The graphical upgrade is fairly significant. First time in years!

Holy crap Dean is back on the team. I already feel 10000 times better about NHL 13.

-Really like the new skating, it looks so much better than the last few years. I'm excited to play with some guys who can really fly.

-AI looked smarter in the short clips, hopefully that means we'll actually be able/forced to use dump-and-chase hockey.

-Goaltenders looked a lot better, especially that diving save (that looked just fantastic).

-GM connected looked really cool, like the CO-OP aspect of it even in the single-player GM mode.

Very interested in this creating your own AI feature.

Wish someone had asked if they loosened the play up any by lowering pass %. Unless i missed it?

Good point, the fact that bobbling passes completely disappeared in '12 was a major bummer.

Some other notes:

-- No faceoff kick-outs. They don't want to slow the game down.

-- Being able to hit your own teammate and having unintentional contact without pressing the check button is something they are working on. However, they don't want every player to be "live" on the ice and fair game to be contacted because it makes the game too chaotic.
