It's ok, nice change of pace, but it definitely has it's flaws. Tonight i decided to put in NHL, and man, it is such a clunky game experience. the controls are so unresponsive, instead of creating lose puck physics, they just created the "if a stick check is in a X feet range, just auto force contact".
Took 2 online vs games to remind me that NHL 13 is a pretty bad game.

It has its strengths, but it's far from a real simulator especially for the defense. They clearly put all the work into the offense and as someone who plays defense only it's pretty annoying. Standing along the boards on the point to receive a pass and your stick is hovering inside the boards, trying to stand in front of the net and push people around is nearly impossible, even facing the way you want is damn near impossible.
If you want to stay square to the puck carrier it's nearly impossible, the d-man turns around at random in the defensive zone and when you see an odd man rush coming 5 seconds away and you are skating straight back in the neutral zone to catch the guy on the breakout pass it's literally impossible to make your skater turn around and skate fast to catch him so you'll get blown by even when you are playing perfect because the idiot d-man won't turn around. All of that kind of ruined it for me.
