I think it looks like Kessler a lot. As others have said though- playing like it's real life counterpart is more important than an exact cyber model.

I'm thinking that once they get to NHL16, they'll stop support of the 360 and PS3, so they can just go full on Next-Gen. Seems with this one they're kind of straddling the fence in terms of development.

That's a good point, it's a necessary evil however given the install base on both the 360 & PS3 is still much larger than the PS4 and Xbone at this point. We're still really early in this so called "Next Gen" For me personally I just wish they would be honest and come out and say, "hey our Next Gen systems are really just mid grade pc's using a last gen ATI 7000 series card." But then again that wouldn't sell many systems of either of the two.

I think it looks like Kesler but it's not perfect. Sad to see him go, but he lost the locker room in Vancouver and got his C taken away, so I'm also a little glad he's gone too.

I'm not a Canucks fan. However you have to take Tortarella taking away Keslers alternate captaincy away with a grain of salt. Tortarella is a clown. The lockeroom is all Sedin. I'm guessing the combo of Torts, and Sedin seemingly looking like nothing resembling what most view a strong NHL captain to be are the main reason the lockeroom was lost, and any off ice turmoil. Kesler seems like a pretty standup guy, and is probably ecstatic to be wearing another teams sweater.

Haha, probably not the best marketing strategy. I just wish PC Gamers could get a shot at games like NHL and Madden.
I have FIFA14 on here, and i was wanting a scratch for my World Cup itch, luckily, some nice modders have assembled the entire rosters for all of the national teams, set up the group stages, and even modded all of the jerseys.

That doesn't even touch on what they do for the normal game, with improved rosters, player faces and jerseys, salary corrections. It would be nice if NHL could get the same treatment on PC, but i know it'll never happen.
