They need 5-man hug celebrations back in the game. That St. Louis Blues screenshot looks awkward. They just scored, 2 of their players are ecstatic, and 3 of their other players do not seem to give a crap.

Arenas look great I just hope we are able to zoom to all areas to be able to see everything !

Looks awesome.

Love how the Blues arena looks, but like someone said before me, why no group celebrations?

It looks..odd.

Does look odd and would have really sealed up the overall look/feel of the game for 16. Maybe they can patch it in?

The celebration system that they're using right now is limited to 2-person animations.

Occasionally, though, a 3rd person can sneak into the celebration:

I would hope so.

Though last year they never did..

I've said this repeatedly, all the graphical improvements they made take a major hit because of this. It's so simple too...When a goal is scored the whole team celebrates, mainly all the guys on the ice. When you score in this game usually the guy closest to you skates away, another guy jumps in your back, and then the camera pans out showing three guys skating away like nothing happened. Ruins everything they did visually

Exactly you nailed it!!this is so frustrating,the feeling when you score should be much much better!!

Staples Center is still wrong....oh well

# 11 onlybygrace @ 08/30/15 05:49 PM

It's sheer laziness...that's all there is to it. Why it's not worth their time is beyond me. But hey, we got mascots!!!

Will the Blackhawks get any special treatment with their arena atmosphere? Or will it be a generic place with a generic horn?

Supposedly the Hawks goal horn is in, but a video dropped today via the Rangers twitter account that displayed their horn and goal song. Rangers goal horn is not correct....yet again.

The horns, which we were told are 100% authentic to each team, look to not be accurate whatsoever and are simply the horns from last year, lengthened by a couple of seconds. The songs however are accurate.

Here is to hoping the teams who did not have their correct horns in period(ex. Hawks, Dallas Stars, Phx Coyotes) have them as not the Devils horn used instead.
