NHL 15 Screenshots - New Faces in New Places

[Steve_OS]

EA Sports has just released some more NHL 15 screenshots. These feature Paul Stastny (St. Louis Blues), Christian Ehrhoff (Pittsburgh Penguins), Ryan Miller (Vancouver Canucks), Thomas Vanek (Minnesota Wild) and Jarome Iginla (Colorado Avalanche).

I wish that the jersey are work in progress and that the final result it's the jersey of paul statsny that look incredible well and different of other, the jersey of the stastny screenshots looks very real insted the others look cartoonish!

In the picture with Stastny the crowd is looking completely in the wrong direction, when in real life they'd certainly be looking at the goal. With all the talk about realistic crowds in this year's game I hope this is just a fluke in this screen. MLB 14 has the same issue (crowds are always looking toward second base even when the play is at the plate etc).

From which year is that Vanek face? 07 or 08?

Really like how they basically ripped off Eddie Lacks mask, put it on Miller. Yet Jimmy Howard is wearing a mask form NHL 07. Don't know why I'm surprised, Van. always gets and looks great. I wonder why LOL

Any artists made mask they need permission from the artist themselves or risk lawsuits, its the same reason they won't have tats in madden this year except for specific players who had their tat artists sign a waver. After that NCAA lawsuit I don't blame EA or any publisher for being weary when it could mean a million dollar+ lawsuits over likeness in a videogame.

I just like to attribute that to something else. I know when I go to a game, I try to follow the play as close as I can. However, sometimes you can't help but look at the bench, scoreboard, players, etc etc. I think it would look rather stupid if every single fan was watching the play. I do think EA should add some people holding their faces, on the edge of their seat, standing up holding arms or just some sort of emotional gesture if it's a close game and the opponent is in the other zone or a break away.

Hahah you are so right, I didn't even notice that. The only time the crowd would be looking away like that is if there was a fight about to break out.

Oh my. Vanek looks absolutely awful. Only way I can recognise him from the photo is his number. Authentic.

EA can always change their own mask designs. Many goalies in the game have masks that we've seen way too long. I just find it funny that they put a lot of effort to crowd faces and yet they can't deliver detailed (but unofficial) masks.

So who's the wild player in the picture? His face isn't ringing a bell

Statsny and Ehroff looking great in their Bauer 4500 buckets.

I agree about the masks. Has anyone every tweeted the popular NHL Mask artists about this? Would they object to having their masks in the game? Or would they demand a cut? Back in NHL 97 they had a ton of real masks in the game, someone must have taken issue, or lawyers just got in the way.

Stop complaining guys, it is what it is, it's not supposed to be perfect. The people at EA Sports are just trying their best, at least give them credit. What do you want from them?
