NHL 14 Collision Physics Gameplay Trailer

I'm not impressed. How often have EA said something like this and its complete garbage. There are many other problems that needs to be fixed.

Dev Diary:
A new left-stick control scheme makes delivering a game-changing hit simpler and more rewarding than ever. Right-stick hitting controls remain unchanged, but now players can deliver a big hit with only the left stick simply by skating into their opponents with speed.

So I'm thinking hits are done with left stick, while the right stick goes for the bigger hits? Or is RS "manual" hitting? Don't really know how to interpret that...

I don't want my player getting sucked into a hit when I just wanna skate past someone...

I saw the RS part of it. I'm just thinking that it's an option or something. The way it sounds to me is that it's all based on the LS, but there is an option to use the RS as well. I guess I don't know though. It's all confusing. You'd think in the diary they would make this clear considering it's one of their primary features.

Yeah... we'll see.
I wouldn't mind if the RS was like getting an extra 20% of effort or power into the the hit, but at the same time it would risk in a bad timed check, and also increase the risk of a foul play.

That's what I've always missed with NHL... the option to chose weither I wanna "interfere" with a guy, or try to lay him out.

No offence to the real online players here; ya'll know who I'm referring to!

Happens to the game every year...

I liked what NBA 2K series had done, where if you make your guy taller, it's harder to earn skill points and you earn less of them for being so big. Also maybe max out speed/acceleration to small amounts for being a bigger guy so it'd actually make it more even. You could be big and put points into hits but since you have less points, it'll be harder to be effective at anything else in the game.

This is EA please dont forget that This is one of the reasons why I am not playing this game online anymore. 6"9 300 lbs player could skate like Pavel Bure!!??? Please!

Ok...i thought for awhile you're swayed by this clip to buy it. Sure there's an issue regarding hitting in 13 but its minimal as compared to the 2 things you mentioned. Presentations, CPU teams (in BaGM) playing exactly the same as others, goalie issues (fatigue for playing to many games and swaying the puck even there's defenders nearby), penalties (variety is needed...hello???) etc.

YEA BABY!!!! got so all excited when I first saw this AI defensive awareness but after patch...FRAK! what happen???? O yea crybabies thats the main market of EA.

I'm afraid that if EA will not improved in the much needed things to make 14 CLOSER to the real NHL, for the first time since '92, I am not going to buy ANY NHL video game (bought EA since then, only with the exception of 2k3-2k7, bought 2007 because I was intrigue how the RS works as your hockey stick).

very interested to see how this works out

i wish they put in a new Call For Pass thing, slapping sticks is the worst
crosses fingers

What a shock!!! Everyone on here already bashing and picking out the tiny flaws. NHL 13 is a great game and plays superb. Yeah the AI need tweaking but other than that its a great GAME. Yup it a GAME!!! Hello people. Be happy that EA is making advances.. You all come on here and BASH the improvements. Your the reason EA gone away from franchise and BAP to online. EA can put out a no defense goal fest. ONLINE SUCKS 100%..

Be happy they are making improvements and shut your pie holes. If you dont like it dont buy the game and play NHL2k10 or another NHL game..

Idiots!!!
