Better not let me celebrate how I want, or else this will occur:

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.

As much as I want to believe it's in-game commentary, I don't think it is. You can hear noises in the commentary track that are usually heard in a real-life game broadcast and not in a virtual game. The whole commentary track is also noticeably blurred from the background music. I doubt it's in-game commentary, but I will be very impressed if anything near that level of commentary carries over to the actual NHL 15 game.

I thought it was pretty obviously it isn't in game commentary, it's spliced from real games over the footage. I too hope that with how they're pumping up the whole NBC partnership that it's more dynamic than the old script with a cheesy one liner tossed in by Clement here and there.

That's definitely not in game, unfortunately. as you said, you can hear the crowd and other noises in the back that show it's not real. I hope someone can record some gameplay that will show the new NBC presentation and hopefully commentary and other sounds so we can see what new stuff they have in this years game

I'm kinda surprised we haven't seen any of the gaming news sites with people at e3 showing footage yet. It's supposedly on the floor and playable as it has been in years past I thought?

I know it doesn't mean much to many and in the grand scheme of things if the game delivers on everything promised its not that big of a deal, but I am personally disappointed that the goalie masks are the same old same old same old. I know they cannot get the actual ones but couldn't they do a mask more team/city oriented? Like something with the liberty bell in Philly, A Hollywood themed mask in L.A., etc. etc.....Some of the masks like Montreal and Philly are downright horrible. I also hope they update goalie gear a little better. I'm one of the anal ones who tries to make all the goalies gear as accurate as possible and last year it couldn't be done to a 3rd of them due to the gear not being in game. Please don't shred me on this like I said its a personal thing for me and the game looks awesome and will be a release day purchase regardless and my main concern is gameplay.

I'm with you on this one, i'm into goalie equipments/masks as well as players helmet. Doesn't look like they bothered to bring Bauer 4500 back..... Again! It's still one of the popular helmet IRL. I would love to see updated goalie masks especially when it's onto a next gen, yet they still move sh¡t over and fix it up it seems.

Yeah I could be wrong, I was just reading articles about the trailer and most commented on how great the commentary was - if it's not from the game what a downer.

Couldn't agree more on masks and equipment. Everything else aside, I've been pretty disappointed with goalies for the last few years. Most of the masks in the game have been the same for like 5 years and look terrible, and why not have the few different brands that goalies use mask-wise. All the goalies look the exact same which really takes away from immersion too, it may be asking too much but eventually having different brands actually shaped different with different sizes would add a lot having goalies look different from one another. The color schemes for pads,especially after moving goalies around, needs an overhaul to.

Gameplay wise, they are all so robotic and there's no difference is the 3 "styles" they have. Best example is Brodeur shouldn't be doing the splits to stop a 2-1, stuff like that. I think they should have the capacity to at least have 4 or 5 actual diverse styles, which actually include different stances, saves, etc. Obviously every goalie is different but at least that would give some diversity.

Basically I think it would add a lot to the game having Quick, Lundqvist, etc look and play somewhat close to their real life counterparts, instead of the robots that are in the game now.

All this hype and they still screwed up the benches at the boston garden. Bruins should be on the left. Very simple detail.

If they incorporated goalie play styles/tendencies, that would be mind blowing, which is why I doubt we can expect it anytime soon

Re: NHL 15: E3 Trailer and Details - Release Date Set For September 9th

finally... a game that might make me buy the new system for once.... we shall see

the reason though that I have faith in this is because usually EA's NHL hockey games are the best in their 1st and 2nd versions of the system coming out... and also some of best sports video games ever imo

for examples.... NHL93-94 on the Sega Genesis

NHL 09 on the PS3... this was one of the best ever imo because of how good online play and the EASHL was...

I'm looking forward to probably picking up the PS4 and NHL15 to play in the EASHL once again.. I already have heard from several old buddies who were also addicted to the EASHL back in 09 who have said the same thing.
