NHL 12 looks to be an improvement from NHL 11. You can't always say that about EA Sports games (i.e. College Football 2012). There are some features that they seems to take out and put back in from year to year...one of which is legends or greats of the past. If you watch the review, they are making a big deal about the "Legends". They are also releasing who the legends are, two at a time. So far, they are showing, Gretzky, Bourke, Chelios, Yzerman, Salming, Roy and Roenick with two more slots. My bets for the lat two slots are on Sakic and Lemieux.
The other cool feature they have this year is the Winter Classic. You can play with last year's winter classic teams or add your own. The game is shown at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh at night with snow coming down. They even show the players breath in the cold at the intro.
From the review, it seems that they are also more focused on in-game stats and making the presentation slicker. If they don't mess with the game too much and just make it look better, this should be the best NHL Game ever...You can see more about EA Sports NHL 12 here:http://www.ea.com/nhl
