Out of all the commentators, Chicken Parm sounds the best, to be honest.

Would like to see some broadcast cam videos. Looks good so far though.

Everything looks pretty damn good except two things seem to be directly ported from the last gen versions which is the goalies (they behave exactly the same as on 360, I dont even see different animations) and the sound effects (slap shot, puck off glass, etc) don't seem like they were changed either

Looks good visually. Gameplay looks like NHL 14, which for me, is a good thing. I just don't think we're going to see that quantum leap in gameplay and animations with the economic framework of contemporary big developer, licensed, sports gaming.

Looking forward to putting another 100+ hours into an NHL game.

Like what I'm seeing presentation wise, really helps with immersion. Hopefully late in the 3rd of a close game Doc gets more excited. Seems to be playing a little bit slower which is welcome. Some small animation changes on cuts look good. Hits still OP but hopefully tuners can fix that. Jersey move a bit too much but that's not a big deal for me. Looking forward to hours and hours of be a gm come this fall. here's to hoping eashl made its way into the game as well.

A lot familiarities there, but hopefully it feels different. The same could be said about FIFA and Madden last year on the PS4 just looking at videos, but I found both games to feel 10 times better when actually playing. Goalies do look awfully familiar though.

Graphically things are looking better than anticipated - liking the look of the new player models in motion for the most part, as well as the freeflowing jerseys and puck. Can't wait to set up my own camera angle and lose that puck shadow (I really, really, really hope this is still an option).

Hitting/general collision physics look essentially the same as they have been for the past few years - not very good. 3 guys running into each other and all falling over backwards in the one video? Is this tyke level hockey? Come on.

Hopefully now that they've put these videos out in the wild we'll start seeing some more gameplay from different angles, different situations, etc.

It's going to suck missing out on the slick presentation and smooth gameplay if they don't have EASHL this year.

Graphics and presentation look superb.

Is it just me or did anyone else not see that much Vision AI? I was watching defense in the zone, and the defense seemed lukewarm (Ryan O'Reilly just skating parallel to Parise and giving up comes to mind).

But I really want Human-CPU gameplay before I pass judgement.

NHL15 has set the standard for presentation. That looked amazing can't wait to play this game on EA Access, and I don't know anything about hockey!

A lot of offense and defensive lapses in the video. Most of it seemed to be tied in to the people controlling the players though. Still didn't see cpu guys using poke checks, but it was 1 vs. 1 and they switched to the closest man and played worse D than the cpu did. I'm not sure they would show much defense because it's hard to make a trailer and still impress the casuals with defense. The puck on the dump in looked pretty good. It also looked like the puck didn't float through guys to magically land on another person's stick.

I'm still going to buy it day one, but the puck still going through pucks and people worries me. I imagine the sliders can fix stick on stick collisions somewhat, but I doubt anything can be done about body. Goalies look better, but still give up goals they shouldn't. They should give up goals because they're out of position instead of just guessing wrong, if that makes sense. It's hard to tell if neutral zone is any better because the game speed was a little too high for me.

Looks like alot of fun, ive always enjoyed playing NHL games. Sadly I really dont know the rules, and wouldnt have a clue as to some type of strategy to playing hockey. I always just free styled it on a lower level.

True Broadcast view!! All I care about!!! I can't waitto get my hands on this game!!

[No Pressure]

I'm actually really disappointed from what I've seen with Goalies. Still see no desperation or aggressiveness. I want a stonewall goalie to play near flawless, not let in some dinky goal becuase the other player is just slamming the deke stick to get the goalie out of position.

Those jello jerseys absolutely drive me crazy. Looks like the players are made of jiggling lard.
