Man, I just cannot get excited so far.

Not that I expected anything else but these screens are virtually pointless. Might as well be NHL 16. Not a single texture looks improved. Identical. Which is what I expected. But I just clicked the link thinking "maybe I'll be surprised". Nope.

Yea nothing is captivating me from these screens. Probably just gonna wait till frostbite is in the game next year

I for one am looking forward to the Be a GM features. Hopefully we hear more on that soon.

The municipal rink looks fantastic. I'm all about adding some different atmospheres like that in EASHL and perhaps HUT.

Setting ticket and concession prices? Those features? If I wanted to play roller coaster tycoon, sure. Improve the hockey. When we said "more sim" the last guy I wanted to "simulate" the experience of being was the team's financial advisor.

I've always enjoyed having to do that kind of thing. I've always felt it added to the experience in these GM modes. Hopefully it can be set to auto for people who prefer to manage the roster only.

Agreed, but the game has never really done a good job at showing off the arena work they have put into it, unfortunately.

How many shots of the actual arena, scoreboard, banners, rafters, etc. are shown during cutscenes or game play? This is probably something that could be changed in the future to spruce up the presentation.
