Presentation, Presentation, Presentation!!

When's the last time they updated presentation for this game???

Same commentary, same arenas, same stat overlays, same crowd, etc for the past 3 or 4 years. Now, I know this is the last game on this gen so it probably won't be touched this year, but for next gen I really hope they look to improve presentation.


I want more authentic arenas. For example, the Tampa Bay Times Forum...




I think the organ would look awesome in the game. Also, the crowd needs some improvement. Maybe some arena specific chants and team specific goal horn/songs (doubt that's possible though). I know a lot of arenas are generic looking, but most of them have something unique about them.

What would you guys like to see added to presentation??

And I would obviously like to see gameplay fixed before presentation, but it's 2013. We should have both by now.

I'm with you. Presentation needs a major update for 14.

ALL TEAM specific intros, more stat overlays. Each intermission, go around your league and report scores (highlights would also be great).

Late in the season reports on the playoff picture. Goal specific songs (doubt we will ever see that by EA since they want us to do that on our own)

Ice level reporting...

The closest they did to updating arenas was last year's slight improvement.

I don't epect any major presentation improvements until next gen, unfortunately.

Sadly enough, you might be right.

The do Edmonton and San Jose and then stop, I just don't get it?

THey forgot about Carolina, Dallas, Detroit, Vancouver, JUST to name a few of the unique intros teams have in the NHL.

Dissapointing.

No way they would be able to get the actual break in play music and other moment specific songs, just maybe the organs but that is about it.

"if its in the game...dont expect it in EA game" should be the motto of EA, particularly NHL series.

seriously, this is one of the things i will pay close attention to before deciding to buy or not.

I feel like they've been neglecting the European leagues as well. I get that the main focus is on the NHL but for an example:

When you play a home game with a team from the Swedish Elitserien you always play in the Globe Arena. However, no team actually play there.
But, when you play a home game with Sweden's national team (who actually plays in the Globe Arena) you play in a generic weird supposed to be European arena.

I mean what the h!? It may be a small issue for some but it just feels so ridiculous sometimes.
