NHL 13

[DJ Ice]

Downloading demo now! Syked!

If there's a Xbox league, I call Devils

[Ruki]

I like t' NHL Moments Live feature. Skating will take some getting used to. Have yet to score a goal >_<

Edit: Sexy goal! Doing HUT...I am on t' PK, I dump t' puck down t' ice and apparently Havlat is behind t' defenders He goes hard, dekes t' goalie and scores!~

WOOOOOOOOOAH WHOA WHOA WOOOOOOOOOAH

WHOOOAAAA

WHOOA-WHOOO-AAH

WHOOOOOOOAAAAAA

Wish t' Avs used Bro Hymn as their goal song

Ruki, I took me about 5 games to score, and then I scored three in t' space of a minute or so. Much harder to get t' one timers, you really need to pay attention to t' speed of t' past. So worthwhile when it works though.

Skating's going to be interesting, I think I'll appreciate it more once I've gotten to grips with it. Love t' difference in speed between different guys though.

I can't play t' demo because I have no cable near my xbox, but seeing and hearing that goalies have become better, I can safely assume that in NHL 13 I will never ever score.

I mean in NHL 12 I already have a hard time scoring goals as it is, so NHL 13 is going to be purgatory for me.

I play on auto aiming btw, because unlike other people I can't choose t' correct corner when there are defenders breathing down my neck and I am trying to get it to t' guy in t' crease...

Sigh, gonna have a hard time with NHL 13 I guess to start...

[King Ellis]

I beat t' first team of t' UT tourny like 3-0 on my 2nd go but then i've drawn them 0-0 and 1-1 t' next few times.

Devils are also horrible and wont let me win.

This game is confusing. A should pass and X should shoot! I dont care about any of this other stuff

[Ruki]

Faceoffs. I cannot win a faceoff to save my life.

Faceoffs. I cannot win a faceoff to save my life.

This, ever since they changed it to some rock paper scissors shit, I can't win them consistently at all.

I preferred t' old system that relied solely on good timing and a guy with high faceoff skill.

There's NHL 94 controls in there somewhere...

[Cactus Drags]

I'd quote, but t' button doesn't work for me at t' moment for some strange reason.

Srar, use NHL 94 controls.

Faceoffs can fuck off, I don't know what they've done different, but something's putting me off. Also, its not rock/paper/scissors, it's still timing-based.

Ellis, t' score you start at seems to be randomly-generated. Just restart until you're 3-0 up or something.

You can change back to classic controls or NHL 94 controls if you want in the options

Last NHL game I played was NHL 10, and this just feels considerably...slower, although that's not so much an issue as it will getting used to. Also, I agree with the face-offs, os there no option for them?

[Your Mom]

Thanks guys. I switched controls and had a lot more fun. I even scored 2 goals!

[Toe]

I won't be able to join the online league until the beginning on October

Will I be able to join then?

[Ruki]

I assume so?

[I_Like_EWR]

Just played the demo. I like the physics skating. It's pretty cool. I hate how Play Now always starts at 4-0 Kings though in the 3rd period. I let the Devils tie it, and there was no overtime. That pissed me off. It's a great demo though.

[Ruki]

I just play HUT, that way it is 0-0.

[alldaws1]

It's not always 4-0 Kings. It must be random because I've had several different scorelines; up, down & tied.

I haven't played HUT yet because I can't think of a team name! They're far too restrictive with the amount of letters allowed. I presume if you put a team name in now you have to stick with it in the full game?

[King Ellis]

No, wasn't that way for me on 11. Shouldn't be here either caus you can reset your team at will if you back out to the menu.

[Ruki]

I am just leaving my name default because: a) It's the demo, it won't carry over to the main game b) When you back out the of the menu/turn the demo off your team name will be lost and c) It's the demo and it doesn't matter.

It seems that no matter what, I always get Goc the defender (at least, I think that is his name...)

[King Ellis]

Finally beat the Devils thanks to an OT goal and now it's gone back to the menu, there is no menu! Can't carry on the tournament. Horrible, broken game. I cancel my pre-order.
