New Official NHL 13 Thread


Erik Karlsson

Recommended Posts

Started a new fantasy draft with the Canucks. My offense is ridculous:

Sharp - Malkin - B. Richards

Semin - Grabovski - Riberio (this line has some serious hands)

Malone - Horcoff - Selanne

Torres - Malhotra - Cooke

Green - Pronger

Ehrhoff - Seidenberg

Visnovsky - Timonen

Smith

AHL notables:

Yakupov

Rattie

Jensen

Kassian

Murray

G. Reinhart

EDIT: I had to turn CPU trading off due to the unrealisticness of the trades. Like really, Eric Tangradi and a 3rd should not come close to getting a 1st.

October Title Update

Date: TBA October

Notes:

NHL 13 Patch

Gameplay Updates

• Separated ability for backwards to forwards pivot for ‘with puck’ and ‘without puck’ and made it quicker to pivot without the puck.

• Poke checking – fixed bug causing players to always miss to the same side of the puck.

• Goalies will be more aware of shots right off a faceoff in the offensive zone.

• Goalies will have a harder time dealing with screens.

• Ability to tune shooting back against the grain so it can be less accurate/effective than shooting with your weight behind the shot and moving towards your shooting direction.

• Ability for players to be more susceptible to lose the puck when getting hit while skating backwards with the puck at speed.

• Prevented desperation shots from knocking the puck away from the goalie minimizing the strategy of diving at the goalie to knock the puck loose.

• Fixed shootout logic in GM Connected to include both locked and unlocked users.

• Allowed BAP games to resume from simulation in the middle of a shift (fixed crash when sim intervening).

• Fixed goals screening goalie stat.

• Goalie has a better chance of squaring up to shots from far out.

• Improved orientation of off-puck players in one-timer situations.

Vanek - Bergeron - Horton

Hartnell - Gretzky - Backes

Simmonds - Stoll - Williams

Bolland - Laich - Boedker

Hamhuis - Letang

Del Zotto - Staal

Bouwmeester - Carlson

Backstrom

Bernier

Pulled Bobby Ryan, Sam Gagner and Stephen Weiss out of packs today. Yesterday I picked up Brooks Laich as well as Backes, so now my team looks like this:

Vanek - Bergeron - Horton

Backes - Gretzky - Ryan

Hartnell - Weiss - Simmonds

Gagner - Laich - Boedker

Defense and goalies are still the same.
