    Played the Battlefied 3 Demo last night. Pretty good, still very glitchy though. Plus the map has no vehicles which kinda sucks.

    They're supposed to be adding a vehicle map to the demo.
    Game is going to be fun! Lots of glitches for them to work out (in 4 weeks, no less) so that will be interesting to see.

    Forza 4 is awesome too! I can't wait for that one. I actually just bought the Fanatec setup too.

    NHL 2012 was once again able to up the ante in gameplay. The physics engine somehow got even better. If you are a hockey fan, you won't have any regrets.


    Thats what I keep hearing! Haven't had a chance to pick it up yet. Too much football to watch this weekend...I'll pick it up on Monday

    I stopped buying hockey games after NHL 2K7, which I traded in after a few days. I still play NHL 2K6, which I believe to be the perfect hockey game. The next year was terrible I thought so I just went back to 2K6. I stopped playing the EA games after the 2K series started because they were sort of arcade like in comparison, where 2K were more simulation based. It's the only game I still play on my old XBOX.

    I might rent NHL 2012 though, just to check it out. I kind of like the old school game though, my top line of Joe Nieuwendyk, Brendan Shannahan and Alexander Mogilny is killer. :lol:

    Does NHL 2012 have retired players in it? I am also wondering how is the career mode and does the game still keep track of player's career stats?

    Thanks. I'm debating on the 360 or doing like you said and getting a used system. Haven't decided yet...although knowing me, the next version of the xbox will be out when I do make up my mind :lol:

    There is a newer xbox 360 out there making the original 360 a little cheaper now but still about 180 at gamestop. I'm actually thinking about selling my 360 since I rarely use it.

    I don't know, I haven't played it, but unless things have changed, probably not. In all sports games the retired players (whether it be in Madden, MLB, or Hockey games) for Classic teams were not named. It has something to do with agreements with various players associations for the sports in question. Sometimes they might go out and get some of the bigger names, but usually players will just be called "RW - #89" or something like that, or Bart Starr would be "QB - #15". But like I said, that's the way it used to be, I don't know if these games have worked out an agreement with retired players. I've played more recent games, but didn't play any All-Time teams or anything like that.

    So they probably have retired players (all of these games have all-time teams or old teams) but the players will just be a position/number and not have a photo, if it's the way they used to do it that is.
