NHL 12 Blog - Be a GM Improvements

well, at least the action tracker will let me get through some seasons. bc playing this game every day on the ice so to speak starts to suck and get stale. maybe having that tracker will keep me more invested into the seasons.

That's very true. That is why I'm hoping that this game will be better gameplay wise. If the gameplay is better then it will make BaGM a little bit better. I normally try to play all 82 games but it's nearly impossible just because of the gameplay getting boring. Maybe once I actually try out the action tracker, it will be a cool improvement.

If the player separation is really in this game then that should make a difference in the game not being stale.

I was actually thinking the same thing Bwiggy.

If the gameplay is really involving, it'll really help to make some possible disappointments about features not gotten to, easier to deal with.

Two nice additions.

Wow, I'm surprised they added suspensions. The other leagues seem to be pretty sensitive when it comes to having that in their games.

When an improved Sim Engine & Retired Jerseys are being talked about as being the big additions to a career mode we know we're in trouble. It's not like the NHL series has been pushing the boundaries of possibilities of GM mode since its incarnation. The mode remains woefully thin & poorly presented when compared to other similar modes found in the likes of The Show & NBA 2K.
We can only hope EA have more news to bring, but with no competition in the genre this year, I have my doubts.
