    Hi everyone, 

    We appreciate you reaching out about this. 


    I wanted to jump in here and let everyone know that this is intentional. There is no option to change the presentation between Full and Condensed in NHL 23.

    I also wanted to say that we see your feedback on this. We will continue sharing your thoughts with the NHL team. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us here.

I have played and purchased nearly every EA NHL game since NHL 94 on the Genesis.

I run a (very small hobbiest) YouTube channel where I record my Franchise games and share them throughout the season. I've been doing that for 5-7 or so years now too. 

If presentations do not return I am simply not buying another EA NHL game until they return. Sure I'm not the micro transaction whale that the games are clearly focused on now, but I get my joy from playing the games and watching the presentations during the game intros and breaks. Seeing replays randomly, stats showing up, etc. All part of the game to me and IMPORTANT parts of the game for me.

It's why I love games like MLB The Show as well. Hell, Fifa and Madden do great jobs at presentations too. Why the heck is NHL given this back burner crap.

No matter how fun the game is to play it is meaningless to me if the experience doesn't feel good overall. 

This must change.

Also, sorry for the double-post, but after trying out the NHL 23 trial from EA Plus..., I have to say I am actually so disappointed with this game. From a gameplay standpoint it feels amazing. HOWEVER, there is no replay for someone scoring on me. There is just a reaction to the goal but no replay. Why would anyone on the dev team think people wanted this? It's just... empty. It feels like I am playing just an arcade game with zero actual connection to the NHL or NHL presentation.

I mean sure online people don't care about video replays or what-not, but as a life-long single player Franchise player, this is unacceptable to me. I want to see the replays of goals against. I want to see replays of penalties. I want the commentary discussion about the teams. I want all of that stuff.

If NHL 23 is really going to pretend this is not important to the sport, then I will just keep playing the older NHL games. I will 100% not buy another NHL game until the presentation is at LEAST where NHL 22 was at. I'm a 100% single player mode player, and I know EA doesn't give a crap about me since I am not paying that HUT micro-transaction stuff but I HOPE they don't view me as a second class citizen when I WANT to enjoy this game.

At the very least let us have the presentation from NHL 22, even if nothing is added. That is better than what we have now;

    @Error1355 Yup, this is the first year I'm skipping as well going back to like NHL 96 for me. The muppets at EA are absolutely clueless. It is beyond me how they decided to do what they've done this year and I sure as heck am not going to give them any money until things are fixed.
