NHL 13 Wishlist

I'd like more realistic hits.

The biggest problem I've seen is someone 5'5 completely leveling a guy that's 6'4 whenever the 5'5 guy has 40/40/40/40 (Body Checking, Aggressiveness, Balance and Strength) and the 6'4 guy has 90/90/90/90.

The second biggest problem I've seen is some super unrealistic looking hits. If two people are standing still and they're both facing forward, standing one in front of the other. If the guy behind the other hits the person in front of him, he flips backwards and flops around like a fish.

Another thing that needs fixed which is actually a glitch, whenever a player is on a breakaway or a penalty shot, if he holds the puck out with one hand, the goalie freezes and all you do is run into the goalie and it's a goal.

I think it would be nice if we could select an option to make it so that we don't control the goalies. One of the biggest problems is when you are trying to get guys away from your crease and you can't switch to a defender without your goalie trying to throw the puck out to the guy you're selecting.
Also, i really hope they get rid of the annoying goalie deciding to toss the puck back into play himself.
Earlier i had Halak throw the puck behind the net, despite there not being a single one of my guys back there, and 2 guys from the other team skating that way.
Then he got a shot into his pads, but instead of covering it, he just poked it out, again to the other team (And i wish the human controlled players could get the puck half as well as the AI. Actually, i just wish the AI couldn't. I've seen way too many pucks pulled out of the air by defenders in the mouth of the goal and set down then just skated away.)
But he just kept poking the puck right to the other team, until finally he did that lazy plop forward and hope to cover animation 3 feet out of the net, and they just roofed it behind him.

Yep! I already have my wishlist set for NHL14 ....

Customizable season length in BeAGM mode. 20/42/82

Online BeAGM with customizable season length and all of the options that are available in offline BeAGM like salary cap, free agents, RFA’s, trading etc… Add in a nice web based interface.

Ability to have an online Co-op franchise with a max of 6 friends at one time on the same team.

Battle for the cup, Playoff and Tournament modes should be available as online Multi player modes! (I DON"T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS ISN"T IN ALREADY).

Ability to use our own slider settings online. ( in the above requested online modes and quick games).

Better differentiation in players. I know there is a slider but I can’t use my sliders online.

GET RID of 1st person fighting.

Online Communities like Madden (Should of had it this year!!!!!)

All the other various AI and Gameplay fixes that the other guys are sure to post here.

My 2 cents.
1) scrums involving more than 2 players in the corners and such..
2) change the whole fighting system it reminds me nothing of a real hckey fight
3) customizable goalie masks

Guys have posted some other great ideas but I dont see the need to repeat them

[savoie2006]

I would like to see sliders for Backhand Shots. They are entirely too accurate and fast. They have sliders for slap shots and wrist shots, time for backhanders. Also add an Ice friction slider please. I already posted my other requests earlier.

I'd like for them to fix the poke checking. What's the point of having a 99 poke check, 94 puck control and 90 hand-eye if you can poke through the puck and the stick 5 times because they decided all they had to do was hold the puck to the side a little bit.

There's no point in stick lifting either because you stick lift and within half a second they have the puck again and are shooting at a goalie in perfect position but some how the puck magically goes through one of the goalie's pads.

I have 2 wishes -
#1 - ALLOW US TO EDIT ATTRIBUTES DURING BeAGM!! This way we could keep up with the ever changing up and down swings of the real NHL..there is no reason we shouldn't be able to do this..MLB The Show allows it..that way if a rookie suddenly gets good we can change his 68 rating to something closer to accurate..and allow us to edit ALL TEAMS PLAYERS..its offline so why should EA care if we edit attributes during BeAGM??

#2 - Make the fighting part of the regular gameplay, not a cut scene..have it start on ice and just keep it during gameplay..I remember you could replay the fights on NHL Hockey for the Genesis!!! AND ALLOW THE COMPUTER TO INITIATE fights both from your team and the opponents..if you are skating as a non fighter and one of your teams fighters comes on allow him to initiate a fight based on game situations...or allow the computer team to respond to you throwing a big hit at one of their start players..the intimidation factor of this game really needs to be worked on

Fix the puck control and overall stability of the game. Needs more testing for sure.

I totally agree with your idea. Maybe be able to listen to your teams announcers which would require the game to have all announcers for each team.
