I know I'm starting to get excited for '13', because it's getting harder and harder to play '12'.

I can`t wait for NHL13 either,....at least I`m hoping that`s the case after hearing about the goalies in more depth.

I`m still doing good with NHL12 though,...I`m doing Playoffs mode,....playing every game using all 16 teams,who ever is the home team is the team I use.

I`m just finishing up the first round,and it`s been pretty good.I`m using my current sliders and playing on Allstar.

The Flyers vs Pens series is funny because the games have been just like how the real games were.

Good question.

I would hope that each league commisioner would get that control.

I don't understand their reasoning to why we can't have online fantasy drafts. If people don't want to participate in a 45 round draft then don't, but at least give us the option to, what's so hard about that? In Madden I have went through a plenty of 48 round drafts (or whatever the length is), yes it takes a while, but Im sure a lot of people will still do it. Whatever, at least we got online gm.

I wonder if they actually decided to create a prospect generator that can assign names that actually make sense, or are we going to be scouting more draft prospects named Russell Jackson from Belarus, or seeing lottery picks named John White from South Korea?

Okay...feeling new here because I haven't been on these NHL boards in quite some time. Just started reading about this GM Connectivity mode. Just a few questions:

They say you can still play this against an AI controlled league. So wouldn't that just be the offline mode?

And when they say you can be GM and / or coach...if you're "coach" does that mean you just call the plays and DO NOT control the players on the ice? (Like the Manage only mode in MLB the Show?)

Thanks.

Correct on the offline mode deal. From the sounds of it, they're trying to do away with the differentiation of online and offline mode. Just meld the two together and be done with it. That's been a major thorn for Madden recently, with the lack of love for online franchise. Looks like EA wants to just bring it all into one game mode.
