NHL 13 Gameplay Video

[savoie2006]

I'm not worried, because it was two human players that didn't look like they really knew how to play. Therefore the AI couldn't really shine, plus they were probably playing on Default settings which is usually Pro. What I saw in the IQ vid was encouraging though.

Ahh guys I see this every year. Don't let the fact that you're really amped for a new hockey game confuse you into thinking this game is going to be a huge change.

The magnetized passes are a MUST FIX. Passing is probably the most important feat in a hockey game, besides goalies, IMO.

The passing, in this video, looks no where near realistic by any means. Hopefully this video causes enough uproar to the point where EA realizes this, and can make some adjustments.

I see no stick handling when players have the puck. It's more so just stuck onto their stick until another player interferes with them.

If passing is adjusted, I will definitely buy, and play the hell out of the game, but skating really doesn't mean much if passing is like that.

Also, hopefully this is just because it's a demo, but I saw that this was in the Stanley Cup Finals (patches + ice logos) but I didn't see the fans reacting or carrying their towels like it was a Stanley Cup game.

You know it amazes me every year that we're lucky enough to see E3 build footage and people feel the need to tear it apart thinking it's using sim sliders and final code. Just truly face palm inducing.

I'm not going to pick it apart.. but I do hope that was a really early build of the game.

Wasn't what I had expected, that's for sure.

I don't know what everyone was expecting. It was 2 humans playing and neither was very good. The neutral zone play looked good and the Zajac goal looked awesome.

Overall I don't know why people are upset.

I can't wait. Looks awesome

Nothing over the top. And they're gonna want to do away with this camera angle during this goal celebration:

I don't really know what to say by looking at this video. It's kind of take it the way you want. The two guys playing were horrendous so that kind of ruined it for me. I wish it would have just been CPU vs. CPU or User vs. CPU so we could see the AI in action. Thanks for sharing this though Savoie. I guess it's at least a little something to see what it looks like. I don't think I'm going to think too much into this video.
