When NHL 13 launched in September as perhaps the only hockey we’ll experience this year, a lot of people noticed that there was a glitch where you could launch a player into the stands with a properly placed check. Well, EA has released a brand new video that actually proves that this ‘glitch’ was something they originally planned within the game.
During the development (and totally not made a couple days ago), they did a mo-cap session which shows them performing what they call the Hercules Check. This involves having someone hip check a dummy into a piece of plywood.
So, enjoy the video which shows the 6’9″ Zdeno Chara hitting the 5’9″ Sidney Crosby into the stands, then having a member of the development team tell us how they wanted to create the most ‘authentic hockey experience’ possible.
