NHL 14 Gameplay Video - E3 2013

[onac22]

I don't think the huge emphasis was on a dramatic gameplay makeover this year. More was put into the overall experience from what EA has put out. Things like a deeper BAP or the fighting. So from what I was able to see a little cleaner AI play and the physics at play. The hit on Seabrook in the corner looked pretty nice.

Thats should have been a goal. The blade when he hit the puck was definitely below the crossbar

Looks to be a roster update and a new fight engine. Wow.

How about the New Conference/Division?

How about the New Conference/Division?

They probably won't even have that in the game and will have to patch it in because they forgot. I mean it is too much to ask for current announcers and the correct number of officials on the ice. Instead we get the net coming off 20 times and the glass breaking 3 times a game. "EA Sports, it's in the game"

It just really does not look like they added much of anything into the game this year. It's really a shame. I may be skipping this year unless they come out with some late news regarding BaGM.

Don't really wanna be 'that' guy... but what the heck have they done this year? I didn't noticed anything different about hits or AI. The presentation still looks atrocious. okay so a new fight engine... why couldn't they at least re-vamp the celebrations? that is by far the worst looking thing in the game. Look how terrible it looks after that deflection goal in the beginning... I love ea nhl and i loved nhl 13.... but seriously.... wtf?

Again, I think you guys will see that the net effect change to gameplay is pretty good. I agree that the presentation is looking pretty stale at this point, but clearly they're waiting till next-gen. For NHL 14, I feel the hitting, fighting, defensive skating upgrades, new deke system and other subtle adjustment are meaningful changes, but clearly everyone isn't going to see it that way. I'd wait till the demo to fully make your decision.

The game play very well.

[Wiggy]

^^that should be "plays very well."

Re: NHL 14 Gameplay Video - E3 2013

The awkward celebration into zomebie skate looks ridiculous, as does Quick's brain being deactivated after the puck crossed the line. I know it's just a few seconds of really bad players playing, but I'm underwhelmed.

i always get slammed for saying this, but i could honestly dig up my thoughts and reviews on the game since 07 and it wouldn't change much at all.

so frustrating. it almost makes me wish i didnt love the NHL in general so much. that way i would enjoy the game a bit more and not try to tweak it to play the way it should out of the box.

i honestly wish they would look at the tweaks some of us have made lately to get the game to play very well. use those type of sliders as default. bc they are for casual guys, up to the hardcore guys, the game plays so much better after some tweaks etc.

This just doesn't look like NHL hockey to me. Stale presentation, lack of defensive pressure and AI. It's going to be a second consecutive year of not purchasing this game for me. Sorry EA, I think you've lost me.

Somehow, I need to blame myself in playing NHL 13, not only because of the lack of attention of EA to offline gamers, but because of my passion for the game. I really like the game of hockey, either playing or watching or playing the video game, and it frustrates me when EA produces the game that is so way out to the actual game. I know this is only a video game, but at least make it feel real, example of which is NBA 2k13 and The Show.

I really really hope that there will be another hockey video game out there. I hope Sony will produce ala The Show for NHL (since I am buying PS4 next year ). So much potential for EA's NHL to shine but its not really living it's expectations.

The only reason why their sales is high for NHL is because there's no competition. Not much effort and investment necessary to produce this game, that's why not much improvement.

Re: NHL 14 Gameplay Video - E3 2013

i would love to see where Sony's NHL Faceoff series would be if they didnt give up on it. if they even put in 50% effort compared to The Show, im sure it would be so much better than what EA has been doing..

Re: NHL 14 Gameplay Video - E3 2013

Checking physics are still terrible. And another clear missed charge/hit from behind/boarding call. Only good thing was Quick didn't warp to the post to stop that Hossa tip-in like he would in 13.
