NHL 12 Blog - Presentation

[HawkeyMediaPlus]

EA Sports has posted an NHL 12 blog discussing the presentation of the game, written by Presentation Producer, Ben Ross.

Quote:

One of the first changes you’ll notice is the Presentation Flow and that the player’s being focused on and selection of replays being featured is much better. A lot of work went into ensuring that if a user is thinking, “Wow, what a save!” that the replay of that scoring chance will be the one shown during the next stoppage and not just a random play that didn’t have a big impact in that sequence of gameplay.

I love how they say broadcast presentation yet completely omit a broadcast like camera?

Top down is fine great i get it better for gameplay etc just like the top down we've been playing in madden for years and any respectable hockey game since. But i can not understand why(well i think i do ) there hasn't been an attempt at a broadcast camera.

the game is WATCHED from side view when we watch it on tv. In person that get tossed out the window because hockey looks good live from any angle just like soccer. but if i'm PLAYING it ON a TV I want it to look like a TV game...Nuff said. I've vented

Next year and thank goodness for season pass...
because this is def a try before i buy

I like the fact that they've changed the way replays are dome during breaks in play. No more random replays after a great save or shot! And proper cut scenes during and after goals!!!

Yeah, they're asking for a password. What is all that about?

Yeah it's something on EA's end. Just press cancel and the text will show. I'm sure they'll fix the pic problem soon.

It used to be like this back in NHL 98-2004ish.. They'd show replays of things that had just happened in the game.


Another thing that EA removed then re-branded as a new feature.

Yup. In all honesty though, there is just so much you can do before you can add anything else, but I agree some of this stuff they're calling "new" when it clearly isn't, is just stupid.

I just noticed a spelling mistake in my post "dome" is "done", just in case people were wondering.

Bought a new keyboard today, still trying to get used to it.
