WTF, I was playing Be A Pro and in the action tracker it showed Kotalik's picture as Daymond Langkow.

I was playing Be a GM and simmed a season. I traded Holmstrom to the Avs for two 2012 Avalanche first round picks. Yes they were the same pick....one wasn't a pick that originally belonged to another team. That was strange. By the end of deadline day I had 5 first round picks from trading old pending UFAs.

The number of injuries seems ridiculous even turned down to the lowest setting.

Rating overalls don't seem to matter much to me. Wayne isn't going to check or defend s whole lot, so it doesn't make sense that he'd have a high rating for that, and since defense is half the game it's going to bring down his overall.

Seems to be playing fine. No glaring differences other than better replays, and a cool EXP tally at the end of each game (for both your player and team).

As always, everyone is pretty brutal to start out with and passing can be a bitch with low stats.

with the pre-release NHL 12, will I need to redo my custom soundtracks/rosters when the full game comes out?

I really like this game more than any of them in the past, but I seem to be absolutely terrible at taking the puck away from the other player and it seems that he can do it so easy. Why am I so bad?

The legends thing is a gimmick but I'm totally putting Lemieux on the Flames to play with Iggy.

Pure speculation here, but my guess is you just transfer a game save. The pre release is basically the full game, so it would (should) be no different than renting the game, starting up a franchise (settings included) and then buying the game and loading the save. Perhaps it's more complicated than that, but I hope it's not.

It's getting solid reviews across the board. Only have one afternoon class tomorrow so LOTS of time to check it out afterwards Should be a good day!

Looking forward to guys like Ennis and Gerbe being rated much better than last year

I see you're not too familiar with collections agencies.

They stopped renting out games/movies as soon as it was announced they were closing nation wide. All you can do is buy there now.

DownGoesBrown reviews NHL 12: http://www.downgoesbrown.com/2011/09/nhl-12-review.html

A couple of gems:

Quote:
Features:
As always, the game is extremely customizable. Gamers can control the volume of sound effects and crowd noise, although when playing as Toronto the volume of the music can only be adjusted by Dion Phaneuf.
Quote:
Cheats and Easter Eggs:
Finally, when you play for the first time the game will search your hard drive for any saved game files from NHL09. If it finds any, it will take the most pathetic team in the league and import half their roster as this year's Calgary Flames.
