NHL 12 is not your average ice hockey video game. Developed by EA Canada and published by EA Sports, this game takes the sport to a whole new level of hilarity and entertainment. Released between September 8-13, 2011, in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and North America, NHL 12 quickly became a fan favorite.
One of the standout features of NHL 12 is its interactive goalies. No longer are the goalies just there to block your shots, now you can have real contact with them. Picture this: you're speeding towards the goal, ready to shoot, when suddenly the goalie lunges at you, tackling you to the ground. It's like a wrestling match on ice! And guess what? The goalies can fight back too. That's right, in NHL 12, the goalies and skaters may engage in a heated brawl right in the middle of the game. It's pure chaos and pure fun.
But the fun doesn't stop there. NHL 12 also boasts a better physics engine, making the gameplay feel more realistic and unpredictable. You'll see players collide in hilarious ways, stick handling moves that defy the laws of gravity, and even pucks that take on a life of their own. It's like watching a slapstick comedy on ice.
The Be a Pro mode in NHL 12 has also been improved, giving you even more control over your player's career. You can customize their appearance, choose their playstyle, and guide them through the ups and downs of a professional hockey career. From training sessions to contract negotiations, every decision you make will have an impact on your player's journey. And let's not forget the crazy antics you can get up to off the ice. You can go shopping for outrageous outfits, attend wild parties, and even date fellow hockey players. It's a full-blown hockey-themed soap opera!
One of the highlights of NHL 12 is the ability to play the 2011 NHL Winter Classic. This outdoor game brings a whole new dynamic to the gameplay. Imagine playing hockey in a blizzard, with snowflakes falling all around you and wind howling in your face. It's a chaotic and exhilarating experience that will have you laughing and cursing at the same time.
Adding to the excitement of NHL 12 is the commentary provided by Gary Thorne and Bill Clement. These two have a knack for bringing humor and energy to the game. With their witty remarks and funny anecdotes, you'll find yourself chuckling as you play. It's like having your very own comedy duo providing play-by-play and color commentary.
In conclusion, NHL 12 is a must-play for any hockey fan who enjoys a good laugh. With its interactive goalies, crazy physics, improved Be a Pro mode, and the chance to play in the 2011 NHL Winter Classic, this game is a hilarious and entertaining ride from start to finish. So grab your controller, lace up your virtual skates, and get ready for a comedy show on ice like no other.
