Man, they are really selling this NHL 94 mode as something special aren't they? Oh well. Can't wait to try out the game since the majority of the improvements this year are to gameplay.

sigh..

per usual just getting a 3rd period to play.

Madden 25 Demo, full game, 5 minute quarters.
NCAA 14 Demo, full game, 3 minute quarters.
NHL 14 Demo, a 3rd period, 5 minute period.

hopefully the gameplay improvements are worth while..

Ugh, ridiculous that it's only a 3rd period.

I'm hoping to stream the demo Tuesday night for a few hours so we can see some gameplay improvements.

[Dazraz]

Why can they not give us a full game? A couple of different teams would be nice too.

Can't agree more. Madden 25 looks amazing from what I saw in the demo. NHL 14 looks amazing as well. I'm pulling for EA SPORTS; things look excellent thus far.

The best thing to ever happen to ea sports was recieving worst company award or whatever it was called. It's been a long while since all the all games across the board look even decent. Today all the games I see from them look special and sports game of the year potential. Kudos to ea sports for stepping there game up literally and showing fans they do have pride and care about making quality products.

Madden seemed like the same crap hole it has been. Lack of awareness from DBs, running is too easy on lower settings. Pocket presence is garbage.
