It's kind of amazing that probably the best core hockey gameplay experience EA has ever made is going to get lost in all the hoopla surrounding missing features.

It's not amazing at all - The gameplay only matters to most people if the modes are there for people to *use* the game with.

Gameplay and presentation are only 1/2 the enchilada

Anyhow, can you tell me if you notice the amount of penalties in your games? What difficulty ar you using....AS/Sim? Do you notice the AI defense in particular Neutral zone? Also, is your AI teammates smarter? I will be focusing on these later. Thanks.

I have not spent much time in games I only played 2. But I played them on Pro/Hardcore Simulation 11 minute periods I had 2 power plays total CPU had none......Not happy about that. I like the gameplay for the most part but cheesy goals are still there and sometimes bad CPU/Team Mate AI rears its ugly head.

Another stripped down mode is CREATE A PLAYER check it out and prepare to be like WTF......

Don't know how else to put it, but this game is just pure fun.

The puck physics are what pulls you in. That and the fact that the presentation is really solid= total immersion.

Hopefully Rammer and those boys come through with a couple of solid patches on top of it.

Good times.

I agree.
not only that, but the errant pass went to a teammate. In my experience, normally errant passes almost always go to the other team.

I thought the goal was nice and had some organic moments to it.

Scoring goals is also challenging and playing defense is much easier than it’s been in past titles, which surprisingly reminded me of my favourite hockey video game of all time, NHL 2K2 on the Dreamcast.

This quote has me wanting to buy a PS4 yesterday!
Extra modes be darned, if this game features gameplay similar to 2K2, I am ALL IN.

I'm sorry to keep being so negative because I really do like the gameplay and look but I keep finding really inexcusable stuff wrong that just seems to ruin what few modes you have available. If you create a player and place him on a team it changes whatever number you pick to number 1........... Really and of course......No ability to change jersey numbers.......Only in BeaGM.....which is lacking the ability to do just about anything else.....Man if they don't patch the crap out of this even you guys loving it are going to start getting annoyed by all the missing stuff......

NHL 13 goalies are back. Warping all over the crease.

Why did you buy it then?

Just curious. We knew all this stuff was not in.
