  It's, once again, a great hockey game and still the best hockey game. Just like with 08, 09, 10 and 11, I'll be playing this most weekends with a bunch of friends. That being said, it's really not too different from 11. I feel dirty for paying a full price for a game that is practically the same game as last year. No matter how you look at it, the amount of development time that gets put into these games compared to other full priced games is ridiculously low. It's a differently tweaked version of the same game, hell, some of the things are worse than they were last year... I can't blame EA for taking easy money where there is easy money to be made, but I wish they'd skip a year or two and really rework the engine. They can talk about "real world physics" all they want, but what the game delivers right now is pretty god damn far from that. Then there's the fact that 90% of the announcer recordings are the same as last year. When you've been playing the game for so many years, it's kind of a "in your face, fool"-moment when you insert the 60EUR disc and for the first 10 minutes of gameplay the announcers say nothing new.
