    The skating and physics are good, but fighting and dekeing? come on.
    And even the skating and physics aren't going to matter if they're just going to tweak the crap out of it after a bunch of 14 year olds complain that online is too slow and low scoring like they always do.

        This series is quickly going the way of Madden. Can someone else please make an NHL or NFL game and breathe some new life in video games of these great sports!

        Seriously, the big news is a new fighting engine? Let's enhance something that doesn't even happen in every real game?! ( this is almost up there as far as bad goes with the Madden team's announcement of a uniform fashion critic tweet feature?OMFG!) There are soooo many more features to address before this, how about goalie fatigue, new animations, presentations, announcing, trade AI, scouting, or how about enhancing goal celebrations, something that actually takes place every game.

          Hopefully the new fight engine will mean that the cpu will instigate fights rather than it just being left to the user. The lack of fights in cpu v cpu games was a killer for this mode - hopefully this is fixed with the new engine.

            Obviously I'd prefer they work on gameplay, etc, but if they have to spend time on fixing up the fighting engine (which was needed), I hope they go the full monty.
            Like you said, have the CPU start fights. It'd also be cool if you could be a spectator of a fight on the ice, and even instigate one while another is going.

              EA for sure needs to improve the fighting in their series. Fighting is part of the game and EA ignored this side of the game for many years (bench is empty during the scrum and players on ice are non-existence as well). But fighting engine, IMHO, is not enough for me to shed my hard earned cash. Without significant improvement in gameplay, BaGM (offline) and presentation....im staying away from NHL 14. Perhaps its time to play other games for awhile.
