Some are under the delusion that sliders can fix a flawed and bug filled AI. It just won’t hapoen. Sliders can help in some areas just not the core fundamental AI issues that make this game play nothing like ice hockey.

"New Commentators"? That would be surprising.

lmao, I thought this year they were supposed to have real life commentary updates that reflect real world scenarios. Yet here we are columbus day in the game is referred to as thanksgiving day

If you look at what they have done, which is very little with commentary and everything going on with Eddie personally, not surprised. Doc just can't bring the same intensity that he does in real life into the game. Myself and other suggested using real life audio for goal calls to help like the EA UFC team does with Bruce Buffer when he's introducing the fighters, but looks like they didn't want to go that route.

VERY curious to see if they bring in actual NHL guys or professional actors(who aren't goofy like that guy in NHL 3s) who sound like NHL guys, or perhaps minor league/college commentators like Madden did with their commentators(College PBP Guy and NFL color commentary guy).

The commentary just did not grow after NHL 16. Everything went into NHL 15 and 16 and small tweaks after with 17/18.

I have received the survey before but didn't get this one?

Yeah, that's always going to be the biggest factor in my purchasing the game or not. Sure, everyone looking like they do, and giving me the ability to create jerseys and logos with actual importing files instead of their crappy pre-set logos would be nice...

But at the end of the day, I'm still not getting the game if I can't count on my center to not stand at the blue line and both of my defenders to check one guy in the corner while two of their forwards wait in front of the net, only to score on a puck the guy getting checked by two players kicks through and they score because my goalie poke checks and sits still instead of covering the bottom of the net.
