A cont. of the previous thread which has now been locked: https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion-News/presentation-doesn-t-Work-For-Nhl-23/m-p/12089563#M6443We have to keep this constructive or this one will be too.

Unbelievable that they locked that thread! I have never had a lower opinion of the game then I do now. I’d give some “constructive “ Criticism but there’s not much I can say that hasn’t already been said.However this issue definitely doesn’t deserve to be silenced and ride off into the Sunset just because EA decided now’s the time for the conversation to end. The game will not get better in the short term in 23 or the long term unless this conversation continues, for the sake of the series for offline players it must be continued

@Redw91 Yes we can’t let them sweep this under the rug but we will have to try to adhere to the rules so they don’t keep locking threadsThe removal of full presentation while marketing presentation as a core feature is disgustingly slimy and shady.We should be able to start up a game, and be able to see what goalie we’re facing that game, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg

It's hard to keep it "constructive" when we have already given them a ton of constructive feedback regarding this presentation issue and they don't provide any communication in return. How are we to know if what we're saying is going anywhere or if it's all a facade and ultimately they don't care? If they want us to keep it completely constructive then maybe they should actually TRY COMMUNICATING so we have at least an idea of what is going on or what is being worked on. When Aljo and others say "keep it constructive" but then we don't hear anything about what is being fixed and/or subsequent game releases have the same issues, then of course we are going to be more likely to start venting and being less "constructive". So come on EA, get it together, and start letting us know if you're at least trying to fix the presentation that you somehow broke.

@EA_Aljo I'm not sure if this has been mentioned by others but the removal of the presentation options have also interfered with my gameplay this year. There are multiple times in a game i can't get the line changes that i want because the game runs too fast for me. With the full presentation you could easily change your lines during a replay and now there are times where it only takes 2 seconds from the whistle to the faceoff.

@tunes29 Yes it was. They took it out in 23 so now it's always condensed which sucks for those of us who want to see replays and cutscenes.

Sorry for a potentially dumb question but would this be like those new animations from the arenas, fan glow sticks, pregame "warmups" skate, and goalie preview? Because that has been gone from my game for a while now.

Gone from your game? The glow sticks and ice projections were advertised features for NHL 23, and they sporadically appeared at launch. One of the first updates made them appear more frequently before game. Do you have any of the releases patches?
This is more regarding the presentation DOWNGRADES in NHL 23. You can no longer choose “Full” or “Condensed” - the game is stuck on condensed mode, which removes post goal replays, big hit replays, goalie highlights/stats pre-game, and other cut scenes/presentation immersion. It’s basically like playing a demo release where all the presentation is just cut out of the game, choppily at that.

@Sparky_NY1 Yeah they offered “new animations and celebrations.” And they pumped up “new game atmosphere” and then the took “full presentation” out of the game. Kinda like selling you that they’ve added the ECHL in game only to be able to use the ECHL in “play now” mode. No way to use ECHL players, teams or the league in franchise mode.

Or maybe another example, EA offers you a brand new car, only to find out, it’s the old car with a different paint job. Or they offer you a new car, but it’s at the bottom of a lake. They succeeded in sinking it. Kinda like they are trying to do subtly to this series.

Or selling a car with a back up camera many loved and wasn’t broken (True Broadcast camera) only to force a recall (forced patch) and modify the camera after purchase.
Really unfair, bizarre decision making.

Ha, well, at least we don't have to hear Doc Emrick's lackadaisical "oh, a save". 😄

Doc and Eddie along with the NBC broadcast were peak TV-style presentation in this series to me.

As you can see, interest is falling. It just has to be sat out long enough. Desperate and waiting for NHL 24

No loss of interest here. Just feel a bit hopeless - what else can be said or done?

That's exactly what they (EA) want to hear.

Im not waiting for NHL 24. There is no reason at all to remove full presentation and true broadcast camera even though I don’t use it, others do.
