Regardless of awards I am extremely excited for NHL 13 and GM connected.
That's how movement and animations are in every 2ksports title. Overly heavy uniteruptable with exagerated momentum. It drives me crazy.

This seems very possible. And if really true....that'll be a great thing.

Especially for the die hard NHL gamers.

It also depends on what type of sports you like. I don't watch hockey, I wouldn't know what's authentic or not, so it would never be sports game of the year for me.

I expect The Show, NBA 2K13 or Madden 13 to take that award for me.

For me the commentary needs a new overhaul something a little more fresh than Gary and Bill can give us. It was a good run but with NHL moments live you wont hear Gary thorn in an NHL games lets get current and get another pair its time especially next year not going to happen obliviously this year.

They just need a better script and less hokey lines to be honest. There's far worse alternatives out there than Thorne and Clement. ie: Bob Cole and Harry Neale /shudder

Maybe it's because I am more a fan of the college game where there is no fighting, but the fighting in NHL 13 is probably the very last thing on the list of things I would like to see done with the game.
Thats what I was getting at, no way fighting should be mentioned, let alone first mentioned in a game that has brand new skating engine and added one of the biggest changes in game modes with gm connected

Its looking like a game I'm gonna enjoy this year.

But I cannot understand why EA continues to neglect anything similar to a halftime report.

Madden 13? a few cut scenes with background music
NCAA 13? the pause menu
FIFA ? the pause menu


And looks like NHL 13.......STILL no Intermission Report. Its 2012........really?

The same thing that happened to Madden is happening to the NHL franchise. They built up a superb game that killed off the competition and now suffers from the same problems year after year. NHL is hardly a bad game its just each years version is starting to feel like nothing more than a fresh coat of paint and a roster update. The commentary was top notch 5 years ago but now its getting old and annoying. EA had a golden opportunity this year to switch the broadcast booth and use the guys from NBC Sports or Hockey Night in Canada but failed to do so.

This game needs a major overhaul for it to be enjoyable again. The franchise mode didn't change at all last year it was the same exact mode with the same broken trade logic and the same boring coma inducing off season. My biggest complaint with the game though is the lack of overall excitement in the playoffs. The Stanley Cup Playoffs are one of the most exciting and gut wrenching moments in all of sports, millions of non hockey fans flock to NBC to watch playoff hockey. In the game the playoffs and Stanley Cup feel like just another exhibition game.

Going to be tough to beat out FIFA 13 for that honor.

Couldn't agree more. Ive been feeling the series has been stale for awhile now. The gameplay changes all look incredible but when push comes to shove, after a few days I know I'll be feeling been there done that. New commentating and better presentation seem to me the easiest way to keep a series fresh. Who knows I'm not at all familiar with what goes into developing a video game. Just my .02
