+1

If I can't get the sliders to play at least a 10 minute period of good solid hockey, I'm gonna be really pissed. I've been playing the demo on superstar hardcore, and it's been ok but, I can see things getting out of hand. I really don't want to see 20+ SOG a period (for one team) because this generation of d-bag kids can't concentrate for more than 7 minutes.

Me too, Real.

Sometimes it seems like it'd be a good idea for the devs to have an outsider there, to kinda check things out. Ya know...to give them possibly a different perspective.

To have been able to say..."Ah...on the tv, they always show the players gather together after a goal." "Especially, an important one." "Not having that this year is, well...kinda dumb."

Like I said earlier... strange they went backwards on this.

I'm hoping that the sliders have a substantial impact on gameplay. I have seen a few comments on like the penalty sliders having little or no effect at all. Like they are just place holders within the game. Hope that's not the case.

I would much rather see the camera ZOOM OUT after a goal. That way you would see the players gather for a group celebration in front of the net or corner AND the crowd cheering from a more "broadcast view" perspective.

This exact celebration was in NHL2004 and it was my favorite by far.
I've yet to see it return and I cry about it on here all the time.

I hope they look into that for NHL13. Definitely a great post-goal angle.

This would be excellent.

Wow, and I thought the Madden crowd was tough. I'm playing the season pass version, and It's playing a really good game of hockey. Really liking the net battles in front of the net in BAP mode (using Roenick in the Legend Mode). Also, it's seems to play a little smoother than the demo. The game is NEVER going to be perfect OR 100% realistic. Just not gonna happen. What's there is good, really good. Does the game have some issues, of course.... Is it FUN to play, you bet your *** it is!!!

I just can not wait to pick this game up. So excited about this, I may take the day after off of work since I will be up playing all night.
