Video game developer EA Sports has delivered another trailer for the upcoming NHL 13 with the main message being that this is “our game”.

The NHL series is nowhere as popular with gamers as the two main cash cows for EA Sports, Madden NFL and FIFA, and the company is trying to raise the profile of the hockey simulation this year.

The game is set to include female players for the first time in a major sports simulation series and gamers can create their own characters using the Be a Pro mode.

There are also new options when it comes to player versus player interaction and more physics-based interactions, designed to bring the virtual experience of NHL 13 as close as possible to a real-world hockey match.

NHL 13 will be launched on the Xbox 360 from Microsoft and the PlayStation 3 from Sony on September 11 in the United States and on September 13 in Europe.
