So he's a pants-less orphaned lumberjack? Tell me more.

Also, that screenshot of the fans is soooooo unrealistic.. first of all, i counted 14 black guys.. that is so unrealistic. You'd be lucky to see 2 black guys out of 21,273 fans at the bell centre. Here they have 14 in a few rows in 1 section. Last time i went to a habs game, i searched the whole bell centre and counted how many black guys i find..

I counted 2 out of 21,000+ fans.

These are nice touches and all, but I find it a HUGE waste of time from a development standpoint. I mean, let's be honest. You might watch those scenes once or twice, but after a few games, you're gonna be skipping all the intro's and all the stuff between faceoffs.

Bingo. Good Call. Exactly what i always say. You see it once, twice, eight times, always the same thing, you are now just skipping to the faceoff.

Perfect example, the intro, when the players line up from the dressing room to get ready to hit the ice... then they take the ice, skate around, tap the goalie's pads.. when we all first get the game and play it for the first time, we are watching like kids.. not skipping.. we are so excited to see it.. by the 4th game, i bet not one person will sit through the opening again.. it's right to the faceoff.

Is this half of the budget of the production??? Really??? Its all good you know to have these mascots but honestly, I want to see gameplay because if I am buying this game, its not for the mascots, or the atmosphere, or the 1000 faces in the crowds...its gameplay, player and team differentiation.

Ummmm ok if you say so. But they look dead on to me.

You serious, that is all they have to post? More mascots?! I hate to complain but this seems to be the only franchise showing off something so irrelevant. I wonder what it would have been like if FIFA just kept showing different boots for a few months or Project Cars showing off tire models or Forza 6 showing off car spoilers. I feel that is what they are doing here. Sad...

Still haven't seen Fin for Vancouver, just the Green men.
