Well, I'll buy it because I don't have a console since NHL 09, PS2 (Well, in fact I still have the PS2 and sometimes give it a try. :D). Never tried a NextGen NHL game, besides some demos here and there. Yup, call me outdated.

Besides that, I think Madden NFL 13 will be worth paying as well and I'm really eager to see it. That's basically the two games I'll ever play, NHL and NFL.

But as you guys said, that's true, nothing compares with this mod that we have. The level of detail, menu, depth of stats and (well mentioned, Ocelar) the cyberfaces are simply amazing.

Franco.... what do you think about Madden '08 (the last one for PC)?

I thought it was pretty good game.... but then again we Finns (generally) aren't big fans of "bastardized rugby". :D

I love American football myself.

I would expect the game more in TV style, f.e. before match some analysis, rosters, something from history and more color commentary not just those phrases - shoots, win the faceoff and such terms. We have now NHL 13 and still best match intros were those with anthems in NHL 99 or 2000. Also that Game intro is without life, just some shots on stick,puck, skates but nothing special. Simply more life to those games. EA still updating graphics and details but completely ignore this point.

The new goalies look pretty cool :tup: Although in the demo they are a bit too good... but that can be fixed with sliders in the final version. I'm not a huge fan of demo's gameplay, but same thing there: i am again used to play with sliders, and when i get used to the new skating engine i'm sure i will enjoy that game :) Atleast for some time.

@ trent: Believe it or not, I never saw it and never played it! I need to check it though. Can we mod it? Is there a community already with Madden NFL 08 mods? Do you know any?

If there is, I guess it's worth stopping by a GameStop one of these days and get a copy of this game so that I can go crazy with football as well.

Canadians don't like football as much, well, we have the CFL but it's nothing compared to the NFL. I love football, that's my second sport for sure. And right now I'm much more into it, since my wife is a crazy Chargers / Eagles fan.

On the other side, I love the Raiders. :ph43r:

I tend to disagree. I have been getting a ton of snipes in corners where i never saw in any NHL. Not that this is a bad thing. I feel as though they have gotten better at one timers/cross crease passes thanks to the new anticipation that the goalies have, and the toned down the blocker and glove so you can actually beat a goalie with a well placed shot.

I haven't been on these forums since last April. I tend to stop playing hockey games in the off season. I should probably dust off my NHL 2004 and install it now. I think i might be playing more NHL 13 though. The demo is absolutely blowing my mind. The skating physics are impeccable. I even tried to play NHL 12 after the 13 demo and i couldn't even play a full game. This NHL looks like one of my favorite hockey titles of all time. Unless 2K comes out with another title :bleh:

Sure the level of detail, the menu's, and depth of stats are amazing, thanks for everything you've done (i'm using the nhl interface you created, awesome work! :) ) but console games far surpass this game as far as officiating is concerned. No matter what i'm still going to rage at the computer when the refs call me for a little bump while my opponent gets away with hooks all game long. Consoles suck to a point but you cant tell me officiating is better in NHL 04 then what you see in the newer titles, i'm sure the refs are alot less biased, but then again i've only played the demo....

IMO you can't really compare NHL 13 with NHL 2004. There are 9 (!) years between those two games. NHL 2004 remains a masterpiece considering it's still played but you can't say "NHL 2004 is better than 13" or "13 is so much better than 2004".

About NHL 13: I really like the demo so far, the new skating system is definitely an improvement and the goalies react much more like real nhl-goalies. They save more one timers (don't lie on the ice like idiots) but also give up some more rebounds (not every shot is now saved with the glove) and you can deke them out on the five-hole.

Refs still sucked on console actually. I'd only call it slightly better than 04. With the new goalie bumping in NHL 12 there were the ghost calls for goalie interference combined with non-calls on the blatant interference.

Hooking and tripping is based mostly on your discipline, if you boost your disc rating up to 99 you can get away with a lot more. Penalty shots were horribly awarded too.

I'm hoping they fixed the goalie interference thing this year. Only then would I consider it to be much better than 04.

Jordan Eberle is worth more than Voracek, will be part of the next dynasty and first canadian team since montreal to win the cup.

Yeah but I can't play Batman on the PC!

There are plenty of good PC games that you can play from even 6 yrs ago tbh and really enjoy and I do get bored of most console games fairly quick but I think for most people it's easier, they don't need to have a gaming PC or have to worry about the specs.

After my Blu-ray player died suddenly last week, i have decided to buy a PS3, which also can be used as Blu-Ray player.

My first PS 3 game will be NHL13. I will give this game a try.
I would love to play NHL 13 on PC, but EA hate us PC USERs. :angry:

Got this thing today... seems surprisingly difficult. Skating is OK for me, need a bit learning because start's are a bit slower than in NHL 12 or NHL 2004, but i think i'll manage it sooner. Goalies catch pretty much everything but 100% perfect shots, but i'll fix that with sliders later.

Seems like an 8/10, and it'll get better with sliders, i guess.
