I'm fairly new to Ice Hockey but entirely new to the NHL series despite being a Fifa player since the '95 version! I have to say, I find it far more realistic to hockey than Fifa is to football. The detail is incredible. I was impressed by how much detail there is in the commmentary, they even referred to the last game I played and what a certain player did in it. The arena announcer announces scorers and assists. Overall it's an incredibly realistic experience.
Regarding gameplay, it was tricky at first even on rookie level, but I got the hang of defending and there is a great satisfaction to be had in scoring although it often takes a lot of shooting to score but I'd rather it be a challenge than for it to be easy to score. There's also a great variety of goals that can be scored. A minor issue I found was that I never got powerplays. In about 50 games as Sudbury Wolves I got 2 or 3 powerplays. However, since starting an NHL season on Pro level I've had a few more and the opposition is far more physical on that level. Saying that, I've found that very few fights occur during a game.
There's a great number of options for game modes but it's a shame there's no career or manager mode, only a single season mode. The winter classic is great (and an easy trophy) but I haven't played online very much and I've had problems connecting with both NHL and Fifa. The GM mode could be good but a drawback is that if you don't have many friends who play NHL (which is likely in the UK) then I'm not sure there's a way to enter that mode of play.
I give this 5 stars and it's highly addictvie but if they added the British Elite League, I'd add some metaphorical stars!

A great game. Finally it is a match for FIFA in terms of graphics and gameplay. On the graphics side the presentation is much better than before with relatively close player likenesses instead of generic faces for all but the top stars; there have been subtle changes to the lighting which makes everything look more realistic; the cut scenes actually match where the players were on the ice and what they were doing; Martin Brodeur's mask is the official one!; the Winter Classic looks stunning and it is great to be able to pick your favourite team and have them on the main menu. Gameplay-wise the True Performance Skating gives a completely different feel to everything you try to do in terms of offence and defence. Once mastered it's a massive improvement over previous NHL's. As far as shooting goalie's can be scored on more easily in some ways and not as easily in others. Five-hole shots will work now while cross-creasers aren't a sure-fire goal anymore. The hitting seems to have been toned down and this goes for colliding with goalies where it won't automatically lead to a penalty with so much ease as it did in NHL 12. A new feature is the Chop Puck which is a brilliant addition; great for keeping the puck away from the opposition more effectively than the poke check or even to pass to team-mates. NHL Live Moments is an old idea but new to NHL and it makes for some interesting challenges. The game isn't perfect but it's undoubtedly the best-looking and best simulated version of a hockey game there's ever been. About a thousand times better than NHL 12 that's for sure.

This is a good game, much better than the other NHL games previously. Not being the biggest NHL fan I don't really understand the career mode due to the draft picks etc. Read more
