Typical trailer... Showed off some skating stuff, and goalie stuff a bit I'd think. Hard to really gather anything from it though.

Waiting for some real gameplay videos. The beta won't do much for me since I don't play online, but I may get involved anyways just to get a chance to play, skate, shoot, defend etc to see if changes are noticeable to see if it's actually worth a buy.

Re: NHL 17 Gameplay Trailer

Certainly not enough to get me hyped up for an EA hockey game at this point, but some of those saves looked pretty good, some of the net front jostling looked pretty good, and a couple of goals that trickled or deflected in off weird bounces looked welcome. In particular the deflection off of the tie up that I believed featured Thornton looked promising. Also I don't think I've seen the toe drag Tarasenko performed somewhere in there before? Maybe I'm wrong. Either way, not gonna get excited over a short sizzle reel, but some small tidbits caught my eye.

Re: NHL 17 Gameplay Trailer

I'd like to know what the struggle behind putting a 5-man hug celebration into the game is. It really doesn't seem that hard.

Personally, I can't stand the celebrations in the game. Every one of them. It's just not realistic. 99.9999999% of the time after a goal in hockey you see the players jump up and skate together for a 5-man hug. Then they go fist bump the guys on the bench. Every single time. I'd prefer having just one animation of a 5-man hug celebration over 500 of these over-the-top soccer-like celebrations.

Besides that, the trailer was decent for a sizzle trailer. I didn't really like that desperation save by the goalie where he throws his body in a backwards 180 to make the save. I did like the tie ups and net battles though. Anything with physicality besides big hits I will welcome with open arms.

Agreed....but I also think roster share should be a simple addition also. Should not be called a gameplay trailer there is no actual gameplay footage. I guess it was their typical quickie showing off a few things
