NHL 13 Gameplay Video


Capturing video footage of NHL 13 gameplay wasn't allowed at E3, but that didn't stop Gamereactor from doing it.

NHL 13 was an alpha build at E3 and the game releases on September 11th, so they have time to polish it up. From the looks of the video, the 2 gamers had no idea what they were doing, but it does offer the first glimpse of real gameplay.

Now I know why this game has never looked right... there's absolutely no stick handling. The puck is glued to players' sticks, which allows them to swing their sticks in circles on the ice surface without ever losing control of the puck.

Um you're aware it's a video game right?

It doesn't look like they fixed the home ice advantage on line changes at face-off.

Maybe you are being sarcastic but lets not let them off the hook here they got the skateing down. It should not be too much of a stretch to do the same with the puck. Stick handling goes together with hockey like peas and carrott's

That looked really good! Couple things I noticed:

Plenty of one-timers MISSED due to what looked like an out of control puck. Nice.

Yeah, some passes looked like magnets stuck on sticks, but hopefully this can be adjusted thru sliders.

Small detail: The replay on the Devils goal, I saw some fans stand and cheer. Away crowd--nice.

Overall, looked really good to me.

As a hockey novice, can you explain what you mean by this?

Re: Gameplay Video

HUGE ISSUE I can see already that disturbs me (outside of the magnetized puck to the stick):

Pucks are flying with laser like precision when passed and they are STICKING TO THE PLAYER'S STICK - Sorry, but this is a load of crap. The puck never bounces off a stick, even when it's rifled to a player 5 feet away from him with max power behind the pass.

If this is what EA believes to be an improvement, I'm sorry but this is an utter joke. There is NOTHING in that video that tells me things will improve. Maybe sliders can fix things - but we've been down this road before where slider tweaks for PASSING mean very little.

Not trying to be mean about this, but even you guys that love hockey would have to admit this looks really bad right now... I have no hope whatsoever after reviewing this video clip. The speed of guys flying through the offensive zone is bothersome as well... Oh well...

It's still in ALPHA Software build. EA still has to add hitting physics, as well as tune, polish, and de-bug the game before September comes. Obviously there is going to be some hiccups in the game right now and frankly no one was allowed to film/record gameplay at E3 because of this. Relax, there is still 1 1/2 - 2 months of tuning left.

Right on a console with 512 megs of ram, and where they have to strike a balance between the casuals and sim fans. Look I'd love to see pucks bouncing all over the place too. And have a sloppy game but at the end of the day, you also want the game to be fun and playable without being frustrating to play.
