***NHL 13 Thread*** (Part 3)

[Frosty415]

Wow, I got jumped on for my demo comment. What you will play on release day is what you are playing in the demo, minus slider adjustments.

Just like the Madden demo.. . Which is identical to the actual game.

But hey, keep holding on to your false hope.

Yeah a ton of ea f boys here, demos are generally finished products because this is not a beta test, demos are supposed to encourage people to buy the product not test it, its called a demo not a beta.

Doug Gilmour is on tv in canada now talking about legends in NHL 13. He's one of them.

 

[KaraLupin]

So, they got rid of the LS down "3 burst speed" function? As far as I can tell if you hold it down, your player will start powerskating right away, but he will do it automatically after a second or 2 anyways.

Is this correct?

 

[WeThreeKings]

Anyone score any highlight reel goals? Or is everything just text book? Haven't had access to my Xbox since the demo came out..

Can't really. If you beat the D one-on-one, they cover the entire ice-span in a nano-second and clobber you from behind, since that's a legal and realistic play in the NHL.

Really? I think the madden is noticeably better than the demo.

They didn't get rid of it, you just need to hold it down and up now instead of pushing it multiple times

somebody on a different forum said that he saw that Doug Gilmour, hasek, and kurri as some of the legends that are going to be in the game (I'm not sure if his story is credible, but these guys seem like they can be legends). Some idiot said that doug gilmour shouldn't be legend. IMO I think that Gilmour has done enough to earn the right to be a "legend". My question is that do you guys think he is a "legend"?

Yes, Gilmour is definitely legend worthy. Hell, Roenick was one last year... Gilmour is at LEAST on that level.

 

[Passchendaele]

I got pissed off at my NHL 12 copy about a month ago and threw it in the garbage.

Can't wait for 9/11.

Gilmour definitely worthy. I like the addition of Kurri. Surprised Orr wasn't in the first batch, especially since he's still involved in the game, you'd think licensing wouldn't be a huge deal. Some day

thats something we will probably never hear again.

I don't know if y'all don't know or whatever but Hayley Wickenheiser is in the game as well as a legend.

No incredibly notable goals yet, but some of the saves I have seen are crazy. I saw Quick make flying Orr type leap to make a save on a one-timer. He was horizontal at the same height as the crossbar.

"For the first time in any sports video game, players can choose a professional female athlete for their line-up, and for Wickenheiser that fact is still sinking in."

Someone didn't play Tiger Woods PGA Tour...

i scored a couple. inside outside move on a defender with a loose puck deke and then sniped it top shelf with Yakupov.

With another player (forgot who I was) skating to the point from behind the net (along the boards almost) spun off 2 defenders which gave me an angle to the net, skated on net and sniped it home.

I had a couple more but don't remember them as well as these 2 were the best ones.

Not my radio station so I don't care. But she is in the game, its on her's and Gilmours twitter's.

Or Top Spin


At any rate ... that's really cool. Good for Haley!

 

[moz]

I guess if you narrow it to a team sports video game, but I'm pretty sure there's professional beach volleyball games out there...

Still a positive development. On the other hand, I've been waiting five years for EAsportsworld.com to allow female avatars, so!

 

[RehnX]

I decided to not make this a thread just because it would be clutter and stupid for a simple question.

But does anyone know of any GM connected(on 3600) leagues that are running co-op(at least 5 on 5) and still have teams available? It seems like everyone is just starting 1v1 leagues.

If not, I'll be starting one soon.

I wonder what she is rated, I doubt they would put a legend at 60 overall

I'm sure she'll be mid to low 80's. She's the best women's hockey player by far. I'm guessing her shooting and hockey type IQ stats will be pretty high. Obviously hitting will be low but she can be physical.

She played in a men's league in Finland for a few years and had an actual tryout with the Philadelphia Flyers.

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

Can anyone guess these legends?

Wickenheiser and Gilmour are in there somewhere

Goalie is Hasek

Forsberg, Neeley. Looks like only one of them is a lefty
