No, we haven't see that yet, but we've seen a lot we can compare to NHL 14 and comparatively it looks GREAT and is a huge step up.
I'm more baffled how someone could see that and not be impressed, what were you wanting?
We've seen the crowd (huge improvement), the ice (looks great), the player models (all really well done, including the faces), and the way the jerseys interact separately from the players. Overall, they've shown a lot, and it's been impressive. And absolutely everything has looked improved over the very same types of angles and shots in NHL 14.
Can't be sure what more people wanted, unless their ideas of seeing all the improvements was seeing them from 30 feet away.

Graphics don't do much for many players of this game. The gameplay has been brutal over the past few years with the year to year changes leaving folks disappointed. Seeing more crowd models is useless if the ai is still useless, the puck bounces like a football, goalies have force fields, picks/sticks/legs skates can pass thru one another with no consequence. I don't need to see more slow mo dekes, or ai players having no idea what to on the ice (forward facing Subban on the point shot).
First trailer, audio and graphics look good, but those are minor details all things considered. Hope to see game play improvements showcased in upcoming vids before considering this revolutionary (ie. how the skills tick revolutionized nhl games in the current gen).
