I'll admit, guys... I'm a bit surprised by the kindly put negative feedback on this game. No one here is trying to be mean about it, but this title is going downhill. Why do I feel like we have some smart people here who watch a lot of hockey and understand the concepts we want to see from a real game incorporated into this title, yet EA never seems to see it that way?... It's a shame...

The game will never be what the hardcore fans want it to be and if that's what anyone's hoping for, you might as well stop playing now. It will always be a balancing act between realism and arcadish. I'm not disapointed in NHL 12 really. It's too much like the previous games, which for the most part I have enjoyed enough to get my moneys worth at least.

bc im not sure those guys even watch hockey and take notes on what they can make better etc. you never see any blogs showing real clips and then how it works in their game etc. they never comment on nothing from an actual nhl game!! heck, they havent commented on anything really for a long while now.

I only play 1v1 online and the game is not that fun for me this year. I havent played in a week just kind of waiting on a tuner set and this is what they come up with? Pretty disappointing.

I want to see more loose pucks. The stick lift is still comedic and checking will rarely seperate the puck from the puck carrier. If the attacker doesn't get hit to the ice he will keep the puck on his stick.

Re: NHL 12 Tuner Update v1.02 Released, Details Included

Well somebody at the community day supplied them with a bunch of BS for testing and "tuning advice".

I was told by a developer(EA forum), that people were complaining about the passing last year,so the pass reception ease IS jacked up in NHL12. Jacked up so high the sliders won`t allow for a more looser passing game.
Blistering passes to guys 4 feet away are recieved like butter.
Total NOOBFEST!
So I`m sure puck control is jacked up higher than last year too.

I asked them for a big reduction in pass reception ease and puck control

It`s why online is garbage too.With all the 99 attributes the game doesn`t know WTF to do.

Christ,.....the NHL part of the game doesn`t even use players with 99 everything as the tuning for every player,....if it did,it would play like the online garbage does too.

If you have a FPS and everyone has a cloak of invisibility and is in GOD mode,.....just WTF is the point?

This may be the single most confusing post you have made, and that may be saying a good bit.

So, because they haven't gone all Shanahan for you, they don't know what they are talking about?

Your trolling has been amusing up until this point, because you normally at least attempt to back your statements up with something resembling evidence. Please do not continue this line of thinking on these forums, as it is not appreciated, or tolerated.

I think the proof is in the pudding about what they think of us offline guys. We have been shafted for years so they can put out EASHL, BAP and then HUT, the laughable thing is those modes are a joke and people still aren't happy with them.

This year i really had doubts about whether to get the game but i caved and i have to say its a bit of a half arsed effort from EA, Is it a coincidence that now there are no competitors in the Hockey gaming market EA have let things slip? who knows but what i do know is that they released a game that was a bugfest and was freezing like a bitch for a lot of consumers. It just isn't good enough in fact its pretty ****ing cheeky if you ask me. To release a game with this many issues and still expect people to pay extra for dlc is a joke.

I really cant see myself playing this until it is patched. Like the past 3 years when i first started playing i though it was great but then as time wears on the old problems rear their ugly head.

Why do the same issues remain for years on end?

Re: NHL 12 Tuner Update v1.02 Released, Details Included

seems like they use very basic feedback, then tweak their numbers under the hood a bit and that it. so frustrating that my favorite sport only gets made by these guys.

Blame 2k for not putting enough resources into NHL2k to compete and keep up. While there are factors with EA's game that annoy me and could be far better, 2k dug their own grave with the lack of focus and serious effort they've shown over the last 4 or 5 years.

They need to fix the goals that can always be scored on from the face off circle on the goalies right. EVERY shot the CPU takes from there, goes in the net. It's so frustrating when you're having a good game, and the CPU skates to the face off circle, and no matter your defense, shot goes in.

Has EA "dumbed" down the game this year to a more arcade level?? I still haven't seen this "player specific attribute" thing (Crosby plays like Crosby, etc). Is there a tuner that can possible fix these issues???

As much as i bitch and moan about EA NHL's issues there is no denying you are bang on with this.

Thanks, while I have been very vocal about my disappointment with 2k over the last few years, there were elements that I enjoyed very much. The arenas looked awesome, 3 man booth even though the commentary delivery wasn't very natural sounding (sounded like they were reading off the script directly when recording lines)

Where 2k faltered was focus and execution, NHL2k6 on 360's nasty shrug goal, the franchise freezes year in year out, the clunky controls (which really is a staple of 2k sports to begin with including MLB's pitching and some of NBA's controls imo)

Had they simplified controls like EA did while still allowing the analog for shooting and dekeing rather than button presses, and had a simple yet deep one on one deke system rather then the god awful Ovi dekes, they may have hung on for another year or two and got back on their feet. I know their are people that liked Prostick, especially 2k8's version of it but for me, if any sports game makes me feel like a contortionist while playing, that doesn't yell out intuitive to me.

Really it all comes down to a huge corporation in Take Two, not allowing the sports line with the exception of NBA the funds needed to flourish and seriously give EA a reason to fix all the outstanding, some being long standing at that gripes we have with the game currently. (The sim engine, the lack of calls, the obvious focus on EASHL and online and adding game modes rather than seriously polishing the modes they already have, GM especially)

Apologies to QB for going way off topic but I would like to see more than one hockey game on the market, while in the grand scheme competition matters little really, choice is a great thing.

Re: NHL 12 Tuner Update v1.02 Released, Details Included

I always believe competition breeds quality. Ever since the 2k football series went under, the Madden series quality went down as well. I've been afraid this would happen with the Hockey series, and I feel it is happening now.

I just hope they can address a lot of these issues with a tuner and patch. (does EA even read these forums anymore?)

Re: NHL 12 Tuner Update v1.02 Released, Details Included

I just don't believe in the whole competition bit anymore. EA Hockey stepped it up, what happened to 2K? NBA 2K stepped up, where's NBA Live? The Show has been quite good and MLB 2K remains barely playable. So to say that competition makes games better is a crock. Plain and simple it comes down to resources and execution.
