To say thelastfew installments of the NHL series are pretty good is an understatement. Every year EA Canada comes up with great ideas on how to improve their amazing line of hockey games. This year is no different as they're showing off how they've made their AI even better in NHL 12 by being able to better anticipate your next move and react accordingly.
You can get your hands on NHL 12 September 9th in Europe and September 13th in the U.S. for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Hopefully they have improved AI across the board. Opposing AI was never too bad; but I have yet to play a game of NHL10 or NHL11 where my teammates don't get in my damn way when I'm rushing the puck.
I hated when my teammates would be like "I see you rushing the puck and trying to maneuver...let me just get in your way real quick and mess it all up"
