I'm in my 30's, I've played video games for over 25 years, anything on PS4 is mind blowing to me.
I am sick and tired of the way this game looks being brought up like it's anything special. Of course it looks great, it's 2015 and it's a video game.
What would impress me is signature skating styles, signature shots, a player from Montreal wanting to finish his career with the Canadiens in GM mode. GM tendencies, Franchise tendencies, Owner tendencies, and general team management tendencies. I want to see the Pens always trading 1st round picks away to try to win now as long as they have Crosby and Malkin. I want to see teams plan for the future, plan for free agents 2-3 years down the road, plan for their RFA's to be resigned or traded. I want teams to play their brand of hockey, I want the Red Wings to have a higher chance of finding a top 6 forward in the late rounds of the draft, and I want that player to spend at least a year in the AHL riding the bus. I want to see players remember a cheap shot for a few years, I want to see a playoff series get out of hand, and refs letting them play.
I don't give a rats *** how much better it looks, because it simply all looks more than good enough to play. It's a complete farce to say it looks good as if there should be a feather stuck in EA's hat for a job well done. They have made more than enough money via HUT to hire people to create tendencies. I don't need neon yellow tape, nobody does as it's an NHL game and I can't remember the last time an NHL player had neon yellow or lime green tape. It's wasted time/effort/money putting little stupid things like that into the game.
grandpa out!

I read the first sentence and thought, "oh great, another rant by some idiot", but I read on and thought to myself this guy has something. You brought up some great points about the management 'tendencies' of Be a GM. I %100 agree with you on everything you said. It's pure authenticity that this game needs/lacks. I think with the new player morale feature that's being added into NHL 16 will steer this ship in the right direction. Having said that, it has taken too long for us to have these ideas into the game and I don't see it happening anytime soon to be honest. I'm with you on the fact that I prefer the management aspect of Be a GM as opposed to gameplay. I want to be able to hire scouts and assistant GM's with abilities to find diamond in the rough (did I say it right?) prospects. EA has wasted a lot of its resources into little things like the stick tape(s) you were talking about.
