Looks great!...Now where is the picture of Patrice Burgeron???

Off topic, but remember when NHL2k had playoff beards? Such a cool little feature that made a significant immersion feel.

All I can say is that if Brent Burns mountain man face isn't in this game I'm boycotting!

Visually Im very impressed so far as I have no issue with gameplay offline but hopefully they update faces and at least get the starting 20 man rosters in the game and still no new goalie mask designs ?

Is EA really gonna neglect basics like real faces until the ps5
Maybe they just have limited resources but shouldnt having a real face on most players be basic in 2014 ?
Still cant wait till September for this game

that looks like bergy from his rookie year.
So that pic is accurate if this were 10 years ago

I just think it's amazing that every screen they've chosen to show off has been a face that's so dated, both in that the player no longer looks like that anymore AND that the technology used to take their scan all those years ago wasn't on par with what we have now. Why not at least show guys like MacKinnon or Landeskog who actually still look like their scans because they've only been around a couple of years and the technology when they had their scans done was more recent and of better quality? Honestly WHY show us this picture of Bergeron? The ice, environment, lighting and gear could be shown off with any player; it could be anyone in Bergeron's place. Why show a Bergeron who clearly has an 8 year OLD scan to demonstrate your NEW game when you could show MacKinnon, who would look as new and fresh as possible. Bergeron just clearly doesn't look like that anymore. What's the thought process that goes on behind "hmm, we're going to release ONE screen... want to show off the new graphics and our unprecedented player likenesses... let's use screens of guys whose faces we scanned last decade!"

Yeah its kind of scary thinking isnt it EA NHL does so much right and then misses little things like a using a rookie Patrice face ?

They must know most out there that follow the game are Hardcore NHL fans and will pick apart the smallest mistakes .

Somebody needs to make an OS drinking game built around people bringing up now-defunct game series like NFL/NHL2K.
