NHL 13!

Playing NHL is an amazing way to get rid of all your aggression and frustrations. It's speed, power and tactics combined. Personally I hate sports games, most of them anyway, but NHL will always have a special place in my fragile heart.

The brutal way of getting to your goal and shooting the puck so damn hard that it appears you just took down the goalie. And the fights... If you don't like someones face, you can just punch the damn thing. Even worse, you can manipulate with whom you have to fight so you can eliminate the better players of the enemy team. That is NHL and I love it!

So here we are, waiting for the release of NHL 13.
EA announced the release to be September 11, 2012 in North America and September 14, 2012 in Europe.
Obviously number 13 will, again, have massive innovations. For example, they generated the physics and speed to match the real thing as close a possible. They call it... wait for it... "true performance skating". Sjeesj! And with that 1000(!) New animations!
Just like every new game they promise a new AI. All the player will be aware of every player on the map (new ?) and thus will have to engage in quicker, smarter and more true-to-life decision-making.

Promises promises, we'll have to wait for September to see what they actually improved.
My opinion? NHL is a great game so why change it, besides graphics ? The 1000 animations is a nice one as well but I'd much rather heard that one of their new features would be a release for pc.

You can't pre-order this one yet so here's the link to 12, for the ones who don't have it yet.

Release date: September 11, 2012
