Thread: NHL 13 Talk

Okay, I saw *some* of the video and it really caters to the offense... wtf?

Quicker first step like Kane? Defensemen can't skate backwards as fast as the offense? I know they're trying to be realistic and all but this is going to screw people over like me.

If anything, the cherry pickers will have more advantage. We're going to literally have to sit next to the goalie/face off dot so the cherry pickers can't get a jump on us even more. Plus, all the cheesers/glitchers will know what stats to put so we can't poke check, check them, etc.

Unless there is something positive about the defense/goaltending in this game, I'm currently really disappointed... because like I said, cheesers will find a way around everything.

Watched 20 minutes of the video and thought of how easily some of these things are going to be exploited. I might be wrong though, but it doesn't matter. The game looks better and I already paid in full on a pre-order for it yesterday.

Funny, you could post the same thing about any of the past versions of the game. Of course it caters to the offense and cheesers. That's 99% of the people that buy these games. It seems like for every step forward, they take 2 steps back. One thing looks like it could help, then 2 other things look like it will piss you off.

It's not just this series, though, we had a couple very popular games recently launch and despite the millions of man hours spent testing, people were immediately able to find to exploits and take advantage of glitches. As technology advances it's bound to happen more and more. All the developers can try to do is keep up with the glitchers and patch, and then make a patch to fix the patch.

I am so glad we are getting COOP GM mode, I am just worried that we are going to have to wait for 29 other GM's to log in which would be horrible. Hopefully the AI will be enabled for 28 teams so 2 friends could play together even if everyone else leaves the league.

Why don't hire the best glitchers to come and test the game? They should just look the people with the most ridiculous stats. They should send them a version they can download and play online only with other glitchers.

Then they'd send all of Canada

Multiplayer manager mode! NHL 2K10 was the last game to have it. Its fantastic!!
