    AI creeps closer to realistic play

    EA Sports released a new video today for their upcoming hockey title, NHL 12, detailing the game's "Anticipation AI". This new AI allows computer-controlled skaters to anticipate the flow of play so that they can more appropriately respond to both offensive and defensive situations.

    In the video, NHL 11 reactions are compared to those which you'll find in NHL 12

    To see further enhancements from this year's iteration of the NHL franchise, check out the Be a Pro Mode trailer which was released last week.

    NHL 12 will be released on September 9th in Europe and September 13th in North America.

    Isn't this something that EA promises every year? Smarter AI. Or is it just me?
    If you don't like what I have to say, you can fuck right off.

    The new features in NHL 12 are all well and good, but I think the question the most people want answered is not if the AI can anticipate movements, but whether or not the new Winnipeg Jets will be in the game. Since the Atlanta Thrashers are no more, it would make no sense to include them in a game that is a simulation of current professional hockey.

    As long as the AI is smarter with those cheap one-timers we all know and love (and yes, i'm guilty too lol), then it's a step up in my books.

    Yes the Jets are going to be in the Game. All EA needs to do is just create the jersey (which i bet they are pleased True North to show them so they can do so), create the Jets type material such as the logo on an arena and Presto! The Winnipeg Jets
