I get that they can't control Xbox Live, but why not have something ready to go as a backup plan?
They had a stream pushed back to release day.

Right. Which was asinine, and one would think they would've learned from that and had something in place as a back up plan.

Show us an offline game/period/whatever they deem to be roughly on par with what we would've seen today with this.

Consider yourselves lucky that a large part of Twitch's viewership is watching a speedrunning charity marathon at the moment - otherwise there would be so many more trolls in chat for this.

Yeah, they weren't very prepared. There were a lot of questions up in the air they could have addressed, at least. Or, they could have played something else from the game. Perhaps show us something offline.

Instead they sat in silence most of the 25 minutes and looked like GW Bush when the planes hit the towers on 9/11. :/

I missed the first period. Heard the stream playing from my computer from the other room and had to come back in.

Re: NHL 16 EASHL Beta Gameplay Now Streaming On Twitch

Finally. Some very quick things:

+ Liking some of the new pass reception animations.
+ Game does at least appear to possibly be tighter all around, and at least a little bit more detailed visually as well.


- Not seeing the new strafing stuff from that video a couple weeks ago?
- These guys are a cluster****, gameplay wise. 5 blue guys chasing the puck around everywhere all the time - though I suppose YMMV when playing EASHL either way
- Neon stuff everywhere is distracting, though again, EASHL.
