NHL 16 Mascot Screenshots - Mick E. Moose (Jets) & Youppi! (Canadiens)

[Steve_OS]

EA Sports has released a couple more NHL 16 screenshots featuring mascots in the game. All of the NHL teams that have official mascots will have them in NHL 16.

Mick E. Moose of the Winnipeg Jets (pictured above) and Youppi! of the Montreal Canadiens (pictured below) have been revealed today.

Mascots will move around the arena to pump up the crowd, react to on-ice action, and they may even join in on post-game celebrations.

For those of you that have missed out on the recent news about the game, we've highlighted some of them below.

So the Canadiens mascot is a mountain man with no pants. I can see why teams are afraid to travel there.

Perhaps you two are on to something... or EA is trying to add "promo" nights and this particular occurrence was just a test run that won't actually appear in-game.

Youppi was the montreal expos mascot before they lost their team then montreal canadiens adopted him.

So he's a pants-less orphaned lumberjack? Tell me more.

These are nice touches and all, but I find it a HUGE waste of time from a development standpoint. I mean, let's be honest. You might watch those scenes once or twice, but after a few games, you're gonna be skipping all the intro's and all the stuff between faceoffs.

it's unbelievable how he looks NOTHING like Youppi!.. this guy looks scary and looks more like a homeless guy.. Whereas Youppi! was a cute cuddly smiley Teddy Bear you just wanted to hug. This Youppi! looks scary.

Oh well, i'll trade a real looking Youppi! for great NHL 16 gameplay, anyday.

Is this half of the budget of the production??? Really??? Its all good you know to have these mascots but honestly, I want to see gameplay because if I am buying this game, its not for the mascots, or the atmosphere, or the 1000 faces in the crowds...its gameplay, player and team differentiation.

Ummmm ok if you say so. But they look dead on to me.

You serious, that is all they have to post? More mascots?! I hate to complain but this seems to be the only franchise showing off something so irrelevant. I wonder what it would have been like if FIFA just kept showing different boots for a few months or Project Cars showing off tire models or Forza 6 showing off car spoilers. I feel that is what they are doing here. Sad...

What would we like to see?? GAMEPLAY!

What do we get to see?? MASCOTS!!!

I mean, this is why the EA NHL team has caught so much flak over the past couple of years. They're afraid to show their game because they know it's a complete mess. But look at how we have mascots in the game!! I can't believe they expect us to accept this tripe.

This could be the classic magician sleight of hand trick. Distract the eye so you don't see how the trick is done.

The crowds and mascots are taking eyes away from the on-ice gameplay. Sadly, the trick will be on us when it's revealed they haven't really improved the on ice product.
