Anyone Getting NHL 12?

I don't know whether I'm getting it tomorrow night or Thursday when I have time, but I know I'm getting it. I played the demo and it looks like they've made some great improvements. For once, the AI seems to understand how to avoid hits. You can't just expect them to skate in a straight line anymore. If they see you coming, they'll try to avoid the hit. Also they play better defense when going into their zone by swinging their stick back and forth on the ice trying to break up a pass.

Also, hitting the goalie after the whistle is pretty fun lol

Nope. Getting Fifa this year instead. Which is what I really should of done last year as well.

is it worth the 15 minute ride to the mall today?

I hope its better than last yr.

I wasnt all that impressed with last years installment (granted it was much deeper than Madden but isnt that always teh case?). I remember playing Superstar mode and playing over 50 games and only being rated a 72. Didnt matter if yous cored 5 goals and had 10 assists, its was an overly extreme grind trying to get your ratings up. That really turned me off. Im not saying you should be a 100 after 4 or 5 games, but 50+ and only low 70s?

Unlikely.

I never got round to buying NHL 11.

There's also a ton of games out in the next few months. Battlefield, Skyrim, Gears of War 3.

I'm not the kind of gamer who sticks to one genre (sports).

Dont forget Saints Row 3.

Seems like its gonna be one fo teh ebst games this year. Saying its flying under the radar is an understatement.

They said they revamped it so we'll see. I'm getting it tomorrow so I'll see if they did change some stuff. I know the fact that you can skip the time you spend on the bench is a great feature.

well i was talking about my drive. i gotta hop on the turn pike BECAUSE NORTH JERSEY SUCKS FUCKING DICK

It's got Stamkos on the cover...how could it not be a great game???

If I had more time to play games, I'd get it. Right now with work, basketball, and family I'm lucky to get in a game or 2 of Madden or NCAA per week. I need a video game weekend where I lock the door for a day and play.

I wonder what teh Sedin sisters clutch rating is after the no show they pulled in teh finals...

No clutch rating in NHL LOL!

But it's a good game. The Be a Pro you we're talking about does seem improved. You can create a player for each position which is nice. The experience points also is dictated by the type of player you are. So if you are a sniper, you'll gain more experience in offense than in defense.

The rookie trade value is off though. I could trade Olli Jokinen for Ryan Nugent-Hopkins! It's so fucked up
