NHL 12 first look video

[Lancer]

That sucks Diablo. It's interesting that for me, my online randoms for NHL seem a little better than other games like Madden. Like I told Jack, i've played around 1500 online games for NHL the last 3 years, and now I'm really tired of the series offline/online. HUT was awesome last year but w/o any changes to it this year, it's too much of the same. Maybe theyll give us something new in terms of game modes and gameplay next year. The only reason I put in the game now is if I see one of you guys on there who wants to play a online game. Other than that, there's nothing new in the game to keep me interested.

I played over 600 online randoms with NHL11 and loved it. There are too many things that ruin the game for me in 12 - Sticklifting is WAY too liberal...it's borderline a joke. Also, the comebacks that are obviously coded in the game are enraging. If you are on the road and take a lead, get ready because here comes a powerplay for the other team and they will be given every single opportunity to score. It's comical some nights. Sad thing is it could be fixed with a simple patch.

hey you sure do got something w/ that home-road thing. I thought it was just me, but I noticed this year if you're the home team (hosting online) you seem to have a quicker or faster button reaction time than being the road team. Whenever I'm the road team online this year, it seems like my team is a bit sluggish and a step behind the hosting player.

Well last year if you remember, they had that last patch in Jan 11 that fixed most of the problems. I read they're going to update with another patch next month but not really sure if it's going to affect online play.

I traded in a few games today and "re-picked up" NHL 12 . At least OTP will work for me now. For the record, I am an idiot but it sure felt good tearing the disc apart

[Diablo25]

The latest patch is out (1.04). I hope stick lifting is toned down! I am guessing the Winter Classic sweaters are in. Heading in for a few online games.

[Diablo25]

Sadly it doesn't look like the ridiculous stick lifting was addressed. F@cking wow...what a joke. Just played two games online...outclassed my opponent the entire game but with the sticklifting, comeback code at home and lopsided penalties I lost both. Un fn real. Its like the developers are rewarding the BS players. Soooooooo frustrating.

vader - good game man, 1-0 tight one, lucky i scored.

Diablo OMFG, LOL, wtf was that! Diablo was on the PP and all I was doing is clearing the puck from my zone. So I shoot it into your zone, hits off the end boards, bounces behind your goalie and into the net for a SH GOL! LOL.

Then wtf was w/ that Goal I got. Penalty called against you, I score right away before the PP starts. Should be no PP then, but the game gives me a PP anyway, LOL.

And in the shootout, I thought you won the game w/ Hartnell's goal, but then the game kept going. On the replay it looked legit.

Seems like the game has it our for you. lol


hey was that you swearing or are you really PK

Seems like the game has it in for me? I swear it does. Some of the s*** I have had happen to me online is UNBELIEVABLE. It's been driving me nuts. I swear the developers get a message when I go online and just sit in the studio and screw me. It's true.

. Absolutely. I get so enraged at the game sometimes that I just let out a blood curdling F bomb. It feels great.

I had not played HUT in 2 weeks, I had 10K in EA Pucks last I remembered. I log in today into HUT and I got 23K EA Pucks! Can someone check their EA Pucks?

[Diablo25]

I haven't looked at HUT in A long time. I may check it out later on...after the Sixers game.
