Pucking Ridiculous: Destination Presentation

[RaychelSnr]

Hey everyone, thank you for reading another edition of Pucking Ridiculous (The OBG Chronicles).

This article has been on my mind for a long time now so I'm excited to dive into it headfirst, not only see what I come up with, but also to see what the community has to say. So, of course, your comments are always appreciated, welcomed and encouraged.

So far the NHL 11 season is off to a good start. The EA Canada team has done well to deliver yet another solid title with enough additions to not only justify throwing down 60 bucks, but also enough to keep most of us happy until the next release. That said, of course there is always room for improvement, and I'm sure we all have ideas for future versions of the game.

Personally, I'm ready to see the EA developers match the work they have done on the gameplay side of the NHL series by focusing with the same intensity and fervor on the presentation element in this series. Don't get me wrong, EA's NHL series does have decent presentation. Hell, I'd even say it's good presentation. However, in essence, there's a lot missing.

Yeah, that wasn't my doing...I'll be sure to pass it on to Chris. He or whoever posted the article mispelled the title.

But thanks for pointing it out as though it weren't obvious to everyone.

They need to have the winter classic. I was so disappointed it wasnt in this years game but it's a must for next season. And the ability to put facial hair on players would be cool too.

The lack of presentation features was the first thing that struck me with NHL 11. Although the game is certainly a worthy upgrade from NHL 10 the lack of attention to this area is certainly evident. With 2K's awesome presentation on both their NBA & MLB games & the likelihood that they will release a NHL game next year it is important for EA that they address this part of their game.

I dunno, although NHL 11's presentation is "lacking", the general art design, font choices, and overall graphics package seems more contemporary compared to 2K Sports.
Just my observation, and since I work in graphic design, I probably focus on stuff you guys wouldn't notice as much.
