What was the point of creating 9,000 unique fans for the rinks if you cannot even see them because it is pitch black in every section above the 100's?

It's just a lack of attention to detail. It's not a game breaking thing or anything like that, but it just shows that they don't care enough to actually get it right. I mean it's the first thing I notice, the teams being on the wrong bench.

The fact that they've put so much emphasis on the fans in the crowd, and the real versions of Doc and Eddie being in the game (who cares about this?? Honestly. So they put them in front of a big screen, who the hell cares??? Yet Rammer hypes it as something that "no other sports game has ever done". which is technically true, but it's not even something that is remotely intriguing. People will watch it once and then skip it. God they annoy me.) should all be red flags that the gameplay and AI, and the real things that need to be fixed and improved, will not be.

Preds have been on the wrong bench for years.

EA's version of "authentic" means "close" or "updated" arenas. They look a ton better, but as we can see...not authentic.

Its all cool catch phrases to put on the box to sell the game.

Gameplay? Who cares, we have "authentic" arenas!
