NHL 16 Screenshots - All of the Mascots

Re: NHL 16 Screenshots - All of the Mascots

I don't think people are angry about the Mascots I think there is a frustration that they release things like this but with 3 weeks until release there is not one offline game video clip. Not one...(that quick unplanned clip of 2 guys playing as Rangers/Detroit aside). With past offline disappointments there is good reason to be apprehensive and frustrated.

This ^

Not one game play video except that 1 min clip and this game comes out for ea access members Sept 10 yet I could find plenty of videos for madden or fifa Nba live or Pes or star wars or any other game but this. People who mainly play offline haven't seen any game play or have seen how the AI reacts etc and with no demo and what happened last year I and others remain skeptical and concerned that this is just nhl 15 with tweaks and EASHL

I do like the mascots. I think it's a nice touch and adds to the presentation. I always welcome presentation advancements. I would also like to see offline gameplay like the rest of you guys. In order for a game to be good, it needs a good mix of solid gameplay and great presentation. The presentation side of things seems to be improved. I just want to see if the gameplay side has been improved as well.

Sadly I don't think that is the United Center. From this pic and the videos that I have looked at I just have a bad feeling it's still not it. I hope I'm wrong

EXACTLY. I wasn't complaining about the addition of mascots at all. I'm simply frustrated that this is the big news release they choose to share 3 weeks before the game comes out, while NOTHING has been shown or even mentioned about offline gameplay.

Re: NHL 16 Screenshots - All of the Mascots

The gameplay stuff has been shared in the Ask EA stuff, and I notice they answer Facebook comments a lot.

But the twitter sphere and kids want the pretty stuff, not essays on offensive and d defensive AI

I don't see a big issue with the lack of gameplay videos. I played a ton of 2v2 EASHL demo, which features a ton of AI situations.

The mascots look good. I'm happy EA NHL is trying to bring some character to the arenas. Arena character has been much better in games like the show/Madden/NCAAF(RIP)/NBA2k, for years.

Sure you can make the argument that the heads working on mascot should have been working on 'x' instead, but at least they are building the game up.
