Nope, not a basketball guy. But the faces are fairly comparable to FIFA so I'm happy with that.

That said, I might be one of those problem people you mentioned that doesn't expect enough. I just wanted a big improvement in that area, and I got it. It didn't need to compare to an NBA or FIFA game, just a big leap forward for the NHL series. As you said, will that be apparent on every roster? We'll see, but so far so good.

NHL 15 is not 1080p. Surprising to me they couldn't manage to do that.

*witty

And dino and I came to a bit of an understanding I think, I had simply missed understanding him originally, and he took it a way I hadn't intended.

Perhaps you'd be better off focussing on your own issues

EDIT: I thought the "his name chill, Y U NO CHILL?" was familiar...

Does this mean the quality for PS4 won't be significant over the PS3? I was planning on getting the PS4 mainly for NHL.

Unless you really care about EASHL, the PS4 version is the way to go. On PS3 it'll be NHL 14 with new announcers and a roster update. On PS4 you get the new physics (that actually do make a difference for once), presenation package, upgraded graphics, living crowds....

It has been a few years since I've purchased a new NHL but the new physics seems worth the upgrade alone (I assumed it'd be on PS3 as well).

So to mitigate that, they have chosen to release multiplayer in NHL 16 to give the customer something "new". Agree or disagree... its an opinion and a perspective. Have a better one? Please share. If not...

I just don't believe that it's a simple thing to implement. It sells copies of the game... to not add it just so NHL 16 would sell better is certifiably insane imo (no offence to your friend). This game feels great, but there are clearly some things stripped down. I'm going to say there is plenty of things to work on for 16, so I doubt they'll be clamouring for things to do.

It took a few years to implement in the last engine, so I don't see why this would be any different. Surely we've all been a part of a project either at work or at school where the results were met with dissatisfaction by people who just didn't understand the process or complexities?

I'm almost afraid to even ask this, but is anybody noticing the stuttering on PS4? Perhaps I just don't notice it.

Just on the intros. I imagine it will be fixed in the full version, and it's SLIGHT, but it's enough that would bug me after a while.

Joborule has been really quiet. Does OP have any insider information he can share?

Perhaps already have a copy in hand?

That's all!

If you meant you were hoping the faces would look even better (which I gather from this post) then that's cool, and a totally fair opinion. Maybe "generic" was just the wrong choice of words.

My opinion is definitely different. I thought the detail (down to getting some specific player expressions in) is pretty impressive.
To be fair, of what I've seen the faces looked generic as well. I'm sure there is some likeness, otherwise you wouldn't be making your point, but from the 10 minutes I watched I saw a few faces, recognized none of them, and I laughed out loud at one not knowing who the mongoloid looking guy was supposed to be.

Yeah I am not really a B-Ball guy either but NBA 2k shows what the hardware is capable of...Fifa plays great but doesn't look that great either, I think EA needs to step up their game in the graphics department


anyway its a demo, I am holding off any more until the game arrives in my mailbox
