NHL 12 Video - All-New Goalie Interactions

[Scottdau]

^^ Agree, one thing I don't like is the puck. It doesn't have enough weight to it in my opinion. I don't like the tape to tape passes. I also I am not a big of the shooting animation. I will wait until the demo comes out, but it looks like the same game as last year. I do like the player faces and the player models.

Well based on what I've seen, the game still looks too north/south wide open hockey. I haven't seen much setting up in front of the net, though that probably has to do more with the way whats his face was playing. None the less, at this point, it looks like I may be just buying NHL 11 again and sticking with it, unless there are some serious improvements to BAGM and the sim engine proves to be alot better.

That aspect looked pretty good to me starting at :45. Both Crosby and Dupuis set up in front, then Kunitz trades places with Crosby in front of the net.

the WHOLE ICE is empty during fights. It looks rediculous.

wow it's like any other fight in the game but it's the goalies. Hopefully some more huge announcements are coming soon. Maybe something to do with the super stale franchise GM mode.

IrishSniper over on hfboards [went to the community event] and spent a lot of time looking at NHL 12's Be a GM mode, all he could tease us with right now was that EA has addressed NHL 11's be a gm bugs and that we will be happy with it (adding that it has been revamped)

Frame rate reasons. Blame MS and Sony for being cheapskates when it comes to the amount of ram in their consoles.
