NHL 12 Showing Better Puck Support
What your teammates do when they don't have the puck is just as important as what the puck carrier does when he's got it on his stick. NHL 12 developer EA Canada is trying to make your teammates smarter and more effective in supporting the play.
This new video features NHL 12 producer Sean Ramjagsingh talking – and showing – how NHL 12 improves AI player movement by better supporting the puck carrier in both breakouts and on defense. Players will also act more realistically by trying to straddle the blue line and stay onsides. Hopefully these kinds of improvements, along with more player tendencies will make each game feel different and exciting.
