Re: NHL 13 Overhauls Its Trade Interface

I pretty much agree with this. I just think there's more to it than just the puck control slider. Then again I'm certainly no developer either.

No doubt there is more to it. I couldn't even begin to talk about developing because I have no idea what it takes but it just seems like something that couldn't be terribly hard to implement. Not to mention 2k but it is something that was in 2k8 and 2k10 where stick handling wasn't just automatic. Players would actually lose the puck if they tried to do too much. That's all I want to see. Stick handling is one of the hardest things to master in hockey, which is why the sport is so amazing. If it was easy than anyone off the street would play hockey. By playing NHL you just get the feeling that stick handling is super easy because any player in the game can do it.

Anyway we really got off topic so back to the trading interface....

The NHL development team also opened up about other changes its made since we saw the game a couple months ago. Based on early fan feedback on NHL 13’s direction, the development team also decided to change the player ratings to create more of a gap between the star players and the average skaters in the league. Franchise player like Sidney Crosby are still rated in the 90s, but the average ratings of third-line defenders are in the mid-70s instead of the low-80s this year.

Glad to hear it. Here's to hoping they have time to add a bit more feedback with CPU gm's on trade offers.

This is great news, if they fix the goalie issues of last year we could be in for some great simulation hockey this year.
