"My balls are all up in my sternum, I have just been diagnosed with the clap, My pet fish died, my wife fell down the stairs needs a hip replacement, my daughter is a porn star, and I just found out I have two gay fathers....But still pleasure to be here"
I love NHL 13. Think it's the most realistic game to date.
A lot of people just don't like change. Most of the complaints I've seen in the NHL 13 thread are based around people simply not being good at the game (passing sucks, can't navigate the offensive zone without losing the puck to a pokecheck, allow so many breakaways).
This is true and false, good and bad....
True in that much of it is more realistic, but a big part is ridiculous. I made a 'perfect player' in be a pro (99 on everything) to try it out, and the guy still gets knocked on his butt anytime someone touches him. It's not so much just that the guys fly all over the place when they get a hip check, it's that they fly all over the place all the time. Anytime you are on open ice it's like everyone is Scott Stevens and knocks you on your face, even if from the slightest graze or coming up from behind. It gets really frustrating after a while
Realism, it is great...to an extent.
Sometimes I want to be able to score 12 goals on the Rangers and laugh. That's part of the fun about video games. I dont want video games to be completely realistic. Could you imagine a completely realistic MW2? Your guy would have heat stroke and need to spend 5 minutes hydrating before the 1st checkpoint and instead of recovering from an injury by running away and hiding for 10 seconds, you would need a MEDEVAC.
Sometimes too much realism takes out some of the fun.

Also, Marty really sucks in NHL13...what gives?
All depends on what you're looking for. I like realism.
What are your hitting settings on? I have hit power at zero usually, on hardocre game style. Hitting assistance far down as well.
Let's see the PS3 bros win their September playoff
I don't even know if anyone on ps3 is even playing. At least I've seen almost no one doing so in a while.

Only online.... suuuuuure.
I've only played a handful of games online. Only time I really got destroyed is when I chose the Red Bulls and the "team of similar ability" that I was matched up with was Manchester City

can someone with limited soccer knowledge/interest play this game online with ease?
Yes, but it will take a little time. You don't need to know everything about the sport, as you can easily pick up what you need to know playing the game. But to an extent, you'll have to develop a bit tactically. If you try to move the ball around like it's a hockey team would set up its offense, you won't get too far. But you get a better idea of what does and doesn't work/how players move off the ball by playing a few games and working from there.
EASHL is such a blast with human goalies if both are good
Just recently started playing goalie.
12 starts
7wins
.871 sv% ( not bad really if you're fimilar with the online stats )
2.043 G.A.A
4 shutouts ( should be 5 shutouts but a team quit with 2 seconds left in a 2-0 game...*******s)
I dropped my empty FIFA case onto the floor, causing it to bounce and barely nick the edge of my 360 while FIFA was loading... And now I have two circular scratches around my FIFA disk - one near the outside, one near the inside...
The good news is that the game loads all the way up to the "Press Start" menu, so tomorrow I can rent a copy for a few bucks, install it onto my 360 hard drive, and should be able to play from the hard drive since the disk is at least recognized and can boot up.
Still, an empty 360 case that barely clips the edge of the system shouldn't cause gamebreaking scratches.
