Team First Presentation?

[acelang123]

HMMMMMMMMM.....

I hope this means the following things.

1.) Break In Play Music further categorized such as
a.) Music played at the end of the 3rd period (ala Dont Stop Believing - Journey in Detroit.)
b.) Music played only once a game so no repeats from the random playlist. If you go to 41 Red Wing home games, the playlist is very consistent and it's very familiar after a while.

2.) Goal songs for each player, ala Cant Drive 55 for Kronwall.
3.) Goal songs for specific situations like Hey Hey Hockeytown for the first goal of the game or horn blairs for number of goals scored.

It probably has more to do with the menu screen and such, like team wall papers and such that you'll have to purchase

Not happening....

It's definitely just going to mean an menu interface that caters to your favorite team. (i.e.: If your team is the Flyers, you'll have Claude Giroux, Chris Pronger, Brayden Schenn, etc. on the menu, as opposed to random players.)

...I really hope this isn't the case.

They've already said the menu system is team specified. I doubt anything else is team first presentation. They may have added a few more team specific intros like last year when they added the Sharks and Oilers entrances. Other than that I don't think it's much more.

I've heard persons from E3, in refference to that snippet of gameplay video, say that presentation underwent a pretty significant overhaul. It can't just be menus and such.

I hope they have all the team specific intros this year.

I hate to say so, but I doubt that'll happen this year. Then again, maybe the devs'll surprise us. Only thing I'm sure of is that Team First Presentation isn't only aesthetics like menus and backgrounds in-game.

PA announcers maybe? It's possible. All they have to do is get sound-bytes of each PA announcer introducing the team. They probably wouldn't be able to get their goal calls, but maybe team specific things like Boston's "Woo" after the goal is called could be included.

Or maybe they'll let us further customize how our teams are presented e.g. when creating teams, they may allow us to choose from a preset list of unique goal horns, or allow us to name our new arenas etc..

I think you're setting yourself up for disappointment to be honest. I doubt it will extend much beyond team selected players in menus, or a logo here or there.
