I have to add a comment to this thread. I just started playing this game, and I was absolutely shocked to find that the presentation I expect from EA NHL games is just not there. Just a few seconds of pre-game? A quick celebration and one replay after a goal and then immediately back to the faceoff? Where is the realistic TV presentation any decent modern sports game has? Half the fun of these games for me is seeing that realistic broadcast quality, seeing a decent celebration and several replays after a goal, seeing replays of good hits, having a little time between whistles. Removing these feels like stripping the game down to its bare bones. It doesn't feel worth the money I paid for it.
If this isn't fixed in a patch, this will be the last EA game I purchase.
It doesn't even seem like it would be a difficult fix either. All of the things I'm talking about are still technically in the game, they're just way, way too short. Why not just add the option of having them last a decent amount of time, like they used to? Like five or ten seconds of post-goal celebration instead of two or whatever it currently is? Three goal replays from different angles, like there used to be instead of just one? A few more seconds after the whistle? A bit more of the pre-game stuff that's already being shown? Is that really that difficult to do?
I'm just curious.
With games like the FIFA franchise, EA developed a progression plan that kept most of the new features they have been introducing at past games. A few changes and tweaks here and there but if you look at the presentation pack, it's undoubtedly one of the best sports game franchises out there.
Another example is NBA2K series. They keep the base solid and add new tweaks and features concisely, without breaking their game.
Now the question - why can't we have that for NHL? What's stopping EA and its developers from delivering a sports pack as good as we see with 2K and FIFA franchises?
Why remove cool features we had in past games?
Why change the True Broadcast camera AFTER people bought the game because of it?
Why market a full new presentation and make a lot of buzz around it only to deliver a much worse presentation package than the previous games? (to the point where there isn't presentation at all and it had to get fixed with patches)
So here's a constructive question to EA? What's happening? How can the community support you to deliver the best NHL experience for those who truly love hockey?
Please let us know how we can help.

I very much appreciate the constructive question, but I don't have those answers for you. When we have news on this, we'll post an update.
Thank you! Much appreciated!
Again, there were so many cool features in the past games that faded away. The package could be really robust by now. Hockey deserves an awesome game in all levels.
