I am with everyone else here. Just show us gameplay and we're good.

Nope, I hate it too. I play true broadcast, and put the controls always up. I think the game flows better that way (for me anyways)

I'm hoping they give us something that shows how the AI handles players and pucks moving around.

I'm going to be severely disappointed if I just see the same "Back up. Stop. Back up. Stop. Oh no, he's gone by me. Skate backwards. Pivot too late. Hang head in shame at goal."

I hate playing in it, but i like watching the AI play, because it's better for seeing plays develop, and how the AI responds as players move around the ice. Seeing a bunch of guys standing still and not moving away from coverage, as in the past, will be a bummer.

FINALLY some gameplay!!!......hopefully not cut up footage and just 2-5 minutes of raw gameplay with commentary and sounds etc.

Lets see what you've got EA

There is no way that I'll see what I want to see (rubber band AI eliminated) in the gameplay video.


NHL 15 was the biggest joke of a sports title that I've played since Madden 13. I played on every level and just about every game played the same. I've won and lost on every level with different slider combos and finally deleted the game off of my hard drive out of frustration.


I want to see player and team individuality and the elimination of the cheesy scripted rocket passes and one timers from the CPU and the last minute "thrillers".

I expected a pattern similar to last year; now I expect that we'll have either more dev diaries spaced out, or a large gap after tomorrow before the release of several more.

I enjoyed seeing Pietrangelo's goal and the ending with Fehr I think it was. I thought those two plays flowed really well and it looked realistic.

If you are talking about the videos in which you quoted your response from, those are from last year (NHL 15).
