It reminded me of the awful wwf warzone recorded fmv's on the original playstation

In one of the games, I was carrying the puck going into the zone, my teammates were still in NZ, the AI defense guy (just 1 because pass by th other one) did not evn put defensive pressure or whatsoever, was able to skate near the goalie and scored a backhand. Instead of having the joy of scoring...i was so pissed at the d-man not even making a contact or give prssure to help his goalie. I know this is just a demo, which is supposed to be a foretaste of the game....but this demo is giving a very sour and bitter taste. Yeah, even after venting out in this forum, I can still taste the awful taste of this game.

Are you playing on rookie? I get pressured all the time on all star. At least once I hit the offensive zone.

As for penalties I don't understand how people expect a ton of penalties on a 2 minute period when fresh guys are always on the ice!?

I guess people want a penalty every 20 seconds?

Is the gameplay a giant leap forward? No. Its only evolutionary. But the NHL team is probably the same size as the madden art team, and they aren't going to make it hardcore "Sim" and lose 90% of the little market they have.

I agree but they need to stop promoting, "For our hardcore players, we have..."

I remember when false advertising was a crime.

But they don't. They don't even promise a Sim really.

They promise an "authentic hockey" experience. Never have they said its the hardcore hockey simulator.

We will never get NZ pressure and full stick on body collisions because they have decided its not "fun".

I forgot to put this: All Star - Hardcore.

Gameplay is evolutionary? I thought evolution go forward and continuous improvement, this game IS SO FAR behind what you call evolutionary, IMO.

I am not saying to make it SOLELY SIM, at least give your consumer A CHOICE. When EA say hardcore, I EXPECT HARDCORE, as in hardcore/true to life hockey ala NHL...and not just bump the AI to a super-dooper-godly-player.

He must be on rookie and great points man its freakin 6 minute demo and people wanna see everything but most of that depends on how you play !
I also like when I start trouble and dont drop the gloves we both go off for two.

Its so nice Ea hasnt turned this into a sim rpg like the show has become because its really cool to feel like what I do matters through being interactive as it should still be a video game first .

I mean its a video game have fun and even after a great game they worry that pass % was a tad high , shots were low ect lol so it wrecked the whole experience

Fun is a factor and if you want a hardcore sim go find many cpu hockey games , strato is a great one

Just preordered it. I haven't sought out any info on Be A GM. But being their first game on next gen, and me not playing the game last year, I'll be very disappointed if Be A GM feels the same as it did in 13...

sliders are your friend and its not easy but i can make the game play any way i want while still playing sim but seriously enjoy all the good things this game does too or why even play if it upsets you so .
