Rammer said in the 2nd vid that they are making it easier to turn at top speed. Errrrrrr. Doesn't that just negate the whole point of true performance skating and we are back to NHL 12 where everyone turned on a dime?

Was just about to post that! So awesome.

Another dumb gimmick used to sell their game. Prob only an offline mode again like the winter classic and battle for the cup.

Yup it's offline mode. Another EA failure. EA is nothing but fails. Trying to cater to the casual players as usual.

I was at EA in Jan. I gave them a list of things wrong with NHL 13. They need to fix the stuff below before putting stupid gimmicks in.

The way the goalie reacts to weak shots and lets off huge rebounds but grabs hard shots no problem
Face off spamming
Being able to pick your position right when you enter the otp/drop in rooms
Idle kicks for trolls in the match up screen and once the game starts
Human goalies quitting on purpose
Suction effect of the AI d men that's blatant holding/interference
Puck reception along the boards and behind the net
Stricter position grades
Maintaining your card/Losing your card

Seems pretty fucking fun, hahaha.

Part 2 and you get to see the gameplay

yeah... so nhl 94 is basically nhl 14 with classic controls and the old school colored ice?

No the gameplay is tweaked to work similar to NHL 94

Nicest goal my eashl team has ever scored

The NHL 14 demo is out on Xbox. I heard it'll be on PS3 around 3pm-6pm.

I downloaded it for Xbox. The gameplay is the almost the EXACT same thing as '13. Every glitch goal that worked in '13 works in '14. Even the leg kick wrap isn't patched, scored it 5 times in that single period they let you play.. Now they opened up short-side even more too. People that knew how to snipe it in '13 are gonna score like no tomorrow in '14.

It's essentially $59.99 for a patch of '13 with 2 new hitting animations. Oh well.. there's always hope for '15 lol

Typical EA. I'll download the demo when I get off work. People are saying that it's auto accept fighting if you hit someone. It better not be like that EASHL. Auto fighting is stupid. I want to play not sit in the box for the majority of the game.

I didn't test out the fighting too much. But I think if you hit someone after the whistle it's an automatic fight. Or if you shoot the puck at a player or net after the whistler it's an automatic fight too.

Yeah I don't like the idea of automatic fighting either

I wish they would come out with a new NHL game every two years. Which gives the developers time make an actual GOOD GAME

That would make too much sense. Sense and EA don't go together

Instead of EA Sports, it's in the game.

It should be.. EA Sports, we're going to release a mediocre product of the previous version and know that all you hockey fans will buy it since we are the only company that releases hockey games

They could make a good game every year if they'd just spend a year fixing their fucking engine instead of introducing worthless shit like NHL 94 mode, glass breaking, goalie fights, etc. etc. etc.

EA's approach is akin to building a house on sand. They should concentrate on creating a solid foundation before making additions to it.

NHL 14 = NHL 11 with TPS and 1 touch dekes. Shortside goals are back and forehand backhand is the go to move now. Typical EA, just rehash the same crap every few years and call it NEW AND EXCITING FEATURES!

4 weak backhand goals allowed from the blueline in less than 3 hours ...

:rukidding:

judging by the reactions on here, nhl 14 is no good?

I have it preordered at futureshop back when they had the e3 promo so will probably just keep it.

I'll be testing out the demo this weekend.
