They had to remove them to get EASHL into the game... Oh, wait.

This was horrible to watch. EA hardly releases gameplay footage so we are left watching these two trying to murder their controllers by strangulation. This didn't help the game's efforts at all from what I saw.

Well it obvious they spent almost all there time developing the graphics engine and presentation. Which in turn makes compete sense. They have a small team so instead of upgrading the graphics a bit and constantly working on it year after year (like madden and FIFA will be doing) they already have a great base to start from. Now they can focus more on gameplay every year. With the smaller team they really have to pick one or another while the other big franchises can do both if they want. I'm. It saying the graphics won't get better for the nhl series but we probably won't see another leap for another 3-4 years as in what happens last generation.

They haven't touched the core gameplay in pretty much 7 years. Goalies in 8.

Nothing in that video makes me say I gotta have this game. Will wait for the demo and mode announcements to make a decision.

The collisions looked really good, I saw board play. One thing I noticed was a player hit the boards and spin off of them which looked good to.

I'm not sure I fully agree. I don't think the reworked physics look too different from the previous versions. There isn't much evidence of dynamic player contact being something heaps better than what we already have. Perhaps a subtle improvement? I am looking at this and trying to imagine an offline game against the CPU and remember the CPU normally has bubble protection which is very noticeable through the controller. This is what the demo will reveal as opposed to watching game play vids and reading about the new changes from the devs. To me, what good is there in having these physics advancements when they don't apply to the CPU?

Also look how quickly these guys are in on an attack. They regain possession in the defensive zone make one pass and are in. There may as well be only two skaters per side. And these guys look like they are new or at most casual to the series.

Good god the two idiots playing are terrible.

Yep that looked realistic.
