The presentation after the whistle looked pretty good when the guys finally let it play out instead of mashing the buttons to get through it

Looks awesome. The game looks so much better, the real time presentation was a long time coming. I can get over the magnet puck, because I love the new skating, looks very real.

Still disappointed in the goal celebrations. It just zooms in on the goal scorer, then a couple individual players, then the high five line. I don't get why the group hug is not part of the goal celebration, come on EA, how do you not recognize that this has to be in the game

Hopefully they were playing on default sliders, and the pass reception slider works, I'd like to see a few more passes lost.

I really like how the D-men are able to poke the puck away as the opposing team is trying to cross the blue line. Any way to make it harder to gain the zone is fine by me! There is more good than bad here for sure, can't wait to play the demo, I think this is going to be one hell of a game.

Oh, and did you guys know that they spent more time on their AI this year than in the last 3 years combined???

I see Fleury still sucks.

Skating seems so fluid and natural. I love the direction that this game has take overall. I'm looking forward to playing it, the online aspects should be solid as usual.

What is the go with flower in the NHL games....As a pens fan I always play a gm run through with the penguins and I find Fleury lets in so many random goals. Just stupid arse goals and it seems to be him more then anyother player in the last few games. I have no clue why

Still no hockey game has been invented where idiotic goalie passouts are punished by aware offensive players.

But, yeah.... that'll work as a good example.
