NHL 13 Behind The Scenes Trailer

NHL 13 Behind The Scenes Trailer

Creating true performance skating

Written by Kendrene on 11 August 12 at 13:33

The start of hockey season is still too far away, but Software Engineer Brett Peake takes us on a behind the scenes look at how True Performance Skating was implemented in NHL 13. Driven by real-world physics and more than 1,000 new gameplay animations, including more than a hundred new pivoting animations, this year's edition of EA Sports hockey tries to stay as close as possible to the real deal.



NHL 13 hits store shelves on September 11th for North America and September 14th for the rest of the world.

If there is no hockey due to lockout, this will have to save me.

I was a faithful since the original hockey on Sega. In fact, before that I had Wayne Gretzky hockey on the Amiga. But I haven't bought an NHL title since 08. Ever since I couldn't change lines with a button setup, no reason for me to bother playing. Then they bring it out year after year with the same 1 or 2 tweaks, and then a couple of things I enjoyed missing.

I just returned to Tiger13 after not buying since 09, and I'd give it the same review. Except everything in it is a money grab. Its set up like an iOS game... you can finish it without buying "coins" (really? coins? could it be any more iOS?) but its a huge pain in the sack. Then add in the "online pass" crap so you can't buy it used and there is little wonder EA is on a downward slope.

I love having a popup to BUY courses everytime I try and play with my friends after dropping $60 on a game. Its awesome. Said no one.
