This game comes out in about a week and there's still no offline gameplay...

I'm one of the few who don't care about EASHL so this is pretty disappointing. I'll def wait for reviews before I shell out 60 bucks

There's a ton of offline game play being put out right now on youtube and Twitch, you just have to look for it.

The gameplay looks mostly the same is the problem, you have to feel it. There's a lot of subtle changes in the controlling of the players.

The biggest visual change you'll see if the puck not jumping through skates and sticks without interference or being intercepted. It's a really nice change.

For instance, 3 guys are streaming Be a Pro right now in NHL 16.

Play by play seems unchanged and is terrible, just terrible. It's not even Doc's fault, it's the code. Not enough player names in the description makes it very generic. There are also way too many moments where there is absolutely no pbp.

The excitement is also way too sudden. There is no crescendo.

It's basically the same code since 2007.

While it's not a game breaker and is probably not easy to code it's still frustrating to see no improvement on this aspect of the presentation year after year.

This explains why we have not seen any gameplay footage. It's identical to NHL15. Just as I suspected this release is going to be NHL14 next gen. Couple things I noticed besides lack of gameplay improvements:
1) goalie intro is the same as last year. Not just talking visually but they repeated the same lines about the goalies. I guess Hiller is going to overcome vertigo every year....
2) nothing new here but the goal celebration is just so damn disappointing.
3) they said they added a lot of new commentary but I heard nothing new at all.
4) goalie animations look exactly the same. I was under the impression they worked on goalies this year.
5) would have liked to see the final game stats but I did notice not one penalty called.....looks like another year with this issue...Ugh
6) Do the oilers do the salute the crowd stick raise just like the Rangers? or did they just decide to do this for all teams....
Bottom line. Between gameplay, visuals, and the commentary, I had to double check and make sure I wasn't watching a video from NHL15. Once more us offline gamers are left out in the cold with no attention given in this area outside of returned modes that should never have been removed in the first place. Only HUT and EASHL get the love.
