In short, Playful, graphically and acoustically NHL 12 is a dream and is also thanks to the numerous on- and Offlinespielmodi and leagues, including the DEL is again, its supremacy as justice Hockey reference.
Why do I ultimately only 4 stars awarded, has a fairly mundane reason. Otherwise, this circumstance will not matter, he encounters mad at me. EA waived this year on, the actual game to settle a game manual. These are found only as in-game booklet on the disc again. Instead, there is a small, meaningless information brochure, in which nothing is the actual game other than general information. Already in recent years, the instructions in EA Sports games were rather rudimentary, the customer now, however, must all do so and this is reflected in any way in the price (except for Amazon will cost the game regularly around 70) I am sorry. Maybe I'll be there but just too conservative. I read me before a game like a first and find it helpful, even when the console is switched to look something up. Probably this is but long outdated in today's in-game tutorials.
Conclusion: The lack of Instructions cost NHL 12 unfortunately a star, the game itself is excellent and should employ every hockey fan for a long time.
