Potential Sports game of the year!?! Not a chance. Not with such complete sport games such as MLB The Show & NBA 2K out there. I doubt NHL 13 will even make my top 5 sports games this year & this coming from someone who loves his Hockey.

NHL 13 or NHL 10.3. We will see.
So wait, this game is a rehash but NBA2k isn't every year? oooook. Swear to god NBA2k is the most over rated sports game in existence.

While I agree that NHL 12 didnt make many great improvements. I think the brand new skating engine will make this a really great game. Definitely not NHL 10.3.. The new skating engine will be a game changer.

The team needs to work on puck physics some more to make it livelier. Hopefully that's next year since they revamped (and needed to) the skating.
This is the most true thing I've seen. Pucks and sticks go through defensemen like they aren't even there. Perfect positioning on a play isn't rewarded nearly enough. Forwards can put their stick through a D-man's skates to get a puck then shoot it all in one motion while the D-man sits there swearing at the screen as he should be.

Saying defense has an unfair advantage whatsoever is just an ignorant statement.

Also new are the way strategies work. Each coach has his own strategy, which he takes with him wherever he goes. Potentially you could see the Kings playing like Pittsburgh depending on who their coach could be.
hmm, does this mean we have the ability to hire/fire coaches now in NHL 13??

I was already sold on NHL 13 after the announcement of the new skating features. But now there is also RTP? Does this apply to checks as well as the skating? I usually get NHL every other year. But this will be my 3rd straight year getting it. I really hope Be a GM gets it's due in the improvement area. I've heard some positive stuff so far, but I can always do with some more.

Not a chance? Have you played the game? Seems kind of silly to dismiss it without even trying the game. MLB The Show 12 is pretty much only a tweaked version of the last few years. NBA 2K12 could even be considered a step back from 11.

Not saying people should buy into the hype around NHL 13, dismissing it is no better.

I was lucky enough to get my hands on the DEMO at E3. (I also was able to get my hands on a regular build for about 15 minutes before E3 opened). I have bought every NHL since i can remember and I know this is just my opinion but the changes made to skating will CHANGE the way NHL13 is played. I Loved NHL 11 and even though I liked 12 I understand there wasnt much of a change from 11 to 12, but i promise you 13 will change that.

Glad to hear it. Hope that you noticed the AI improvements during your short time with that particular build.
