goalies still cant stop cross ice one timers -_-

I don't know many goalies in the real NHL that can either. Especially when you have gunners like Stamkos and Odjick.

The "live" goalies seem kind of glitchy.
if your on a break away and run at the goalie you will just go to the side like older nhl games.
it seems you can only run over them after the whistle or brief nudges during play

So Luongo was challenged to a fight.... of course I dropped the gloves - can't remember who I fought. Needless to say, I didn't win.

"Where are your tires, Bobby? I want to pump them WITH MY FISTS."

quote from puckdaddy.. LAWLS

Its just too easy to score on goalies like it was on nhl 11
Time for some 10-20 goal online games I guess

bodychecking
body check guys into benches (dont care for it)
canucks d men dont join offensive play (really pisses me off)
live goalies, who cares

i wouldnt buy this game, but i will anyways because of legends mode

Damn Tim Thomas looks young in this game lol

Don't know how your playing but canucks d men are always on the line and I like how the more "offensive" minded players are deeper in the offensive zone

when is the release date?

September 13th

So are the jets in this one or no? No one mentioned

I feel sorry for anyone paying $60 for this game. This is the most half-assed NHL game yet. The legends team isn't even interesting to play as at all. All they did was put whatever legends they could get then threw in players with the highest ratings to fill in the rest of the slots. Luongo backing up Patrick Roy = lulz. NBA 2k does it a million times better by putting in the ACTUAL classic teams.

I love how after a big hit or nice deke the commentators say "we'll all be watching that on the NHL network this week" then in the replay cutscene seconds later it'll just show some random hit. The hitting physics are screwed up Presentation is still complete garbage. Same lines. Same cutscenes you'll never want to watch. Same crappy replays that don't even show the play developing.

NBA 2k games shit all over EA's garbage. Too bad they can't make a good 2k hockey game.

Edit: seriously, just compare NBA 2k12's "be a player" mode compared to NHL https://www.facebook.com/note.php?no...50285386202267

not being a fanboy

but the 2k series SUCKS.
seems like you like cut scenes and such instead of gameplay.

If you think NBA 2k11 sucked then you need help.

There's nothing to talk about in gameplay because it's nearly the exact same game (which I have no problem with). But NHL 12's "gameplay tweaks" themselves are not worth another $60. They already have the core gameplay down so they should be adding depth to the modes. Be A GM Mode is still stupid as hell and is literally untouched. Instead of improving things that need improving (LIKE PRESENTATION/DEPTH) they add stupid gimmicks like checking people through glass (does that even happen in real life anymore?). Winter Classic was a waste of time adding. Who's ever going to play this after trying it once?
