Not sure to what extent the arenas are improved/changed, but the one in the 3rd screen certainly looks new.

At first glance I thought it was a "classic" arena but on closer inspection it looks like an international arena.

Yeah, it does get my hopes up a little bit, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's just a single new rink, for "international" games. Not that we can really see many details in the other screens, but the rinks look pretty much the same to me...

The arenas look the same to me.

Also a possibility.

What's up with the barrier around the rink in the 3rd pic? Fans can't pound the glass or whatever this year?

That's what makes me think it's a new arena, as I don't recall seeing that setup before. That combined with the ice markings give the impression that it is a European rink... whether it's a single generic one or something else is unknown.

As much as I hate to be that guy, these screens look almost identical to NHL 11. I mean, Stamkos' face is still WAY off. There is even NHL 11 signage in the 5th screen...

I know there is a long way to go, but visually, the game looks the same.
