To me that doesn't change the review scores, but it does shed some light.

Yeah, I have a friend who until just recently worked at EA as a rigger and would keep me up to date on any modeling positions and he told me around summer last year that the NHL team was just starting to put a next gen modeling team together.
I don't think EA was lazy like many want to think. Their planning was just piss poor and they didn't prioritize properly.
