Honestly, I added the question because I hope if they see this question a few times maybe they will realize something needs to be done. I know that's probably a pipe dream based on the questions they actually show there, but for me the lack of player, and team differentiation is a non starter. If we could just have ratings, and tendencys that mattered, it would make ALL modes within the game better. This is me

I hope they fix a couple of issues I have with the game. The defensive men are always out of position on offense and never play the boards well. The passing in the game is horrible, it automatically determined how hard the pass was and if it was saucered or not. The CPU would get cheese goals when playing on the hardest difficulty.

A lot of my complaints are to do with the A.I. it looks like, so hopefully EASHL will fix that for me.

Are national teams back in the game ? When I watched season mode video, I saw only leagues listed, not NT-s !?

I see a ton of encouraging things here. Yeah, a lot of it is returning features, but that's pretty much what I wanted at this stage.

This.

If it's not there, despite all of the fan feedback demanding it, it's completely inexcusable.

Its a nice list of features (to bring back), and sounds like a couple nice additions. If they don't bring back edit player though (even if it's only outside of GM mode similar to Madden right now) then I may consider passing on this. EA's roster support for the NHL series is pretty terrible, which is very disappointing considering how bad the rosters typically are to start with.

I was hoping EA will have something about player and team differentiation and not just different atmosphere!

I am more skeptic with this announcement of EA.

I ask for more video, just like the guy who posted about Crosby and the other player, where there's not much of a difference, skating, handling puck etc.

I will not be duped again EA.

Now that the modes from PS3 are back......day one purchase. I am still playing NHL 13.

Time to get an NHL game for my PS4.

Agreed.

At this point, I would literally assess every single goalie attribute in the game if I knew EA was looking at my ratings. I just want to know that there is a difference between players (in my case, goalies), and a difference between teams in the next step. Hell, I would analyze every single goalie animation if I knew there was a purpose to it.

But it ain't so.
