EA has revealed Edmonton Oilers superstar center and Art Ross Trophy winner Connor McDavid as the cover athlete for NHL 18. Check out the official gameplay trailer and post your thoughts!

“Representing NHL 18 as the cover athlete is an incredible honor,” said Connor McDavid, Edmonton Oilers®. “I’ve played EA SPORTS NHL every year since I was kid. To appear on the cover, something that has been done previously by so many players that I respect and admire, is very exciting. I can’t wait to play NHL 18.”

Cover should've been confused Foley selecting Cody Eakin but McDavid is good too.

That clip showed the same defensive AI issues and awkward goalie animations. *As long as EASHL is balanced again, then the game may be salvageable. Single player will probably be unplayable again.*

I don't want to be this negative already, but they appear to be the only sports series not to recapture core animations to push the realism forward. Also, switching to Frostbite would have been nice as well.*

He is a rising star so I have no issue waiting with it. Still waiting for a Red Wing to grace the cover but I can do that myself. As far as marketing is concerned this is a solid pick it will appeal to the younger crowd.

I'm definitely buying the digital version. Don't want Connor's ugly mug in my home.
