Hi all,

Is anybody playing NHL 13 on the PS3 on the forum. It's probably the game that gets 95% of my playing time on the console.

Be good to play against some fellow forum users.

Cheers
 
Does it make you sit around doing nothing for half the season whilst the union and team owners argue over money? :)
 
Lol, at least the real thing gets started this weekend.

I'd been played NHL11 before this, and this is certainly an improvement. The true performance skating works well, and the goalies are a lot tougher.
 
It is.

Jumped from 09 to 13 myself, after reading enough on how it'd changed.

All the stuff/options are simply staggering, a complete cliff face for a guy like me. Harder yes, nicer looking with smoother aliasing, the real deal.

Don't play it much online though, the norm is one day off work a week, takes an effort to find the time:(
 
Got this earlier today, well not on purpose, I went to buy NHL 12 because that was £15 (NHL 13 was £30) get home and open the NHL 12 box to find an NHL 13 disc, I don't think I'll be going back telling them they made a mistake :D.

But anyway, just had a quick go and it does seem pretty damn awesome for someone into their ice hockey. Unfortunately that someone is not me, I know zero about ice hockey, literally nothing, the last hockey game I played a lot was NHLPA on the mega drive, which was of course a simple representation of the sport.

So what are the basics I need to know? I'm not looking for and A to Z of hockey, i'll pick up most as I play, but is there anything I kinda need to know to give me a better idea of what I'm doing? Lineups, they're essentially the hockey version of substitutes right? Does the game do these itself or do I need to choose when to do them manually? Control, is there a control method that's accepted as being the best? I'm trying to avoid classic controls because I imagine I'll lose too much of what the game is about by trying to make it that simple. Basically any tips you would give to a noob of the sport let alone the series of games, I am just that noob, so fire away if you have anything :).
 
I finally got it on Saturday as a get well from your operation present, along with a raspberry pi.

Loving the game, but I suck at faceoffs. Any hints?
 
Was looking to pick this up but but may wait until 14 comes out as I have certifications to study for at the mo.
Apart from the NHL13 demo on PS3 the last one I owned was NHL 98 on the PC...
