NHL 12 Video - 2 More Legends, Patrick Roy and Jeremy Roenick

[FBeaule04]

It's just another proof of a good idea that is develop the EA's way : Half-assed!

I hope a member of the dev. team will come and explain to us what's the difference between creating Mario Lemieux themselves and playing with him on any team with creating Mario Lemieux myself and playing with him on any team?

Once it's done, I would like him to explain me how it's a game changing features and how in the hell it's going to change the way I play their game?

Some don't want people to blast EA for nothing, but geez, this summer, all they do (Legends, Broken glass, goalies fight, helmet popping out) is asking for punches in the face.

EA, for christ sake, help us making like you, not wanting to beat you like we are Mike Tyson!

The NHL devs don't post anymore and who can blame them when a good portion of a vocal minority are out right insulting.

First thing I'm going to do with Roy is try and pick a fight with Jimmy Howard. Add him to the list of Detroit goalies he has fought.

Oh come on, nobody was that bad and you know it. Maybe if he took a peek in here this year they wouldn't have thought that goalie fights was the "most requested feature"

I know they don't and I understand why. I'm in communication and I feel for people who have to go public to explain decision taken higher and that you can't explain without looking like a moron.

Just take a look at what NBA 2K12 will offer as legends. That's what I said about doing something half-*** in comparison of doing it seriously. NBA 2K12 will give 15 legends and 30 historical team. NHL 12 will offer 9 legends!

EA can eat alive Take Two any time of the day if they way, but all they seems to be able to do, is take a good idea and develop it at 50% but since it's in the game, it's ok.

The NHL team at EA are just like Alexandre Daigle was in the NHL. Full of talent and ressources, but don't seem to like what they do, so they do it to make money.

Yeah, and it was not surprising to to Fiddy humping FB's leg for that post.

I think calling the Legends mode underwhelming and not fully fleshed out is fair. But trying to say the devs did not put a hell of a lot of heart and sod into the gameplay improvements, which is supposedly what people here really want, is rubbish.

For not caring about the Legends, there sure a a hell of a lot of opinions on how it was done wrong. I'd love to see it done as well as 2K's NBA game. But it seems likethey focused more on AI, improving the physics, and creating front of the net battles.

I'll throw Legends in with the goalie fights and Breaking Glass as stuff for trailers that might move product, but doesn't really do anything for me.

Luckily, they have shown and talked about a ton of gameplay improvements that hardcore fans should be excited about. But there is a growing faction of gamers that grew up on obnoxious sports talk radio, and don't have the ability to think critically. There is no other explanation for how much they ignore the long list of gameplay improvements the devs have talked about.
