    Maybe explain this to EA, since they are hot to trot with all these players they keep showing off. Funny how gameplay got pushed aside in favour of flashy new arenas and player "likeness". Gee, I wonder where the budget was spent?

      That's pretty much spot on...except the face...and the gear.

I'm not sure how Madden can include every helmet produced since 1980, yet NHL takes out all of the helmets that the top players actually wear in favor of "newer" stuff that not one NHL player wears in a game.
        It has always left me scratching my head that Madden has tons of visor options (a sport that a minority of players actually wear visors), while NHL (a sport where a majority of players now wear visors) has only 2 different visor models and only 1 manufacturer.

          hmmm...look at the lips, i'm very sure its not because of the lighting.

            Since most gamers don't stare at players face...why EA is wasting its limited resources on faces??? Why not improve the GAMEPLAY...GAMEPLAY...GAMEPLAY? How about the different modes such as BaGM (offline) and Living a Life?

                  And most of the player likeness shots they've shown are either really close or spot on. Cept not to the usual naysayers who naysay every year regardless.

                    We went over this already, they'll show gameplay closer to release and the demo will be out in about a month anyway. Patience is a virtue. This isn't any different than the last 3 years at least.

                      I will say it doesn't look a whole lot like him but I still can't wait to play this.

                        I agree, realistic faces are nice, but I honestly won't even be paying attention that anyway. Not like I'm going to go into instant replay and go up and down every single player bench and look at their faces. I'm more concerned about gameplay and I could careless if JVR or Seth Jones don't look like themselves. Doesn't bother me one bit.

                          I honestly never spent the time to study JVR or any other players faces in that much detail. I'll take your word for it though. To me tho from looking at pictures of him online and comparing it to this image it looks pretty good for a video game. Is it perfect? Of course not but again its a video game...

                            infact we had the worst hockey videogames the last 3 years, good for you that your are happy with this junk joke marketing series. But as you are free to be happy, we are free to be disappointed with this farce. And we have reasonable grounds to be disappointed. trust me

                            n.b and stay sure that when we will see a decent gameplay video, we will start talking about better!

                              I don't think it looks like him.. EA pic he looks older and face is off. But I'm hoping the players actually play differently w unique skills as well as teams.. Let's hope they don't make nhl 14.5 bc the gameplay last year wasn't good.

                                I saw the same thing you did. The face scan made it look older. That is the one thing that completely through me off.
