Listen, #######, we want to know actual things about the game, not your marketing crap.
What I actually got out of that:
1. They have changed the puck physics. How? No idea.
2. They focused heavily on crowd models. F*** off. This impacts the game not at all.
3. They've "improved the AI", a claim they make every year.
4. They have overhauled the menus. This is absolutely necessary so I hope they did a good job simplifying it.
5. New commentary team is a major selling point.
I'm happy they changed the commentators, it was time, but it appears their main "here's why you should upgrade this year" are that and the crowds - two changes that have zero impact on how the game plays. People saying "this is the same game" appear to be more or less correct. I will still play it but it's super frustrating how incompetent this development team is and how they manage to consistently underwhelm. I hope that the above doesn't represent the product on release but given past events I won't get my hopes up.
