Movement off the puck looks a hell of a lot better. This pleases me.

Skating as we found out in the last video doesn't look much different, but personally that wasn't one of my biggest issues with the game. I'd still like to see it changed/tweaked though.

I liked the way the player skated and just wristed a goal in without using any fancy animation. I also liked how the puck looked more "loose" on the players stick.

At 1:40 to 1:45 I also noticed that the hits seem toned down and more realistic. You will see a hit at the blue line where in NHL 11 that would be a hulkster smash but in NHL 12 it looks like the physics for the hitting are more realistic and the guy glances off of him because he didn't line up the check.

At 2:57 to 3:04 it shows some after the whistle play. Seems like we are allowed to hit guys to the ice and no penalty..

At 3:09 to 3:11 you see the faceoff deke garbage

At 3:20 to 3:25 you see a nice save by the goalie and it looks like it's harder to roof the puck when in tight?

Overall I like what he is saying about the puck physics but the faceoff gamebreaking cheese is still there.

i don't get it. Are we watching the same video? The one I saw looked identical to NHL 11. Also the link shows a video that is only 2:48 in length...something is off.

EDIT: Nevermind, found the video you were talking about. The link above is the wrong one.

Oh yeah my bad lol

Is it just me or does AI defense still look crappy? On the wraparound goal, the shooter was not even challenged. And while entering the zone there just seems to be no pressure.

i reconise goalie reaction speed hes using ^_^ and the mod he's using =P
it's super star he has his reaction speed set to low if his human reaction speed was higher his goalie woulda stopt that and he has his player acceleration and game speed a sorten way
