NHL 13 Interview Questions

[Steve_OS]

Submit them here. We chat w/ the guys later today. Be specific!

Was pass reception ease and/or accuracy tuned to better reflect how difficult it is to:

1) receive a hard pass from a short distance (eg, max effort on a cross-crease pass)?

2) set up a one-timer (eg, rocket pass back to point from low in zone)?

Can we edit and save the strategies and such for all 30 teams? If so, will those carry over into GM Mode?

[Ninjoid]

Can we play any game from any side's schedule in be a GM mode? Is it full 30 team control for offline GM?

Will there be fights in AI v AI matches? The lack of this has plagued cpu v cpu games for the last few years - they just don't happen and detracts from the realism. Can they please tweak this so the AI will insitigate a fight with itself.

Thanks

1. Was changing player types added back in this year? (example- changing a player from sniper to playmaker)

2. Is the puck more loose this year?

3. Does the game play sloppier so boardplay, net battles, and dump and chase are vital parts of the game?

Just to confirm, from my understanding you can coach a team now while playing a game? Kind of like a "coach mode"?

1. In GM Connected, can you prioritize individual players for the automated draft, or just generalize it by league? This has a big effect on my interest level.

2. How do trades work in GM Connected? With the new Trading system, since there is multiple Player GM's, can they both go after one player on an AI team and the computer takes the best player, or first come, first serve?

3. With the new skating and AI systems in place, will teams change their Strategies over the course of a GM Mode 'era' to suit their team?, in otherwords, will they change play styles over time and draft and trade accordingly, or stay the same the entire time?

This question is merely a cosmetic question but every video I see, they haven't changed it.

My question is:

1) Are they going to add the curved glass by the benches for NHL 13?! They don't have that stanchion anymore by the benches....

[kai123]

Does CAP mode finally have a way to upload/sculpt faces?

[crankybaker]

Hi,

I have a few questions I am living in australia but answers for these questions would be great.

Is there a international release date or release date for australia?

Will the collectors edition of NHL 13 available in Australia?

Will there be micro transactions in NHL HUT if yes is there any effort to fix the auction house so rare cards are actually rare?

Will Historic Jerseys or more in game playable jerseys be available for all modes?

and last but not least, Will you be able to completly customise your HUT team IE stadiam fell and goal siren types plus can we hire real coaches?


Thanks guys if you have to pick one please ask about the release date we have been very much left in the dark over here in boomarang land.

keep up the good work guys
