Not to be an *** but that's not true by any means. Bumping every single penalty slider in NHL 12 up to full hardly did jack. So unless they made that more effective this year than your statement is not true. We don't know until the full game comes out whether the sliders will actually work properly this year.

Hey, thanks for pointing out that always goal. We've taken a look at it and have addressed it. A fix will be part of the first tuner set released on the same day as the launch.

The demo is a great time for us to discover all of these things, and we'll be able to make changes on going as we lead up to the release.

This is great to see!

A person who "whines" without any supporting facts is a ****. But as we know based on experience in NHL 12, sliders is closed to a FAILURE, from passing, penalties etc. I hope you are right that sliders can fix this..but you're only assuming that it will.

great news. was hoping that sliders was in the game so we know if it will work or not and that EA could fix it and include it in the tuner 1.0. the saddest thing after buying a game is to wait for couple of weeks for the release of a tuner that will correct important points of the game.

Got about 10 periods in before the baby woke up:

Likes:
- Weight is important. I am loving the feel of these players. You can really tell the difference between someone like Elias and Vochenkov.

- Speed: Kovalchuk flies, like he should. This means guys like Crosby, Malkin and Stamkos will fly as well.

To piggyback off of speed: players feel different. Unlike 12 where the only difference between Crosby and Shawn Thornton was laundry, each player feels and handles differently.

- Camera angles/replays: love the goalie cam except for the jaggies. I like the replays this year as well. I also like the angle after you score.

- Goalies: Hard to score, which I love. So far it seems like the cheese goals (wristers to the corners) are gone. The wrap around still works, but not that much.

Dislikes:

- AI seems stupid. Nothing really different from 12. I hope this is changed for EASHL or its another sad year of awful AI defensemen.

- Backwards skating: Honestly I just hate the premise of it.

I'm sure there will be more I can think of. Also, is it me or is it harder to pull off a one timer compared to last year?

Was the penalty slider broken in NHL 12...? I don't recall it being broken. I got numerous penalties with the penalty slider maxed, not sure what your guy's problems are...

People who are whining about not seeing penalties in a 5 minute 3rd period demo... are nuts. What do you guys expect to see in 5 minutes of gameplay? 4 penalties aside? That's 8 minutes of penalties in 5 minutes... If this demo was like Madden, were we had a full game at our disposal, then maybe we would see more penalties, but you're not going to see a sim game in 5 minutes....

That looked damn real! Thanks for posting!!

The name-calling and such on either side of this issue is uncalled for. If you can't state your opinion without feeling the need to throw in an insult then you probably shouldn't post it.
