Key Features:
Full Contact Physics Engine
Size and Strength matter
Size and strength matter like never before in NHL®12. Large players will be able to dominate smaller opponents in front of the net and in the corners. Smaller players will bounce off of larger, stronger opponents when they try and hit them.
Full Balance Control
NHL®12 improves its authenticity as powerful skaters will be able to absorb hits and continue to drive to the net, just like their real life counterparts. Players who are hit might stumble to their knees, catch themselves with their hands as they fall, or simply shrug off checks.
Everything is live
NHL®12 brings you some of the most exciting moments in hockey with the Full Contact Physics Engine. Now you can hit players into the bench, break the glass with a hit or a shot, and knock the net off its moorings.
All-New Net Battles
NHL®12 continues to innovate by giving you control over the battles in the crease. Bigger forwards will be able to plant themselves in front of the goalie for screens and larger defensemen will be able to drive smaller forwards out of the crease. Users will be given total control, by choosing to spin off their check to get in position, or use their size and strength to overpower the opposition.
Hitter vulnerability
Make sure you choose your hits wisely in NHL®12, as mistimed or mismatched hits will be costly. Try and hit a larger opponent and you will be likely to pay the price yourself. Hitters can fall over, just like the person they hit, meaning that a mistimed or mismatched hit can you leave you out of position and cost your team.
Full Balance Control
Drive the Net
In NHL®12, powerful skaters will be able to drive to the net and shrug off ill-timed hits by defensemen along the way.
Size and Strength Matter
In NHL®12, use big, powerful players to your advantage, as they will be able to dominate smaller players and absorb hits from less physical players with minimal impact.
Recover from hits
