NHL 16 E3 Gameplay Trailer

Oh and also I want to bring up player separation. A lot of people have already said it but it is a must for this game. It doesn't make sense how the worst players in the league can play just the same as some of the best in the league.

It is a good and informative read. Check it out when you have the chance. Seems like it was written by someone who actually knows the series.

Other than the guy saying Horvak instead of Horvat . In all honesty though you are correct. It is a very good article and the first article I've read on that website since NHL 09 probably. This guy actually focused on stuff that wasn't all about hitting and fighting.

Coming from you, an avid Wild Fan - Nhl video game player- EA loyalist (my IMO), this is huge. Never thought you gave up in 15 and not playing that game for sure hard for you.

I just hope what you mean by adult version is not rated X ok But I think I know what you mean by that: REAL NHL game and not just scoring/hitting fest just like what EA is shoving down our throats.

I 110% agree. I am very new in this game and I still learning the stuffs....if CH2k8 was deep this is deeper by 3x over. If you are a SIM NHL game fan, this is it.

Drop 5-10 minutes of gameplay and lets see what you've got.

If EVER they will give us the gameplay, be sure that the gamers are REAL GAMERS and not EA team development (like RAMJ). I still remember him giving us the dynamics of the game and its full of crap. I want, IF POSSIBLE, the gameplay from people who knows NHL game, just like the guy in IGN who wrote that fantastic article.

I'm fully aware that none of the footage shown was gameplay.

The Good:
- Goalie Glove (old news, but since this trailer was made in advance, this shows that they worked on fixing some basic goalie things early)
- Kronwall Sidestep (not easy to do in NHL15, precision skating or the new strafe move?)
- Taresenko Reaching for the Puck (seamless puck pickups?)

The Bad/Ugly:
- Goalie Momentum/Questionable Positioning during Triangle Play (why so aggressive?)
- Every other goalie movement

Other:
Compare the trailers @ E3 from 15 to 16

15 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jEgFzpsPMA
16 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDumJG4RXt8

In 16, the 'plays' we get to see in the second half of the trailer last much longer compared to clips in 15. In 15 they're maybe half a second each with the exception of the backhand snipe. I believe this was because in 15, EA knew they had NOTHING except visuals which is why the editing was done like that.
For this year they seem to be showing clips about the features they've announced which will make the target on them that much bigger should these features fail.

^^^^ truth.

I'll be breaking down those Seamless Puck Pickups tomorrow and I think that will be a bit of a talking point.

Re: goalie animations... yeesh.



Start around 0:25 for the bad warp.
