So NHL 13 ... for those who've played the demo.

Is it the best one yet?

Just spitballing here, so I might be out in left field...

But has anyone tried using two controllers - set up the pre-game line adjustments (clicking down the right thumb stick in the select lines menu). Put the other team's adjustments to make their defense more stout - then in the controller settings just put it back in the middle so it's you vs. the cpu.

Didn't know if this was possible or even worth a try or look. Will admit that gaining the offensive zone is still too easy, but maybe we have a potential fix for this? Don't know...

Thanks, that helps with the configuration issues I had with this camera!

Honestly, and as much as I'm called a shill or whatever so take it for what it's worth, it's the best hockey game I've played, it trumps 2k3 for me and really to me that game was the standard for what a great hockey game could be for a good decade or so.

Hands down. Good luck trying to go back to older versions.

Here are my thoughts:

Love the skating physics and the game looks great graphic wise. I've played 15 Play Now and Moments games combined and I haven't been able to score a single goal and I've oinly won 1 faceoff. It's really frustrating because the CPU is completely dominating me on shots. As for goals, I've tried everything, but the CPU goalie is like a wall. However, when I make a mistake defensively, the AI flies in my zone with almost perfect passing tape to tape and scores goals easily.

I play on Pro and I'm not looking to win every game. But I would like to be challenged fairly. I know I need to play more and try new ways to score, but not being able to score is frustrating. Hopefully the sliders will make NHL 13 more to my playing style.

I love it except on the rush my team wont stay in the passing lanes. also, i suck lol. if i was a hockey fan i would definitely buy

Realm and I were just talking about this via PM, and does anyone else feel that the Loose Puck Chop would've been better situated on the RS as opposed to the LS? Maybe something like holding R1/RB and quickly flicking the RS from one side to the other (i.e. left->right or down->up)? It still seems very awkward to have it mapped to the stick that's promoted as "controlling the players skates", even after multiple games.
