Re: presentation doesn't Work For Nhl 23

I don't understand how this could be intentional. 

One of the new features for NHL 23 that I'll quote straight from the website:

"ON ICE PROJECTIONS

See all-new ice projections for game intros, authentic projections from NHL teams in offline mode, 11 customizable intros for EASHL and offline modes, and 11 new national anthem presentations in international modes."

How can we see this if the broadcast is condensed. 

Also, I play Be a Pro and I like to see who the starting goalies are. I also enjoy seeing replays of goals, penalties, hits, etc. that are shown after the whistles on full broadcast. 

I want to see my rookie doing the traditional solo skate in first game.

    This debacle really set me off into checking out past EA hockey titles and I really think NHL 15-19 had the best presentation EA has offered to date. The NBC overlays, the arena/city skyline at the beginning, the light show on the ice with the team entering, and a real analysis of the captains and goalies. Doc and Eddie even reference both face off centers for each team before puck drop.

    Goals were actually analyzed, and periods were reviewed after each frame. Plus the camera angles were realistic during replays. Behind the glass, as if you’re seeing a real broadcast. The cinematic slow motion 360 stuff is ridiculous in the new titles.

    Sadly the level of detail they put into presentation in 15-19 will never come close to being topped. I know this because it’s EA, for one. But also because those titles were pretty maligned and I think EA just collectively throws them in the “garbage bin” of ideas due to this, never to think of them again.

    I don’t know who the Presentation Producer is anymore - it was Ben Ross, but I believe he is now a Lead Designer… but I really wish they would get somebody in there who was meticulous with presentation detail. It can be done, and done very well, with voice stitching and situational dialogue. It’s frustrating that we haven’t gotten true next gen play-by-play or broadcast quality presentation.

    And now with NHL 23, in the year 2022, it’s literally worse than two decades ago. Imagine that. I mean really try to understand that.

    I made a notification of fraud to the Competition and Consumer Agency (https://asiointi.kkv.fi/fi) I recommend everyone do the same in their respective countries. More they got notices, more likely they are going to act, take down misleading ads, fine, etc.

    @Greyinsi Sad that it has come to this but it is what it is. If you're based in Washington State, perhaps you're a new Kraken fan, then you can file a complaint here:

    https://fortress.wa.gov/atg/formhandler/ago/ComplaintForm.aspx

    Provide links to the promotional material, the IGN review, this thread if you can. Might seem like too much hassle but stop and ask yourself if you feel ripped off or not. These kind of episodes can't continue.

    Lol NHL 23 launch has exceeded the news threshold of Finnish afternoon newspaper: https://www.is.fi/digitoday/esports/art-2000009156540.html They are commenting about the content that was taken out, the abundance of bugs and "zombie bug" that makes your players totally unresponsive for controls. Hey EA, don't think this wont go away by being quit, we need answers and actions.

    In your refund efforts guys, please make note that this highly misleading video is still active on EA's official YouTube Channel as of today. If it subsequently gets removed by EA, then that's confirmation by the company that the video does not accurately reflect what they shipped despite gathering pre-orders..

    Screen grabbing the comments sorted by newest would be wise too. The more evidence of a serious problem the better armed you are to get your money back without question.
