Canuck919191 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 It's not overpowered, it just makes sense now. Having sticks in lanes can actually prevent things now, so it will be harder for teams who just power pass a cross crease goal through a bunch of people. That makes no sense. If I'm in the lane to intercept the pass, I should. People who are good at poke checking should get that benefit. In NHL 12 it's pretty ineffective but you can do it if you get it right. Even then though, sometimes it doesn't work when it should. You can be poke checking and the guy in front of you will be deking through your stick with his. Sticks shouldn't go through sticks.

I used to think it was crappy, but I'm getting used to it. It's different, which is better. For years now the skating has looked the same and they made little minor tweaks. It needed a change up.

DollarAndADream Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 You mean you're visually getting use to it? It honestly looks like a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckRow Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 The game is the exact same. I was playing NHL 10 yesterday at my buddies and I realized how 12 is really not all that different. So many things need improving throughout the game but it improves so slowly. Such a cash grab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
250Integra Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Well if they're trying to simulate how the people who will be playing the game will skate, they are doing a good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jägermeister Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 The thing is, this is going to cause so many problems. People already complain about people holding onto the puck and skating around aimlessly (especially backwards from one end to the other) to waste time. Pretty much EA gave the trollers a more advanced way to do this now, and the glitchers more possibilities to score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
250Integra Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Dude, if you can't stop people from skating around aimlessly you obviously just aren't very good at the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck919191 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 What's wrong with the skating is that it's way to easy to skate backwards and in circles and stuff, it doesn't even make sense. Look at Vrbata at 2:55 of the video above... lol like what the hell is that. Carter @ 0:53... unless your name is Patrick Kane or Martin St. Louis, nobody really does that IRL. And there's way too much of that new *push the puck in front and skate fast* animation. I mean, the D-man was doing it while skating down from the point with the puck lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beluga Whale Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 So glad they put an end to the infamous cross crease pass, but the backwards skating, and the fact that it seems players can almost instantly start skating backwards look and bit iffy.
