NHL 13

NHL 13 is the continuator of the tradition of one of the oldest brands in the gaming market in the field of sports simulators. It was released twenty years after the first game in the series. It is no wonder that the developers at EA Sports decided to celebrate this occasion by adding many new elements to the gameplay.

The goal of the games in the series remains unchanged for years, of course. The player is to lead the hockey team to victory in the Stanley Cup. To achieve this, the developers gave at the player's disposal a number of gameplay modes – from individual matches, career mode, to an opportunity to compete with other fans of the series via the Internet.

NHL 13 puts an emphasis on an even greater realism. With the introduction of the True Performance Skating feature, based on an advanced physics engine and over 1,000 physical collision animations, EA Sports managed to show the dynamics of today's hockey tournaments much more realistically. Dynamic feints at full speed have never looked so good. By using the Hockey IQ technology, the hockey players show greater initiative on the ice rink. They no longer pay attention solely to the character who is in possession of the hockey puck, but also take into the overall situation which allows them to respond better and faster. This also allows for better coordination of the team in of the strategy and tactics it uses. The players can customize certain behaviors of each of the players, as well as those of the entire team.
