NHL 13 is looking like the upgrade 12 should have been. Game Informer has a great article on 22 Things We Know About NHL 13. Maybe it's too soon, but I'd probably buy it today.
Anyone interested in play in the GWJHL should head over here to claim a team.
Many of the features they cite as new (for example, the ability to skate backwards and generally shift around on your skates, or the ability to get a little extra burst of speed off of your first stride) actually already exist as of NHL 12, but it seems like this time they've put some work into those systems and made them more explicit, which seems like a smart thing to do and stands a very good chance of improving the game. Looking forward to it.
Gameplay improvements are always welcome. I was really happy with NHL12 outside of the goalie AI woes.
Online Dynasty should be interesting.
I will buy it. This I know.
I think I'm in this year. I've been playing NHL 11 all year, but I think I'm ready for an upgrade, if only for improved A.I. After too long with a sports game you start see through the game into the system and can beat the a.i. because you know what they're going to do.
I'm in. I just got into hockey this season so I picked up NHL 12 from the library. So far it's scratched my itch. Just gotta see how I do online against real people.
I'm looking forward to seeing their goalie AI. It was my biggest complaint last year.
I'm in. Shocking, I know.

I actually don't have to say this, do I? Preordered, release day shipping, etc, etc. I like the skating and I really hope they aren't blowing smoke about the AI.
Not looking to bad! Still wish online fantasy drafts would be added. Can't wait to play as the Oilers! Gotta trade for a big Center, and a top 2 D-man, and I'm gold!
New gameplay video from EA showcases defensive play:
This game continues to look impressive. Can't wait for the demo.
I'm in for sure. Team play and GM Connected.
Do we know yet if you can set sliders in the GM Connected mode?
I really hope they speed up the loading times of the UI and menus in the PS3! It's always lagged more than the 360.

I have a solution for you!

Ha! I know, but when all your buds play on one system...

Exactly! You get new buds.
Sign me up! Are you planning on creating a new league? If you got a open spot, I'm in.
I think we should definitely get back into the league thing in some fashion. And Certis has to be involved so I can manhandle Iginla like the playtoy he is. So does Green just so I can hear him cuss in his outrageous Canuckistanian French accent.
I would like to put dibs on the Wings if we get a league together
This looks good. The problem is I suck so bad at controlling these games. Being mostly a PC gamer I don't have much experience with either post Genesis-era sports games or modern console controllers, and generally revert to button mashing as I try to remember what button I need to push to do a certain move. Most of the time I end up icing the puck as I accidentally shoot it in yet again from behind my own blue line.
