The thing that's annoying me in these videos is hearing the same exact sound effects since like 09 in terms of guyyellingoffsides.wav and passpasspass.wav in the background. Also I still hear good ol Gary and Bill. But I guess these gripes go along with everyone else's tuner update/roster update complaints. It just sucks to see like what they do with game presentation in NCAA Football compared to NHL (different development sects I know). Not that I'd wanna hear Doc and Edzo send it down to Pierre, but couldn't they do something with NBC to improve?

The main problem with NHL, is its the same features of the past 4 years. They remove some, and re-add some. They FINALLY are updating be a pro, but its still going to be the exact same thing it always was. Oh you answer questions now? cool. Wheres our Draft Combine (Madden used to make you lift weights, run a 40, and do other things), or maybe give us something to spend this money on. What about hiring an agent and having a different one helps influence your contract, and your fan's opinion. There are just so many options for BAP, that they dont do enough to make it interesting.

It would be awesome if they added practices where (in the start) would learn basic hockey tactics that would become more advanced as you go. Make them optional, and it could affect your standings with the organization and fans if you are a borderline player, or are underachieving.

I think basic practices and stuff would get tedious for people who have been playing a while. Maybe a team-specific strategy practice where you learn a set play the team uses, where using it in-game gives a bonus with the team/coach.

BAP is like a single player MMO with lots of grinding and really stupid randomly-generated quests. I would probably actually enjoy it if the AI were sensible, though, which it is still not.

i am not so sure posted:So we should get player ratings real soon right? I miss the old days, back when EA was not afraid to hurt people's feelings and straight up rated players as 0 overall. No 60 overall minimums, just straight up "this guy sucks, and you might legitimately be able to replace them if you can skate". I don't really want the zeroes to come back, but it would be nice if every player in the big leagues wasn't at least an 80.

I haven't bought an NHL game since NHL 10. I think I'll just skip this one and wait for the next gen one next year...which will of course strip a lot of core features out so they can use the next generation to slowly build back to something. The reality (that I perceive anyways) of the situation is that this console generation went longer than anyone expected. I'm fully onboard with everyone else bitching about having the same lovely openings though. The same canned stanley cup celebration they've had for basically a decade (dating back to 2004 or so). It's loving infuriating because its the little things that help build a fun/realistic atmosphere to the game and for diehard fans it just seems and probably is loving lazy. A lot of the base level issues that continue to crop up year after year I'm sure are practically hard coded in to the loving engine so an entirely new from the ground up engine rebuild would be useful and obviously isn't happening this year. I may consider picking this up if there is a sale early on in the game but I'll be honest when I say that I kind of dislike playing Be A Pro. I like playing online just 1 vs 1. Seriously though. I think the Stanley Cup celebration has been the same since NHL 03.

To me NHL 13 has been the smallest improvement in the series since the skill stick era began. It looks amazing when you just start playing, but the seams start to show fast and then it's mostly a frustrating fest of half ready features. Almost everything is somewhat broken, worst are skating and turning from zero speed, boardplay, slot area stickiness and the AI that they again listed as one of the top new features. They lifted the AI form fifa saying that now every player knows every others position on ice. Too bad they forgot to program in all the behaviour based on that information. I like the goalies ok thought.

Gave the demo a quick shot before coming in to work, first impressions: Cons
Pros
I'm assuming they can and will adjust the slow speed skating and camera. Sucks that goalies continue to blow, and holy Christ I cannot wait for nex-gen where they will maybe make a new animation or two for once.

I'm 99% sure they'll speed up the game at launch, or at least soon after. If you mostly play offline it's only a slider setting away anyway

I think he meant that the mechanics when skating on slow speeds are bad like they are on 13, not the game or skating speed itself.

Yeah, there continues to be no pivoting in the NHL franchise universe, if you are facing one direction at a stand-still and want to go the other direction you have to turn like a fuckin tank instead of opening up your legs and just quickly turning.

just tell me my pokecheck is ok, just tell me its ok e: skating is definitely a lot more fluid in this than 13. it's not perfect but it is better - especially the new l-trigger response. de: poke check looks like it has less of an auto intercept now, don't see many pucks going through sticks yet if it's aimed correctly.

I annoyingly defended 13's demo, but this game just isn't that great. I don't think I'll be buying it, and I've gotten every NHL game since 09. Pivoting and skating is a lot smoother but there are more annoyances. The biggest issue with the pivots now is that you have to fully commit to doing it. If you change your mind in a split second and don't want to pivot anymore, your player just spins around. So annoying. Everything about this game is fast, and it comes across as a little arcadey and unrealistic. Fighting is easily my most hated aspect of watching hockey, and I think they overdid it. Not every time I'm in the crease does there have to be that same clinch animation and cutscene. This new "enforcer engine" would be fine if fighting in these games actually mattered, but they honestly don't. The game plays exactly the same. I have a feeling playing online in this game is just going to be a total chore. I also haven't figured out how to actually fight, so I haven't landed a single punch. Maybe it's tied to Auto Zoom or something, but fighting needs its own camera. That said, there are some things that I like. I think the AI has improved obviously, and there have been a lot of new scoring chances that have opened up. And I actually scored on the backdoor.

hitting feels so much better, less clumsy and more natural. the first time I crushed someone into the boards after the whistle and got challenged to a fight by his teammate was awesome; last year it was either the robots powered down after the whistle or they went into permashove mode

I think I've fought more as Toews than Toews has had fights in his entire career. Random clean hits also take more precedent than 5 minute boarding penalties when trying to "send a message". This game is annoying. I want instant replays back.

Yeah, they went a bit overboard trying to show off the scrums after the whistle and the new fighting system. No, Jonathan Toews is not going to fight after a clean hit to free up the puck in the offensive zone. He is going to take the puck and pass it to Kane wide open in front of the net.
