Thread: NHL 12 news

What view are you using now, Martyros? I'm going to try overhead next game and stuff. HIGH takes some getting used too, but it seems to be working for the most part (now that I'm used to it)

I used the "high" camera view for my BAP (online and offline) back in NHL 09. I switched to the overhead view in NHL 10 and never looked back. Being able to see the majority of the ice really helps me. I can read the play easier and I can react faster. It took awhile to get used to because you feel really far away from the action.

There are still times where I don't know where the hell the puck went, but that's what party chat is for. Teammates letting you know where the puck is at all times!

I use overhead (as a RW), I like being able to see as much of the ice as possible.

I'm back from vacation and will be picking up NHL 12 today. We're getting the band back together!

I just picked up the game, when does the PS3 crew usually play?

I use custom 3 as a defenseman, with the focus on me instead of the puck. it helps to spot cherry pickers in the back, although the detriments are long dump ins against our team I can't always see the puck because of the angle (and the marker doesn't show up, so I'm guessing where the puck is).

THH is back up and running! 5-2-1 to start the new season.

I will only use the default camera view, hate the overhead view.

For example, they would say they aren't looking for a veteran, a prospect, a forward, a defenseman, athleticism...etc, so I never knew what to offer them.

Buggy in my experience so far. Got offered a 1st rounder and a decent prospect for my 3rd rounder. To make sure I wasn't reading this incorrectly, I opened it up to edit. When I saw it was accurate, I said to execute only to be told that the other GM said it was unfair. Go figure.

2nd game in and I score a shorty on a 2 on 1 against a human goalie, our team was down 2-0 came back to win 3-2 in OT. Do like how I can play different positions without having to change the attributes every time.
