This looks very exciting. Hopefully presentation gets a continued facelift, as well

Agreed! I'm excited as usual!!!

Looks like my hometown of Houston, TX will get a team.

So...uh...do like...the players season goal totals show when they score, or what, man?

For real, though. Lol

I won't lie, this is the first time since NHL 11 I have some hope and a little hype. I'm looking forward to seeing what they've done, and deciding on buying or not from there.

Major props to EA for releasing something of substance on their first reveal.
Great stuff and definitely something aimed towards the serious hockey fan. Offline fans, no less.

Lieutenant Dan would have appreciated that. The return of customization is something to be excited about. I'll assume the logos will be generic, (Instead of upload or logo creator) and the arena type somewhat limited, but more important to me is it's implementation across all related modes so EASHL, GM, and HUT players can take advantage.

Im confused as to what exactly is improved in this game so far?

Who the heck wants to relocate their favorite team out of the city that they play in? Come on EA, give us something we actually care about

Like I dont know, better crowd atmosphere, ability to switch to specific players instead of its idiotic system choosing for us, CPU teammates not floating around staring off into the stands while youre trying to back check and play defense.

How about do something to fix the game play for once

Some of us might want to bring back the Whale. Or the Nordiques. I'm a fan of neither but want to do both.

I would say that the comment they made about improving the gameplay in all three zones is gameplay related in fact the neutral zone play is by far the worst of the three zone play in this game so that alone IF done right would be enormous for gameplay. Net battles, again if done right will be big also.

As far as atmosphere goes. I think EA took a big step last year with authentic arenas and what not so there's reason to believe they will continue to work on that. I think adding more and better stay overlays and fixing the goal totals not showing up is a must

If they told me that they have revamped the scouting and player progression process then I would be extremely excited.

We get it.

How about we give them a chance at least. This was the first info released about the game and it actually had substance behind it - a big step up from the past.

Hoping that if these sweaters don't make it into the game again (which would be terribly disappointing considering both were worn at different points during the 2015/2016 season), the customization options in the game are similar enough to NBA 2K16's uniform creation/logo uploading tools so it'll be possible to recreate them.
