Really? Is the fighting that big of a deal to people?

Maybe it's because I am more a fan of the college game where there is no fighting, but the fighting in NHL 13 is probably the very last thing on the list of things I would like to see done with the game.

I would love for it to fully deliver and I am more excited about NHL this year than I have been in the last 4 years. However, I doubt it will win sports game of the year b/c not that many people like hockey even though it is the best sport on the planet. Oh well. NHL will more than likely be great this year.

That's how movement and animations are in every 2ksports title. Overly heavy uniteruptable with exagerated momentum. It drives me crazy.

This seems very possible. And if really true....that'll be a great thing.

Especially for the die hard NHL gamers.

It also depends on what type of sports you like. I don't watch hockey, I wouldn't know what's authentic or not, so it would never be sports game of the year for me.

I expect The Show, NBA 2K13 or Madden 13 to take that award for me.

For me the commentary needs a new overhaul something a little more fresh than Gary and Bill can give us. It was a good run but with NHL moments live you wont hear Gary thorn in an NHL games lets get current and get another pair its time especially next year not going to happen obliviously this year.

They just need a better script and less hokey lines to be honest. There's far worse alternatives out there than Thorne and Clement. ie: Bob Cole and Harry Neale /shudder

Thats what I was getting at, no way fighting should be mentioned, let alone first mentioned in a game that has brand new skating engine and added one of the biggest changes in game modes with gm connected
