.
