Yeah, this blows last year's announcement completely out of the water. Last year all we got was a screenshot of a goalie collision happening in the Winter Classic and a video of Rammer talking about those features. This year it looks like they're going balls to the wall. I love it.

I mean honestly I would have been happy with just an announcement of the skating upgrade today but to throw in Online GM mode, a new AI system, etc, etc is just awesome.

Seriously. When are they going to realize what a goldmine idea this would be. Take the old assets, use the current teams/players (licensing), and spend a few weeks figuring out online play. $10 ($5 would be even better and sell more). Cash checks. Done.

agreed.

we all obviously have been wanting an online GM mode for sometime now, but my buds and i have been talking about it even more as of late. just the ability to play in an organized league, against friends, and the cpu, just like NCAA football is heaven for us hockey guys. even if the game still has issues like we have seen the past 5 years, we look past it to play a mode like this. just to bs hockey, sports, etc.

for real. they are all about DLC, this should be a slam dunk decision on their end!!

Kind of disappointed with the lack of EASHL improvements.

Fans of the franchise can expect several other improvements and innovations in NHL 13, such as: Team-First Presentation, which customizes your NHL 13 experience based on your favorite NHL team The addition of Customizable EA SPORTS Hockey IQ allowing players to create and record their own player and team strategies to a level never before seen in the franchise. Improvements to core offline and online modes, including Hockey Ultimate Team, Be a Pro, EA SPORTS Hockey League, a refined on-ice presentation, and more.

Hopefully we get some good Be A GM improvements as well other than the addition of online.
