Then another hour to double check that they didn't change back.

Worth the time and effort, however, if they actually change the gameplay on the ice.

Also really hope there is going to be a separate reveal about gameplay, otherwise this game sounds like much of the same tired ****.

Then again, there are enough glitches and terrible videos out there to sink some products as they are I suppose...

I dunno, Madden's sliders seem to work decent enough?

The franchise mode scares the hell out of me because i'm dreading the illogical owner goals they used in earlier versions that were pre-set and unmodifiable and not linked to actual team performance. It made certain franchises (including the Hawks) unplayable. You would always have the goal "get the first overall pick" and trading for it didn't count towards it. So you had to lose 50+ games and hope to win the lottery too or you'd be fired. Oh you won 3 straight Cups? Too bad, you're fired.

Tie-ups! ****ing finally.

Since Be a Pro is one of my most played modes I was hoping they add the ability ti start in any league I want before getting drafted (Im swedish so...).
Much like FIFA career mode where you can start anywhere you want. Game face would've been nice addition also.
Guess I have to wait for that, maybe next gen.

Other than that, feels good Create a Team is back finally and arena editor seems interesting, might buy it just for that.

I'm really hoping they steal a page (and then a bunch more) from The Show's team, and add the ability to share sliders. I hate manually editing all of those things, having something not save right, and going and having to spend 20 minutes to do it all over again.

Well, you can have 1000 point sliders, but if they do close to nothing, its useless, right?
