Announced at gamescon: NHL 13 demo out on August 21!
2 skill level leagues (ex: average players and hardcore players) would nice but I don't think that there would be enough people per league if we also has sim leagues. It would also be hard to judge who should be in which league. I agree that we need a sim league and a playing league, if we mix them the simmers just won't play their games and say that they were busy or something.

I would be interested in being in the Sim-only league on the 360, but would like to know what sort of realistic time commitment would be required. Being the typical guy with a wife/kids I will only get 5 - 8 hours a week in at best.
I just don't want to be "that guy" who screws up the entire league because he isn't around for 2 - 3 days at a time.

Simming takes up about 3 minutes of your time. You'll be fine.

By the way the conversation in here is going, I'm starting to think there won't be a single league on both systems but rather several on each. I never even realized people play the game with sim in mind. I don't think the "100% sim" and the "no sim if it's avoidable" camps will be able to reach an agreement.
My ideal league has people making an honest effort to play their games, but if it looks like they won't be able to reach an agreement in their schedules, then a sim takes place.
I'm guessing about half of the people currently signed up on each system feel differently, so at some point we should probably consider each system having a full sim league and a play league. While that seems like it wouldn't be ideal, I've heard from people that play in similar Madden leagues that once too many players get involved things can get muddled easily. Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise and keeping the man numbers in each league down a bit will keep things moving along.
Good points. I think the "100% sim" and the "no sim if it's avoidable" parties should prepare their proposals and come to an agreement before the September 11, 2012 deadline. Both sides seem to have alternative views, but in the end everyone just wants to play hockey. I think we can make it work.

Use this to get acclamated to the game. I believe we are starting right on the 11th, Joborule correct me if I'm wrong.
How in the bloody hell is Price higher than Kipper? If anything, they should be equal. I'm assuming Kipper will be a 89 again. Would be total BS if he wasn't. 88 is as low as I'll accept, EA.

I'm not usually a stickler for issues like this, but I'm having trouble getting past the how the puck looks when the player is going full tilt. He seems to constantly bump it only to have it suck back towards him. It looks incredibly odd even on the standard camera. Usually I don't notice these issues because you have to use a closer camera to see them, but that one is quite obvious. Perhaps the video was just made a while ago...

It's an illusion. The puck isn't "sucking" back towards him, after he pushes it, the puck slows down while he is still moving at a constant speed. Also, the camera angle doesn't help much either.

I think it be better if we started a few days after the release date. Give everyone a few days to go pick up the game, just in case some can't get it on release date.
All team ratings has been released, discuss them please! Spontaneously I feel that Letang (90) and Phaneuf (88) along with Canucks first defensive pairing is a bit overrated with a 90 rating above the likes of Weber (89) and Suter (88). Iginla, Kipper, N. Bäckström and Pitkanen was a few I recall should have a point or two higher ratings.

The game is made in Vancouver, with the lead producer being a huge Canuck fan-boy. Are you really that surprised that they inflate Canuck player ratings?

To be honest though EA hires professional scouts and get their input for player ratings. Otherwise it would be challenging for them to form opinions on all NHL teams along with the AHL, CHL, and Euro leagues.

Least we forget that in the media eyes, and in all honesty the Canucks are a fairly talented team. So they should be having high rated players across here and there. And these overall are based on position and the skills applied to it.
While Luongo at 89 is disputable, he has been able to get results in the regular season. It's when it comes to pressure games that he can faulter.
