Re: NHL 16 Screenshots - All of the Mascots

Here we are, three weeks from release, and virtually no gameplay footage showing the game's AI in Play Now, Be A Pro or Be A GM, other than a one-minute clip back in July(?).

But let's take a look at each team's mascot.

I'm sorry, but this is getting beyond ridiculous. I'm glad they fixed the EASHL for those who play it. But offline players have NO idea what we're getting with this game.

It's quite ridiculous, actually. The worst part is, their sales will more than likely increase because of the simple fact that they re-added EASHL. So, they won't have any reason to take deeper looks at the rest of the game. They need competition badly. If not for any reason other than getting some of the creative/innovative juices flowing again. Forget about mascots. Sure, it's nice, but only if other areas of the game aren't lacking like they are.

I didn't even know the Stars had a mascot and I'm not sure what that thing is.

The Flames mascot looks like roadkill.

Apparently, we've got a pretty good idea. Put in the DVD for NHL13/14, and imagine it with 15's graphics, and I would guess we're pretty close.

EA has set the table to disappoint me once again. Such a bummer.

Yeah. It's frustrating. Maybe we can hope that by the time NHL17 drops, they'll have given one guy on the team the task of "checking to see what those offline guys are complaining about". Who knows, they might even touch AI that year.

I think a new development team and leadership is needed for this series to recover. Last year they trickled out arena screenshots... This year mascots... And the fact that they even considered zamboni racing as a possible feature. I mean come on!

Awesome! This totally makes up for no player editing and no cumulative goal totals in GM mode! I'm preordering today!

(In case you haven't noticed I was being sarcastic).

Re: NHL 16 Screenshots - All of the Mascots

Guys, could you take a closer look at the Blackhawks mascot please? Behind him are some details of the arena. I can't really make out if it is the United Center. Appreciate your help, thanks!

Sorry if that isn't allowed or is a bit much but seriously, this is absolutely ridiculous. It's completely clear to me that EA only cares about marketing the game to casual players, not their loyal fanatics that have bought the game every year for 20+ years. It's sad, really.

Re: NHL 16 Screenshots - All of the Mascots

I guess I'll enjoy playing the game and the improvements while most of you are sitting here complaining.........

The beta sold me on improved gameplay. So what if they market the pretty things?

Re: NHL 16 Screenshots - All of the Mascots

I really don't get the complaining about adding mascots. It's like getting chocolate sprinkles on your ice cream to go along with your rainbow sprinkles. At the end of the day, it really hasn't hurt anything.

Player edit is back in this year

Re: NHL 16 Screenshots - All of the Mascots

Yeah, every mascot reveal turning into a "this is why EA hates us" grudgefest is getting a bit stale. If you hate the direction of the series and have no intention of buying that's understandable, but no need to go on and on about it.

Re: NHL 16 Screenshots - All of the Mascots

I don't think people are angry about the Mascots I think there is a frustration that they release things like this but with 3 weeks until release there is not one offline game video clip. Not one...(that quick unplanned clip of 2 guys playing as Rangers/Detroit aside). With past offline disappointments there is good reason to be apprehensive and frustrated.
