True Broadcast is back (in two forms) and I wrote oodles more that y'all should scope out. I also will look through some of those questions today and see which I can answer.

ON TOP OF THAT, if you have new gameplay questions you want to ask now after reading everything, let me know and I will try to answer them or get them to the devs to answer.

For the record, they're just not talking about those things yet, they even left those modes off our builds so we couldn't even poke around. I have no idea how much has or has not changed, but they were explicit about saying that was for later in the cycle when they would talk about them.

You mentioned there are more point shots by dmen. Is that in normal gameplay or only in high pressure situations. From nhl 21 to 23, the dmen rarely shot, unless editing their attributes, which helps, but still not real NHL dmen shot frequency.

Can you discuss about this more in depth?

Regarding the goalie fatigue scenario, can we toggle this on or off just in case the mechanic is unbalanced.

Thanks

Of all things, Icon Passing excites me the most. There is NOTHING more infuriating in past games than trying to build o-zone pressure only for my player to pass the puck right out of the zone down to my goalie when I was damn sure I was holding directly at my Dman.

It just drove me up the wall how passing felt when I wanted to play the game at a rate that felt similar to how when I used to play hockey myself. And it just wasn't feasible it seemed.

Icon Passing is going to be a breath of fresh air when I click the icon and I know precisely who the pass is going to. Thank the hockey gods.

Great write up Chase

1. Did it feel like the AI was using the 1-3-1 properly? Last year, it never looked like the AI could quite get a good handle on it. Also, curious about PP AI in general during your time previewing the game.

2. Can you say more about replays? Were replays for CPU goals shown (maybe I missed this and you said yay or nay there)?

3. Is True Broadcast Legacy the camera from 22 and prior years OR is there a new broadcast cam this year and Legacy is the updated camera from 23?

Are you allowed to say something about the new player likenesses. I mean the new added real faces ? Or to say something about the headshot Images of the players ? The same way like the years before, that we will see so much black silhouettes instead of pictures ?
