What's cool is that NHL 15 will have arena exteriors.

Gameplay >>>> commentary.

IMO the commentary is a long way down the list of concerns.

The players and teams have to distinguish themselves.

I really like what I'm hearing so far. Having played hardly any new NHL since '12, IMHO, the game has really failed to develop itself. Even going from '09 to '12, they still felt so much the same.

Now we all know teasers never look like the final product, so I'm hesitant to believe much there. New commentary is good, but I'd still prefer two separate teams of commentators. Understanding the teams have fairly limited development time, this is something that can be added in over time. My other concerns center around core gameplay and the game modes themselves. Since the last time I played Be A GM Mode, it needed a lot of work. Has it been addressed at all, or was this sacrificed so they could get a good-looking crowd?

Authentic arenas: all I can say is, it's about time. I'll be on the lookout for, "Welcome to Comcast Country."
Puck physics: this has been touted for something like three years in a row now. Mix it up a bit? Actually get them to work?

These things do sound more positive to me as compared to what I've been hearing out of the next Madden. I'll feel better about getting behind this when they give us substance over the superficial.

i really hope they would work on a BOXSCORE Exporter after the games you played offline and online.

What does this comment even mean? It's not like NHL has had real coaches represented in game since NHL 07. So I'm not sure what little dig you're trying to toss out here but it's pretty silly.
