nhl 13 news on uckdaddy.  good video to watch.

 

poke checking and hitting look great, even the forecheck looks dangerous and the dump and chase.  theres figure skating but it seems to be equalized by teh poke check, hitting, and being in the lanes.

 

ironically, it says loose pucks are more abundant, but it seems like having a player in the lane of a pass or loose puck gives immediate control to that player, rather than having ambiguously decided loose pucks.  even after a shot the Offensive F guy near the boards immediately gets the bouncing puck rather than having it continuously bounce for teh D man to arbitrarily pick it up.

 

positional play looks extremely important. 

 

looks good.
