Re: NHL 14 Demo Available Now For 360, Later Today For PS3 - Post Your Impressions He
the new controls take some getting used to, but its a big improvement know you won't accidentally do a pokecheck now or vice versa
there are still times where if you get too close to the puck and try it wont trigger the animation or it will perform a slower animation where you whiff on the chop
I've found the chop is now a good move to use for defenseman if a puck is dumped in around the boards and you dont look like you will have time to pick it up and pass. I just chop it to keep on going thru to the other side now and it works great
I think high level players will find some good uses for it moving around players in the neutral and offensive zones this year now that it is somewhat reliable
now that it's consistent I think it can be move useful as a weapon in the neutral zone

Not that NHL 13 was broken in any way, it was an awesome game, but I notice 0 difference between NHL 13 and the NHL 14 demo. The anniversary mode is a huge waste of resources, other than the blue ice, star indicator and the controls (which you could play in previous versions), nothing is different and not sure why they wasted time on making this mode. The game will be good, but I wonder how much a new version is justified.Comment

Feels like 13 with easier way to hit and new way to fight.
Poke checking is toned down.
Seems like you freeze sometimes after delivering a hit
Sometimes i can't get the puck off someone no matter what i do
Teammate A.I. is still bad
I wish they had replays in (seems like they do this to hide problems)Last edited by TDNY; 08-20-2013, 10:29 AM.NY Giants | NY Rangers | NYC FC | Favorite Fighters

Are your AI teammates any better at getting open and giving you passing options in the offensive zone this year?
Last year it seemed like every forward without the puck was almost always stuck in a net battle.Originally posted by bradtxmaleI like 6 inches. Its not too thin and not too thick. You get the support your body needs.

So I have to ask.
On the higher difficulties, do the CPU controlled players play according to their attributes?
Or do we still see 4th liners sniping goals and threading needles?Comment

Skating is much more fluid.. scored with 10 seconds left on a deke by Kane.. I'm glad they are easier now.
Fights are pretty cool, you can't just fight anyone.
The presentation and all are the same, but the skating is definitely much more fluid.Comment

Ok just played first game, I was Bos. Ok the game is good so far. Skating felt great. First play that occured Kane tried the Cpu rap around and I killed him with Chara no goal great hit. AI does stay in place I even noticed Hjalmarson cycling in low on offense for the hawks.
So I figured big whoop new fights... Boy was I wrong they are fun and some spontaneuos others not. Had two fights in first game. Wow Wow Wow Fun Fun Fun. Looked and played right.
Both fights were kinda random pairings however. First Loui Erickson fought Seabrook I lost but it is fun. Erickson had clearly visible bruises on his forehead after the fight.
Second up I hit Toews with bergeron kinda late and kinda a double team. We dropped. I lost again but not by mutch for the second time.
In the end I was standing and chanting fight. So way to go EA you may have brought some life back to the game.Comment

Watching Kevin's demo gameplay video in the media thread, I saw two instances of impossible across-the-body one-timers from the point (one @ 3:10 on the goal). While the shots are somewhat weaker than a properly executed one-timer, they're still far too powerful.
There's no way to get that kind of speed on a shot from that shooting position. In tight, you can re-direct a puck using the speed of the pass -- I think that's what the animation is intended for -- but from the outside it should trigger a stop & shoot animation that requires the D-man to turn his body.Comment

Yeah, I reacted on that same shot. Way to hard for being a shot delivered like that.
Thank you EA - This game is officially better than sexComment

I want those animations back so badly. Just make my guy stop and adjust to corral the pass or even take it in the skates and kick it up to his stick so I can chip it down low or pass it back. Don't let me take some wacky looking one-time shot.Comment

Does the AI support better defensively during boardplay?Comment
