NHL 14 Gameplay Improvements – Stick Skillzz.. Skills

The developers of NHL have released more details on their upcoming NHL 14, scheduled to release September 10 in North America.

You want to pull off some sweet skillz in NHL 14? Check out this trailer yo..

Puck chops now work using the RB/R1 button on your particular controller, and then using the right analog stick, to direct it every which way but loose.

Faceoffs now don’t favour spammers, with those getting in early with their initial grip, and with good timing and skillz, getting the faceoff, and the momentum.

NHL 14 Dynamic Ratings Updates

The developers of NHL have released more details on their upcoming NHL 14, scheduled to release September 10 in North America.

NHL 14 will now feature a dynamic ratings system for “Play Now” and “Online Versus” mode, based on how they play in real-life!

For example, if Sidney Crosby performs well over a stretch of games, then his in-game character will get a ratings boost, whereas if Crosby played poorly for a stretch, then his in-game character’s ratings will decrease.

You’ll be able to check which players are on a “hot” or “cold” streak but checking in the edit lines screen, or the Starting Lineups loading screen and checking a player singularly will tell you which categories are changed based on their streak.

Full details on the new Dynamic Ratings can be found at the link below:

NHL 14 Demo!.. Coming soon..

Thaaaaaaaat’s right. The NHL 14 demo will be released in late August for the Playstation Network and Xbox Live.

For the past two years at least, if I’m not mistaken, the demo has released around two-three weeks before the release date of the latest NHL game. The released date is scheduled to be September 10 in North America, so expect the release of this demo to be around the 20th-27th August.

That Damn Hockey Blog: Why Not Sign Me Errrr?

Free Agency. That period of your career, where if you are good enough, or find a GM dumb enough, you could score yourself a pretty sweet contract. But this comes with a warning, you may not even get a contract at all. In fact, there are players out there right now, who most people thought would have received day one, and yet, still sit un-signed without a team.

Anyway, if the Sabres were to trade Ryan Miller this season, where would they possibly trade him? Let’s go through the other 29 other teams and see if anyone would want a 33 year old Goaltender.
