My friend and I were having problems yesterday. I got disconnected from XBox Live for about 15 minutes too for some reason.

Anybody preorder from Best Buy and get their goalie boost pack?

Quick internet search shows that it is supposed to be emailed to you but I haven't received my code yet.

Aaaah, somethings never change with the EA NHL servers. Has anyone played online yet? How is the gameplay? Last year I found the skaters to be incredibly slow in not only skating, but passing and reacting to commands. Is it the same?

No I dont think you should draw conclusions from what I am saying here because I was playing with a few of the fatas on PS3 and holy hell I had terrible lag and was going offside and stuff everyone was loling at me. So i think the servers were having problems today but the lag might be our ISP.

WTF.

i am trying the season mode, but am now basically STUCK. the game freezes everytime i try to sim to the first game in November (ie. i can't sim past Oct 29th), the game just freezes and requires a restart.

what am i supposed to do now?!? Quality assurance is quite the joke at EA.

Mine came on a card that was handed to me when I picked it up at Future shop. Best Buy would be the same.

I feel bad, I just had a fight against a girl and I beat her to a pulp. Then again, I was a Canuck so it makes sense that the one time I'd fight, it'd be against a women.

She try to pull your hair or bite you? If so...

Some of the ratings blow my mind in this game

Tavares, Duchene, Eric Johnson at 87
Tyler Myers at 85
Couture, Skinner, Grabner, Ennis at 83-84
Hall, Seguin, Eberle, Paajarvii, Backlund at 81-82

Definitely some guys in that group rated way too high and way too low compared to each other

Byfuglien at 87 cracks me up. He was at 84 last year, which makes sense as it was his first year back playing defense, but now heading into his second year back at D with an 87 when the season has yet to start is odd

Alfredsson at 84. Granted, he had a very off season with injuries last year, but Pronger had an even more rough season and he's still a 90

The rating system has to do with you position i believe, like how last year reggie was an 88 because he had huge checking, def aware, etc as a DFD

While I agree that there are a lot of crazy ratings, the overall is not as accurate as just clicking in and looking at the complete ratings individually.

Be a GM mode is a little suspect... the trades you can make are still absurd. Traded Penner, 1st for Malkin. Traded Williams, 1st + 2nd for Stamko's. Crazy

I agree. After I made that post I was looking into actual numbers on some players and it's a bit more realistic. I keep forgetting it's an average over around 20 different statistics, so it tends to skew the overall ranking. Though even with that said some of those rankings are surprising at first glance

For other people like me who skipped NHL11 and have no idea how to win faceoffs in NHL12:



(It's a vid for NHL11, but it still applies as far as I've seen)

One of the changes is that they've increased the value teams see in 1st round picks.

Don't have the game but from what I understand the freezing is pretty rampant.

Nice work EA. All you have to do now is blame the console or give gamers the run around by asking them to clear their cache.

I haven't froze yet, but I've heard it's bad. When you finish a OTP or EASHL game though, it usually freezes for about 4-8 seconds before it tells you your Position, Team Play and Stats statistics. Which is really annoying because it seems like you're going to freeze and the issues were never there in any of the previous NHL games.

On ps3, navagating between certain menus is painfully slow.

I picked up the game yesterday, and I had huge issues trying to connect to EA servers. Even at 1 in the morning, I still could not connect. So annoying.

Probably tempting fate here, but I had read about that and I have yet to freeze. Fingers crossed.

Has anyone else noticed that the game is incredibly lagging in places? Specifically when you try to make line changes; it takes a good two or three seconds for the displays to come up, and then after that the button lag when shifting is a bit frustrating.

Winnipeg still has their non-descript jerseys at this point too, any word on when EA is gonna release the first update?
