NHL 12 Video - Be a Pro Revamped

[JezFranco]

As a european player, I must say that an addition for us would be the option to not start in the CHL but in one of the many european leagues that's in the game already.

Because to be honest, I'm a BaP lover, I played sooo much BaP on 09 & 10, but on NHL11 I never even tried BaP.
I've gotten a bit bored with it, and the addition to start in the CHL meant nothing to me.


But if I could start a carrier in Djurgården... I'd be all over it again.

That's another great point.
What about players that aren't good enough to make an NHL, or even AHL, roster out of junior?
We should have the option of signing in Europe to improve and hopefully get a shot in the NHL.
Or for European players, to play in their leagues and eventually get drafted and make their way to North America.

The NHL is so unique with it's global leagues and appeal. EA needs to fully incorporate that into their games as well.

Another video showing glitch goals, deke an NHL-D-Man out of his skates and wrap-around tactics.

Geez EA, are your entire staff glitchers and cheaters trying to prove something? How bad would it be to show us a BaP like Lucic, speeding near board, and getting to the net while using strenght to get by the D?

Other than that, sorry for not believing what I see before I play the game. BaP was solid last year, but unplayable since AI was so dumb and XP logic poor as hell.

If the AI is like in 11, all these spectacular improvements will be irrelevant.

Well these sizzle videos never really show anything new since there is no actual gameplay, but I do agree that horrible wrap around animation needs to go.

Because Lucic going wide on the D and getting to the net doesn't sell. It's a promo vid, it's supposed to sell. Just as in the real NHL, MOST people (not all) want to see that flashy goal. Flashy sells. Power moves do not. You gotta understand it from a marketing standpoint.

This as well, even online its the same, you play great for the whole entire game but go offsides once or twice or make a bad clear out of your end, and oh hey look teamplay is a c- or worse. The current system is WAY to touchy imo.

Exactly.. and listing exactly what lowers or raises the grade would go a long way. The same with the attributes and the EASHL..
