I went to Futureshop to pick up my pre-ordered copy of NHL 12 today. They told me they don't have any Steel Cases left as they are first come first serve (wtf?!?!)

So I complained about how it's pointless pre-ordering if I'm not guaranteed one and told them how I missed out on other pre-order opportunities that are guaranteed like Bestbuy's and Amazon's deals

They brought the manager out and I said Bestbuy had some 5dollar off thing or something and so he gave me that.

Meh better than nothing.

Anyone else notice the faceoffs are much better(harder) than in 11?

A.I. is soo much better too!

oh and the winter classic is AWESOME!!! much better than 2k's

I'm liking the game so far. This is the only time I've bought an NHL game back to back. Usually I'd wait off until the next year since previous versions would be similar.

The game feels the same yet it's a lot different. Hitting is a lot better, but I do encounter times when it gets buggy and really weird hits occur like the one above.

The battles infront of the goalies are awesome and adds a lot more to the feel of the game. Also having the puck free at all times is a lot better.

If anyone wants to play online some time for the xbox360 add me: forbidden xrd

Anyone down for a REVscene online tourny for the 360? I can even stream the games if you play against me lol.

Low and behold... no Steel Case. I am emailing Future Shop about the issue as I have fulfilled my end of the bargain and they haven't.

The loading time in between menu's is soooo slow.

Loving how everything is club orientated now. Like your points for club and drop ingames are different :DDD

It was like that in NHL 11

hey kinda confused lol

my main objective is to boost my guy up the best, especially when i play pick up games or team play ranked..can i do this by playing Be a Pro mode offline?

last year i did that buy playing alot of ranked team play games. dont want to waste my time playing offline for nothing.

fml occassionaly i'll lose connection to the EA server while in a ultimate hockey league game and then it dcs me ~~ even though there's nothing wrong with the connection ~~~~~ fukkkkkkk

If it's for X360, let me know.

No in NHL11 both your points from drop-in games and club games were counted as one. With NHL12 you got two sets of point totals, one from club games and one from drop-in.

Like last night me and my friends played our first club game and it said I had 0 point.. but in drop-in games I've had about 40 points


&&&&&& I'm down to enter the RS tourny for xbox360, GT: SlurpyMaker :fullofwin:

Ah actualyl you're right. But when you go into your EASHL club in NHL 11 and click on roster, it would show ONLY your club stats and not your drop-in stats as well.

Right forgot about that haha. Either way I love what EA has done to this years game , hope they fix that damn slow ass loading time problem ASAP :(
