damn, I just played the 104st overall guy.  Well, maybe 10 minutes of the first period.  Score was 0-0 but he played like a bitch, so I got out.  Basically, any time he rushed up the ice, he'd put the stick on his backhand and then pass it, there's NO way to defend it.  NHL players do do that, but not every fucking pass.  I'll admit he had more time on attack and maybe more shots, but he also exploited the game pretty hardcore.  Ah well.  Like I said before, if you wanna see what NHL 13 is gonna be like, put it on superstar mode.  won't be any different against human players.  it's not a different game than nhl 12 in that difficulty, either. doesn't play any differently. maybe more animations and stuff, but the overall feel is basically untouched.
