It looks like they use a six person by six person block and then repeat it with different clothes. Seems minor but it totally takes away from the immersive experience. The players jerseys look to have better lighting and shading though, I just wish most sports games would give some care and focus on the crowds to really capture the feel of the game. I hope GameFace makes it into NHL 14 too. AND custom logos to create-a-team. I want to create the Charleston Chiefs from Slap Shot!

So you would rather the developers spend their time working on a non-gameplay feature, than actual gameplay? Of course, I'm referring to the crowd. I do want custom logos and such, or at least MORE

I'm giving EA NHL a mulligan for this year no matter what, i'm not expecting much, i imagine they're going to be focused on tooling up the game for next gen for NHL 15. I'll still buy 14.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! Too funny but u know that's not coming til next gen.


As for what I believe this pic is referencing it the Infinity Engine, hopefully the second coming of it as per NCAA14, and most likely Madden 25.

We'll see come Monday.

No more players BOUNCING off of the ice from checks. It's ice.
