Worth the Purchase?

[creamsodaboy]

I have NHL 12 for the PS3 and have been looking into getting 14. Is it worth,the money, should I maybe look at 13, or should I stick with 12?

Huge NHL player. Went 47-7 last year in EASHL as a Goalie and 47pts in 22games as a Fwd.

Played first game vs CPU in HUT. Outshot them 57-4. Lost 3-2.

You can buy mine. I'm done with it.

NHL 13 was probably the first worthwhile upgrade in a long while. The new skating engine is a huge improvement in itself. IMHO NHL 14 is less of an upgrade over NHL 13. So I'd suggest if you can get your hands on either NHL 13 or 14 then you'd notice a big difference from NHL 12.

Personally I'm sticking with NHL 13 because I don't think NHL 14 is a big enough leap to justify the money. I'm going to wait until NHL 15 or 16 now on the next gen. Plus, with all of the newly found editing capabilities for NHL 13 and 14, I think NHL 13 will keep me going for a long while yet (although if this were to sway you between NHL 13 or 14, I suspect NHL 14 will be better supported editing-wise because that's where many of the users are concentrating). Although I expect NHL 12 can equally be edited using these tools.

I think it is. The skating engine that was re-done in 13 has been fine-tuned in 14. Hitting with the L-stick was a nice touch and the new one-touch dekes are also an improvement over the old style. Fighting is a lot better than the first-person view we had for years.

There's still some legacy issues but I think 14 is worth a purchase.

if 12 is the last one you played.....GET 14!

you will like it im sure, i skipped 13 and was SUPER surprised with how 14 plays and feels (still not great but a nice change from 12 for me)

I dig it alot right now

I think NHL 14 is worth it myself, been improvements since 13 for sure plus you get the new division and conference re-aligment. With the right slider tweaks you can get a very competitive game again and again, if your patient and don't just give up after 1 game NHL 14 can be very enjoyable.

I tried to sell the game, but people where asking to much money for me to give them to take it from me.

I guess the dog has a new frisbee.
