NHL 13 Demo Released Today

Written by James Wrabel on .

Avid sports video game junkies and hockey die hards looking for their fix, NHL 13 drops its demo today, available for download. With the threat of a work stoppage real, and another season being wiped out a possibility, this may be the only hockey we see in 2012-13.

Fellow NYR blogger and fan Matt Calamia of Blue Shirt Blog wants to set up a GM connected league on XBox 360 once the game releases on September 11.
  • You know what I'll be doing today: whooping the Devils up and down the rink with Jeff Carter, Dustin Brown and Jon Quick. I'll make sure to sit Zach Parise to make it fair. 
  • I may not be the greatest gamer of all time, but you don't want to mess with me in NHL games. Make sure to contact Matt if you're interested in joining and when Kevin returns from vacation, perhaps he'll want TheNYRBlog to be involved. This GM league intrigues me...

I've got a PS3. Anyone interested in doing the GM Connect thing on that platform?

Ahhhh finally out of work! Anyone reccomend the best way to preorder this? Any offers with a real improvenent to my pro and not just a stick with a logo... i was gonna do amazon bc they give a $15 or so gift card back but then I realized that after release date shipping I save nothing. Might just pick it up when it comes out.

 @NH_NYR_88 Amazon is comparable to Gamestop. Both give you equipment which I believe has boosts. Amazon will give cash back. Gamestop you can grab at midnight if you're into that. No one else really has a tempting offer unless you're into the Ultimate Team Pack thing, there is a retailer giving you several of those free (forget who).

@NH_NYR_88 You should really preorder because you might not be able to get one for a week or 2 at the store if you wait. That happened to me 4 or 5 years ago.

Super stoked for this. I'm all over the GM connected mode. Also a huge fan of EASHL Club & OTP play, tho my club team is sorta Mighty Ducks style. Went from getting stomped early on to finally being able to compete.

@GLENsatherVSglennDANZIG I'm also away in Florida. Getting home tonight to play demo until my eyes bleed. Just a reminder to everyone to edit the player attributes. Specifically Kreider. And I won't touch hank but I'm definitely making miller less overall than him (91 to 90). Idk how they make miller better but that's wrong

Very excited for the game but not doing connected GM. Online modes are too unreliable
