Universe Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 I don't know what to think. Feels like NHL 11 with a different set up screens. I like the amount of player faces but that is also just from two teams but the stuff they added in was pretty much pointless. Goalie fights are stupid as heck especially since the fighting is horrible and I've been scoring the same way you had to in the other series as well. Definately gonna wait for this to drop in price because not worth $80 for NHL 11 upgraded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Universe Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 For some stupid reason even with the game being made in Canada, it has gone up in price ever since last year. It came to around $80 bucks for NHL 11 and is the same for 12. I could easily take a 15 minute trip to the States since our dollar for once is better but I'm a dynasty player anyways and they never have it fully completed until December.....[expletive]ing roster sharing.

Really? I bought NHL '11 the day it came out and didn't pay $80. It was only $60. I haven't checked prices of '12, but I don't see it being $80 since I've basically never seen any video game that expensive. I guess the prices can definitely be different in different provinces, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna head down to EB to see if it's higher here again but still might not grab it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MainEv3nt Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 i been playing it alot, i got season ticket which means u get the full game to download on ya console 3 days early :glasses: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Anybody get the game yet? I want to, but I am completely broke after paying for tuition and books for this semester so I'm going to have to hold off for a while. If anybody has got it yet, is it enough of an upgrade over 2011 that it is worth the $60? Some have said it is basically a $60 roster upgrade and not worth while others have said it is worth it. I don't want to blow $60 bucks right now for a glorified roster update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suck right now, and it's similar to last years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check my Stats Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 (edited) The improvements are subtle and I feel like casual fans won't notice the difference. Overall the be a GM mode is still really sub par to me, and I won't be playing it. Be a pro seems improved but that shit doesn't appeal to me. I have played around 10 games online so far and have had good experiences, most the kids I have played are pretty bad but all my games have been low scoring, not sure if that is a product of my playing style or the game itself, as I personally find scoring very difficult, and sometimes fluky which is frustrating. The Legend stuff was a really half ass addition, if they wanted to do legends they should have gone all out, not just 10 guys or whatever it is. Overall I like the game, and I will continue to buy it as I always have, but I can see why some casuals might not want to. The improvements are subtle to say the least, but if you play it a lot and consider yourself a huge fan, I would definitely suggest buying it. I can't really think of a major way for them to improve the game, so I can't really hold it against them that it is similar to past years. Just continue tweaking it and improve internally, I still think it is the best sports game out there.

Just continue tweaking it and improve internally, I still think it is the best sports game out there.The game feels like it's being made for kids to get their parents to spend money on it. With HUT, goalie fights and now the legends, it's aimed at a much younger crowd while leaving Be A GM pretty much untouched. For a kid the modes don't have to be complicated as most add superstars to their team but I enjoy a more realistic experince in free agency and even the draft. I hear that the goal scoring stats have been improved and mostly the Crosbys and Ovys are leading the league in points but to add such little improvement over 11 is pure lazy. I really hope they are just waiting for '13 when 2K is back in the market and though I've never purchased a 2K hockey game, I might just do to the fact it's pointless spending money on roster updates.
