EA's E3 did not have NHL 14

[canucksss]

I was so disappointed not seeing NHL 14 in EA's E3 presentation. Added to it, all the EA sports titles were shown not the gameplay but bunch of CGI's.

Sure, perhaps the reason why EA skipped NCAA Football, Tiger's and NHL is because these will just be ported to the X1 and PS4. But at least, give us some details of what to expect for these products. Without news about NHL 14, I AM SO SKEPTICAL about getting this game. I guess for the first time I will not have get a new hockey game this year.

They are just going to put out nhl 13.5 same everything except for minor tweaks except for the fighting but its not exactly ground breaking ether. No more news about announcers or more presentation aspects. I think I'll wait for at least NHL 15 this next year maybe try madden its been quite a few years since I bought football at least madden 07.

I've already decided I will not buy 14. It's sad but it's the first time in a very long time. There just isn't hardly any effort put into this game. Sure I may not have seen gameplay videos or this and that, but just as derektown said it will be 13.5. Hell the NHL series has felt like .5 increments every year since 09 so why would that change.

It's really just putting all of the facts and information we know together, you can just tell that this will not be anything big. They add fighting in. It's something simple but something so many wanted. Hardly a game changing feature especially when there are so many other issues. They add a new physics engine from FIFA 13. Easy to implement because it's simply borrowing from another game but tuning for hockey. Tuning the skating. It's changing a feature that is already in the game.

I know it's still early and most info. isn't released until the beginning of July, but we haven't heard about BAGM tuning, AI tuning, and other things, which I never expected them to change for 14 anyway. It's the last game of a system cycle with a small staff. That normally means very little effort on the current systems and more focus on the new consoles. They added easily developed features that the majority wanted. This is actually the first year that I am not even considering buying. Most years I say I'm on the fence but then buy into the hype. I am not even close to feeling that way this year.

I have had every single EA NHL game ever made. Sadly, I may be skipping this year as well. The fighting looks awesome. But if that's their main feature this year, then I am very concerned. The only other things were they fine-tuned the hitting and the skating. Judging by their feature reveal earlier, it looks like Be A Pro got all the love this year and Be A GM is going basically untouched. I strictly play Be A GM, so this is not good for me.

Im depressed too knowing for the first time since NHL 92, im skipping an NHL game. BUT I WILL NOT BUY NHL 14 with all their "promo's" of their "new stuffs".

Me too. In fact, I'd say a lot of things have even gotten worse. It was nice when you could edit the lines of each team in the league. It was also nice when they properly implemented the 50-contract limit. Players playing in the CHL should NOT count towards this limit, but they do in NHL 13 for some reason...
