In Play Now, select either the Stanley Cup Champion Los Angeles Kings or the New Jersey Devils as you battle it out in the third period. The period will start with a randomized score each time you play. Test out the all-new ‘True Broadcast’ camera which delivers a startlingly realistic hockey broadcast presentation as the camera swivels and zooms to capture every moment.

Free skate?! Please tell me that is free roam arena from FIFA!

Thats the impression I get from that. Which makes it a welcomed addition to the demo. Should be fun practicing some shootout moves and what not.

FINALLY! I've been wanting this for years now. I love free roam in FIFA. Good way to kill time when waiting for friends to get on or to practice moves.

Cannot WAIT for this demo. I'm so pumped.

HUT mode on demo is useless, all it accomplishes is giving user 1 free pack for the full game, so I'd rather a single 20 min period for the demo and you must win(maybe always start that period down by at least a goal) on a certain difficulty, to unlock the HUT pack for the full game.

I would love a full game, 10 min per period to really get a test of the game. Madden gets a full game, why can't we?

Also I hate HUT, I never use it.

Isn't free skate just practice 1-on-1 with the goalie? They've had this since 08 (07?). It's just not implemented as well as FIFA's. You actually have to go into the mode.

I think they are adding it to the demo so people can get a feel for the skating.

I think so. You go into your player's equipment edit and press start

NO unlocked sliders in the DEMO, i guess..
DAMN IT, so again we wont know if the Sliders will work or not this year!!!

The skating looks so good.

[canucksss]

if EA will put sliders (which i was really hoping they would) and if didnt work as promised then there'll be a lost sales right away. (why spill the beans)

i dont know but this is just a guess...perhaps they are still configuring out the sliders or maybe trying to test it out and making up tuner update in time of the release date.

still with all these promises im seeing in the news and videos, im 65% sold in getting the NHL 13. but i will not get it on release day....perhaps after 5 days of the release after i read some comments from trusted guys here in OS.
