Exacty. Its all about context. Showing a close up of a puck on edge gives me, as a player, absolutely zero insight into how that affects the overall flow of the game or how it'll impact my passes or shots. Showing close ups of players celebrating shows me no overall indication of how the AI used positional intelligence to setup the powerplay and score. It's a very shallow look at any of the real gameplay that most of us care about.
There's nothing wrong with some cinematic trailers but there's very little there that matches the true player experience. Show off 30 seconds of sustained gameplay and lets see how these features all stack up together as a cohesive representation of hockey, where two teams are all interacting within the confines of the same game, going after the same puck, having to defend and attack.
