This is the only game that makes no improvement in presentation or commentary and real life referees on the ice! Every other EA game has concentrated not only on game play but everything else too. NHL should be no exception! Fine better skating and hitting but how many developer years are going to tinker around with that if a game can't be immersed in the game?! Like the use of jumbotrons during power plays, specific chants, banners on the rafters (NHL 98), real life coaches, better detailed arenas, arena names, booth commentary like Madden, maybe throw in some Hockey Night in Canada themes since you don't even use ESPN anymore. Picking your own equipment for players and goalies (colors, brands). I'm sick of this we ran out of time or we needed to work on fighting, seriously. Same old song and dance every year
