Ha, no I did not turn offsides or icing off.

If I remember right, if you turn the passing accuracy slider to zero, you'll get more icing calls.

Re: NHL 12 - Oilers vs. Wild (Full Game)

Thanks as always, Chase.

The majority of what I see here....I like quite a bit. In fact, pretty pleased.

If I remember right, Chase...you usually play on All-Star [hardcore], if that's what I was looking at, this will serve me well. I was pleasantly surprised at times, how fairly aggressive the AI was defensively. So overall...I liked what I saw, gameplay wise.

However, kinda disappointed about how the post goal celebrations are handled this year. Not really liking the cut scene to the crowd first, and really no players seen celebrating the goal on ice. Also no 3 stars announcement after the game. What's up with that? In these two areas, the game imo, has gone backwards. The game just doesn't need presentation value taken away. Strange decisions. I know the commentary is getting stale now. But I do think its still dang good though.

But again...digging the most valuable part of any sports game...the gameplay!

Thanks again for doing this for us, Chase!

I perfer the 5 man canned cutscenes we had last year to what they did this year to be honest. Unless they plan on going full on real time presentation next year/in the near future I'd hope they can just go back to what we had in 11 on goal celebrations.

Yep, the goal celebrations are terrible. It really bugs me. The crowd looks poor so what better way to cheapen the best moments of the game than cutting to them? It's almost an anti-climax when it happens!

I'm disappointed with this year's iteration to be honest. After all the talk of TV companies involved in overhauling the presentation, they've made it considerably worse.

Looks like I will need to adjust the sliders to make the game more realistic. Each side must have had 100 shots each which is far from realistic. Zero defense, no offsides, no icing..........put me down for concerned if this is how the game plays out of the box.

+1

If I can't get the sliders to play at least a 10 minute period of good solid hockey, I'm gonna be really pissed. I've been playing the demo on superstar hardcore, and it's been ok but, I can see things getting out of hand. I really don't want to see 20+ SOG a period (for one team) because this generation of d-bag kids can't concentrate for more than 7 minutes.

Me too, Real.

Sometimes it seems like it'd be a good idea for the devs to have an outsider there, to kinda check things out. Ya know...to give them possibly a different perspective.

To have been able to say..."Ah...on the tv, they always show the players gather together after a goal." "Especially, an important one." "Not having that this year is, well...kinda dumb."

Like I said earlier... strange they went backwards on this.
