TV style presentation is non existent in 22

The TV style presentation in NHL 22 is just awful. It doesn't even come close to any tv broadcast. The NHL team needs to do some serious work in this area, games like NHL 14, 15 had way better tv style presentation. This game doesn't even have the basics.

Re: TV style presentation is non existent in 22

EA Sports wants to keep reinventing the wheel instead of relying on the tried and true. For many decades, the TV presentations have proven themselves, but EA Sport always wants to go a different way at any cost and is screwing it up more and more.

Recently, EA Sports fades in statistics in the bully circle that hardly anyone can read so quickly, and in addition, the statistics are also often wrong / mixed up.

And who thought the scoreboard would be nice to look at has not the slightest idea of his job. Nothing about the scoreboard is correct at all. It's ugly, misplaced, and way too big.

Re: TV style presentation is non existent in 22

I have to be honest, playing NHL22 is, for me, an enjoyable experience. I think it's a good all around game and among the better years of this franchise. But, I don't play it looking for a full television experience. Unfortunately when games did focus on TV presentation, the sales spoke for themselves. The 2K series almost entirely offered TV style gameplay. But the sales just weren't there. But in the EA world, even when NHL leaned a bit more towards TV presentation, it was never great. The video intros with Emrick and Olczyk were awfully acted, repetitive, and so generic that they never had any relevance to the game you were actually playing.
2K5 has the best TV presentation of any hockey game and even the PC version of NHL09 is better. They promote the on-ice game now instead of TV because television sports ratings are at their lowest in decades and younger people (the bulk of gamers) simply don't watch sports as much anymore. So it's not going to be what developers try to offer.
Just play 22 and enjoy it for what it is. If nothing else, the commentary is more alive now than it's ever been.

Re: TV style presentation is non existent in 22

I agree with the poster they do have some work to do. NHL 22 is plainly and simply a beautiful game these new game graphics where they are on the ice are terrific and a great idea. As a stat hound I wish when they showed the graphics of who scored the goal at the bottom it would be nice to include who assisted on the goal it does show it just before the face-off but putting it on the goal graphics would be a better option I think.

As with the NHL series I think like we all have said they are the smaller group of the teams that do sport video games. So I think we get what we get but I was super impressed with this version and I think this is certainly a good base and they are not done yet more I think is on the way we will just have to wait and see what they deliver.
Doc just could not devote enough time the guy was super old and was facing retirement it was a surprise the direction they went but I do hope they change the play by play lead guy. This guy that does it for me is not bad but I think there are better options out there but again in closing the team is right where they need to be and when they can focus on strictly Next-Gen only they will have more time for the bells and whistles.

Sheesh, this is really impressive. Pre-game, starting lineups, key player breakdowns and an anthem?

Presentation needs to get back to this.

Holy **** that was amazing. How hard can it be to mimic something like this? Madden has intros and that's with tons more players and all the extra sideline stuff in a football game.

Another plus is the authentic goalie helmet on Theodore and Belfour.
