Not surprisingly, they botched the Stars uniforms.

Also, the players bodies just look weird, not quite human.

Agreed about the bodies. I can't put my finger on exactly what, but something about them is off.

Not counting goalies, there's 18 players dressed for each team in the finals. That's 36 players. Of 36, the following wear the 4500:

Greene Lewis Clifford Gaborik Zuccarello McDonagh J. Moore Martinez Nash Carter that's more than 1/4 of all players playing in the finals. Now add huge names like Toews, Stamkos, Malkin, Getzlaf, etc. If there is one helmet that nearly a quarter of the league wears it isn't really nitpicking to want it in the game.

Again, I'm not one to get upset because a random stick is missing or gloves don't look the way I want them to. This is something different. The 4500 not being in the game is kind of like third jerseys not being in the game. Can you live without it? Sure, but it's pretty unacceptable for it to be excluded.

That's on Bauer I believe. They want to showcase the new helmets. It's annoying because a ton of guys wear them. It's still in the code, just not available when creating/editing a player.

I'm a huge fan boy of the NHL series, I loved NHL 13 and NHL 14 even more.

Having said that, that trailer looks AWFUL. They are touting the physics in this game? Did you not see Kane's goal? Those physics looked terrible. Look at his back hand shot follow through, thats the mechanics of just chipping the puck in. Watch the real play its presumably based on, his bottom raises up almost to his head with the stick sky high. Yeah I know its just 1 backhand shot, but the point is the physics are way off which is what they are touting the game on.

The 2 things that look great are the stadium and the announcing. Game play and physics look average to below average....The problem is stadium and announcing is cool for the fist 40-50 games of play, but after awhile you've seen it all and heard it all, and what matters is the game play.

I mean if they have some kind of intelligent announcing with the rise in the voice and yelling players names at crucial moments, thats a giant leap forward. But call me skeptical, thats easily set up for a trailer....

NHL15 Datsyuk doesn't look like real Datsyuk at all. Or how about Tavares? Oh dear Lord Stanley! I just don't understand how EA manages to **** up faces like that. And how on earth they have to make faces look cartoonish? (FIFA series anyone?)

Crowd and arenas look great. Faces, **** they are ugly.

Looks like Dats to me, but I also think Joe Thorton looked fairly spot on in the earlier shot that people picked apart.

I'll be hasty but put your heart at rest this game became the cinderella of EA sports game, IMO the trailer is the worst of all, features notes lacks in all part of game, instead seems to me on other games there are so much new improvement features, as for screenshots.
I do not want to be negative, for me the nhl 14 was not so bad, but the E3 it seems to me confirm my ruminations. Or on next-gen this game will not make a quantum leap as big as the others. And I understand now why last year the 14 was not already out on next-gen as others. Simply because it is the game where EA invests less. I am the first who hopes to be refuted .. but for now I am very skeptical.

Re: NHL 15: E3 Trailer

Individual celebrations still occur all the time:

Spoiler

As long as it ends with a nice, group hug, I'm down with some user controlled celie's.

SMH what is wrong with User Celebration. I want to be able to control how I celebrate. I know Hockey fans don't like celebrations in Hockey but damn they don't even want in Video Game.

Don't get me started on today's hockey culture.
All players must be robots. Nobody is allowed to have any interesting quotes.
The only time players can show emotion is when the game is out of hand. Then, and only then, can you show emotion by punching someone in the face or spearing someone's junk.
Then it's "That's good old Canadian hockey, right there, eh!".

But heaven forbid you celebrate a goal with more than a slight nod or fist-bump.
And heaven help you if you ever publicly declared how you'd like to score more than 40 goals.
I forgot that all players have to be 20goal, 60-point two-way players. Anything else, and you're not a 'team player'.

My bet is yes. The trailer said it was all actual gameplay. I know that doesn't mean the commentary is automatically in-game, but I sure hope it was.

Everything I've read said it's actual commentary. At least the various outlets reporting on the trailer say one of the great things about the trailer is the new commentary.

That alone is going to make the game so refreshing since we have been listening to the same commentary for so many years.
