Nicht so gut.

There's still a lot of warping, clipping, and weird bounces that defy the laws of physics.

Roster sharing plus ability to edit player names so we can create classic rosters. Old school equipment especially goals masks. Ability to have players skate without helmet. Custom goalie mask design.

Classic teams, it would be fun to replay a season with the original 6 or even the WHA, The kind of thing the NHL 2004-rebuilt guys do. Might as well throw in the ECHL. Yeah EA never does this kind of stuff and since they don't support PC any longer (except for FIFA) it won't happen.

This so much. I often just can't be bothered to play BaGM because of the menus.

It will be the first bit of news about it, and it looks like fans will get to choose who should be on the cover again. The GIF files shows that you could choose between 8 different players to grace this year’s cover. (N4g.com)

That blurred Florida player is for sure Barkov!

[bad_philanthropy]

Judging from the .gif I'd say the choices will be Giroux (again) or possibly Gostisbehre, Jagr or possibly Ekblad/Barkov, McDavid, Benn, Tarasenko, Pavelski, Hedman, and Kopitar or Doughty.

Why this business with the cover athlete all the time? What is it? 2003? Nobody cares. Everyone wants either screens teasing new content/features/details, fact sheets, or non-"sizzle" videos showing feature and gameplay improvements.
