That doesn't describe a hockey jersey. The shot at around :35 with Karlsson skating towards the camera is brutal, especially since the voice over is talking about jersey physics at the time. A small section of his jersey is spazzing out while the rest is motionless. It just looks odd, especially since they're stressing all the work that has gone into making the models realistic.

I feel the same way. Trailer looks great but i swore it said gameplay series and this is more of the same stuff thats been released. Karlssons jersey looked really bad just fluttering on one side of the stomach really weirdly and right before that the bottom of dan girardis jersey is freaking out. Also at the start it looks like the bottom of crosby's jersey is blowing in 10mph winds and hes barely moving. I dont know, the trailer does excite me but how in the world do they not see this and if they do see it why do they bother putting that crap in the trailer?

If you've been playing this series for awhile ....you cannot help not to be disappointed with the gameplay. So if they are clamoring for the gameplay...that is because they like to see if there are changes done by EA in regards to gameplay. EA blows out other competitors when it comes to graphics. But if its still gameplay....no matter how brilliant is their graphics, IMO, it will still be a failure.

Going back to the video....good thing that there's an option of either going for the solo goal celebration and team celebration...what a relief! Next to gameplay...im really waiting whats in store for BaGM and Live a life.

It's been like this since NHL '11. Sad but true....

Well you group celebration folks will be happy.

I was hoping for some gameplay, but I'm stoked for the game!

The players look great. These faces look much better than the ones they've shown so far...but good lord, i hope they're spending the next few months focusing on the AI. The defensive pressure still looks to be non-existent.

Hopefully it will be 5-men instead of 3-men. Unfortunately video shows only 3-men group celebration.

Bah! Who needs AI improvement when we have new cele's and flapping jersey. Life is good, now get out there and dangle!

Yes AI, puck physics , more attributes and player/ team differences is what the series needs. 3 layer cloth technology is great and everything but if you don't have that graphics don't matter.
