I give this game a 9 overall, this is a solid hockey game. The graphics are really good and the gameplay is better than NHL 12. I thought it was cool how EA integrates the raising of the banner for the Stanley Cup Champions in there hockey games, maybe madden or nba would look at the NHL series and see that and integrate that feature. All in all though I would have to say I was impressed with the overall quality of this game,,, It makes me look forward to NHL 14 and beyond.....

The hits are so unrealistic, the music is bad, it glitches way too much, goals are to impossible, laggy, boring, game modes not fun. These are just some of many characteristics of NHL 13.

This game i love it i bought it like 3 months ago. The graphics and all the dekeing and skating motions make it like real, if they could do anything better make it more like a actual hockey grind make it harder to control the puck. sometimes i feel like their is to much space to carry the puck. But the doesn't mean the other teams is like an all star at scoring goals. just a real nhl grind. But i do think u should get the demo before purchase.

Well, they took a lot of the fun out of the game. From skating right over the puck like it was not there to controls feeling to slow. I loved 2012 was really fun online now it feels like i am playing at a slow pace. Im sorry i think EA has made a great game into an okay game. Many things need to change for this game to make it better like the stupid slamming into the goal an knocking him out of position an the random skating over the puck an not getting it. So this game can be fun but a lot of dumb things just ruin it for me.

This game is perfect for: casual gamers
Let me first say I did not play NHL12 but i have played older fairly recent NHL games from EA. In past games the players would move unrealistically fast and top goal scorers could 1 time shots to the back of the net most of the time. In NHL 12 you have to pay attention to your player's abilities and get deep into team management to have an affective and successful team. I got this game for 1 reason....to play the Hershey Bears full AHL season. AWESOME! Even has the new Hershey jerseys. The player skating movements are very realistic tho sometimes a little glitchy, the hits could be better (almost a delay with players getting put down) and just following a goal there is a delay with player celebrations, which is weird because even NHL95 on Sega Genesis had more instant celebrations when goals were scored.......COMON DEVELOPERS! Patch maybe? Also the soundtrack is good, but not very long so it gets repetitive. These small things aside you will enjoy this game for the realism and although it may seem difficult to maneuver your players, once you get a little practice in you will be able to score goals and move your players like a pro.

The computer players move much better than yours as you're playing. The new skating is cool but they have a lot of kinks to work out before 14 comes out. Hard to keep up with the opposition while skating backwards because of horrible transitions.

This is the worst NHL game ever made. They took the fun out of the game by making it harder to hit people, harder to score, and harder to pass. I have NHL 13 but never play it because NHL 12 is ten times better.

Don't listen to those bad reviews. If you liked NHL 12, then you will love this game ten times more. If you are a big NHL fan like I am, then this game is perfect for you. If you liked NHL 12 's features, then you will LOVE these features. With all new performance skating, it just makes the game closer to real life. So, don't listen to those negative reviews, because this game is the best NHL so far. I also recommend Madden 13 and NCAA Football 13

Overall i liked the game, gameplay and sound+ graphics are great. i liked the new skateing system and it makes the game more realistic. Be a pro moode is a bit more realistic but needs more work. What i didnt like is the play in front of the net how two players tangle up and it seems like your locked in and you cant move. Almost impossible to have deflection goals. I also didnt like the hits in the game sometimes when you hit your player falls backwards or down even if it was a good hit. Your future nhl games i would like to see better celabrations after scoring a goal. Another thing is your player doesnt get to hold the cup if you win it.

I feel like NHL 13 when you go to hit people you miss so much that you dont even hit and when you go to shoot you dont even get it on goal it just randomly goes away and in NHL 12 it was phenominal i was a pure goal scorer and they had hitting the goalie now you dont which is bad and skating like they poke check it or not the puck goes away they took away the after the whistle brawl it rarely happens and also its more of a 2k sports game which isnt good but madden 13 is better but nhl 13 is not they need to bring back more things from nhl 12

Worst NHL game I've played in the past 20 years (yes, since NHLPA '93 Sega Genesis). There really is not too much to like about it. Game is full of bugs that will never be fixed, and plays like complete garbage. If you like getting your $60/80 worth, look elsewhere. I was foolish enough to dish out 80 for the SC edition. Fool me once.

i went against my better judgement and dropped 60$ for this game. I have played nhl10, 11, and 12. This is by far the worst of them all. The new physics engine is a disgrace, the gameplay is utterly slow, the goalies have somehow all become 5 star goalies, the passing sucks, and you can pretty much take away a puck or lose it if the other guy bumps you a little bit. The sound and graphics are on par and are excellent however my biggest issue is online. I have played 10 game online, out of those games ive won 3 and lost 2, the other 5 games have been a joke, out of those 5 games i have been in the lead, poised to win, and out played the opponent however either the connection was lost or i was disconnected from the ea servers and out of those 5 games even though ive been in the lead the game has dropped and i ended up losing all 5 of those games. Nothing makes me more frustrating then playing 5 straight games, leading, then randomly in the 3rd period i get disconnected and all my effort is lost, and I have t1 cable so i know my connection is not bad. Online is probably the worst aspect of this game. Overall this game is just horrible IMO, its more irritating then enjoyable, the gameplay sucks, its ridiculously slow (out of 10 games neither i or an opponent has scored more then 2 goals, that shows you the type of gameplay you are looking forward to, and most games were 1-0). the goalies and players are extrememly inconsistent, and on top of that the ranking system is so vague now for the teams instead of a 0-100 rating system its based on stars, every team is pretty much ranked 3.5-5 stars in ever catergory but it doesnt state specifics, so a team like LA the stanley cup champs have the same rating as florida or buffalo, its ridiculous. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY. stick with nhl12 like i should of or just take a year off of playing nhl and wait for nhl14.

For years those of us that play sports video games have been screaming for those games to be more realistic. Well, with this installment of EA Sports NHL series we have what is the most realistic hockey video game ever. It is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, and there are glitches and flaws in it that I will get to in a moment, but as for what we have had in the past, this game comes as close to being a true on ice experience, and that comes from someone that has played and coached hockey most of his life. As for the good in this game, EA has really improved the AI and the logic in which they use on the ice. The AI adapts to your style of play and makes every move that you have done before so much tougher to pull off. Going into a game you can’t plan on doing one more each and every time you enter your opponent’s zone for you will be stopped with great frequency. The skating is more true to life than ever before. No longer can you dance through your opponents like they are cones out there without losing your control or not being able to cut sharp enough to get by them. It will take you some time to get used to the new skating physics and you will be frustrated and miss out on a lot of loose pucks and missed checks, but once you get the hang of it you will love it. As for the Be a GM Mode, EA has made it so much more in-depth than in the past when it comes to trades. When proposing a trade you will be able to see what players fit the criteria your trade partner is looking for that you will not waste countless time like in the past proposing trades that will never happen. There is bad in this game though, so do not think this game is picture perfect. For one, when I said you will miss pucks and checks due to the new skating, the AI never does. Also, when it comes to scoring goals, while EA has made it much tougher for you to score, there seems to be pre-determined spots on the ice that every time the AI fires a shot on net from them it goes in no matter how good your goalie is or how bad the AI shooter is. To cut to the chase, goals still make no sense at times. When it comes to penalties, you will think that the refs are out to get you by the amount of penalties you get compared to the computer opponent. That might just come from my style of play, but I can do the exact thing the AI does and I end up in the sin bin and they get away free. Finally, before some spout off about it, yeah the rosters do have some errors in them, but with the lockout and all, that comes with the territory. I do like this game and I do think it is a huge step forward from EA Sports, but there is still room for improvement. With that being said though, if you want a game that is the closest thing to being a true to life hockey game, this one is it.
