Here's some of my wishlist items to add to NHL 12.
One of my #1 wishes for the NHL series was to add real goalie helmets, but the producers already stated that they would have to go through a crazy amount of legal clearance with the artists of the helmets.
Other than that, I would like to see the ability for the net to come off its moorings, but not overdone. Maybe 3-4 times per game.
Wouldn't mind the addition of the KHL and NCAA hockey, but I can see how that would take an extensive amount of legal effort to implement it into the game. But hey, you never know, they added the CHL and European leagues.
Also, Bill Clement and Gary Thorne do a good job. But I would like some new lines. They've been the same for the last 3 or 4 years now and it's getting old. Just adding a dozen new lines a year isn't good.
And foremost, a complete and total revamping of the goalie moves, physics, etc. They've done good in adding some new animations, but while the players have quite fluent motions, the goalies aren't.
Finally, add realistic coaching staff and the ability in Be A GM mode to fire and hire coaches, scouting staff, trainers, etc.
