NHL 16 Screenshots - Stinger (Columbus Blue Jackets) & Bailey (Los Angeles Kings)

[emericaridr11]

I already know the Gameplay will be the same as last year.... Bad

so having said that the snapshots here look great!!
the reflections and the textures are looking real good, and I like the subtle depth of field action going on

but yeah agreed!!

I've got no problem with them adding this stuff to the game.


Where I have a problem with this is the fact they are showing this stuff off, rather than showing us any videos or anything else related to the actual game play they say has been improved.


That being said... the screens look nice, but I think we all expected that since last years looked great as it was.

Here's the thing....... NHL is the last game to release in the fall I think. Rory is coming out shortly, Madden is August I believe, and isn't FIFA before NHL? If that's the case, they were right to focus on Madden and FIFA. NOt only is it their big money makers, but summertime hockey news goes over like a lead balloon, especially in the States.

NBCSN apparently drew 225,000 folks to watch the draft last week. That's not very much. So why put out videos right now that only hardcore folks will get all wet over? If there's any chance at making a buzz, it's with stuff like this, so maybe the kids see it.

End of July, into August is when we will see gameplay videos I think. When people are thinking more about hockey, and have already purchased Madden.........

Glad to see some real attention to presentation during the past 2 releases.
Compared to Madden/The Shows/etc. NHL in the PS3/360 era really was a mockery of EA Sports "It's in the game" slogan.

Seeing these unique arena elements really helps break up the monotony of the 82 game schedule.

Geeze, are we really going to go through every teams mascot like this? If they're releasing high quality screenshots, I'd prefer to see some more new player faces in game.

All other obvious issues aside, that comparison shot of Kane in 15 vs. 16 that was floating around before was actually pretty great, you'd think they'd try to cash in on that side a little more.

FIFA comes late september and NHL comes out about two weeks after madden and there is tons of material shown for it

It's honestly trolling, and you should try to avoid it. If you have nothing to say on topic, just move on next time.

my post is very much on topic, as well as being on-point.

so, please explain to me how this is trolling?
