The game is great, for some reason ps3 version looks blurry. Is this happening on 360 as well, or just ps3.

You could try the NHL moments mode. It keeps going until you score. I got three periods out of it during one play through.

Shame that moments live is stuck to pro.

I didn't notice any blurriness on the 360 version.

No, you can change the difficulty in the "my NHL 13" and it carries over. I'm pretty sure it did anyway.

Didn't seem to, at least in the one time I tried it, had already set difficulty to SS in the options.

Two areas that have always needed some improvement and which seem apparent in the demo are:

- the AI taking hardly any penalties...granted we can't tweak the sliders in the demo but watching AI v AI I'm hardly seeing any penalties, which is a concern (all-star, hardcore)....over about 25 games I've seen approx 5 penalties.

- Again, fighting, nothing in AI v AI mode - again I appreciate the slider cannot be adjusted but this hasn't existed in this mode for the past 3 iterations of the NHL series.

Whilst I appreciate the sliders can always be "upped" in the retail version, I thought I'd post this here so that maybe EA can look into tuning these areas perhaps prior to the retail version hitting the shelves - as per EA_Noun's suggestion earlier.

On the plus side:
Love the new broadcast angle
Game speed seems realistic
Impressive goalie animations

Thanks
