NHL 24 Presentation Deep Dive

For Full Presentation, as you have heard here, there was a Settings option to have condensed or full presentation which with condensed mean it went fast to the next face off, no replays, short opening intros. Then that wasnt there in NHL23 and so we lost the replays after goals, saves, hits, big plays and the longer intros..

Many offline users want that authentic experience of playing but feeling like you are watching it on TV and were use to for so many years. Based on the changes coming for NHL 24, it was not clear in the Presentation video if offline replays were returning for saves and big plays, as David Pritchett (Lead Presentation Producers) says replays for goals but doesnt specify other types. Will there be replays returning for other than goals?

With more replays added and if the opening intro of the arena and players skating was like 5-10 seconds longer even it would feel like we are getting a feel for the atmosphere at the game. It's over in less then 10 seconds and seems like all that great work the team put into the graphics and cinematics of the arena arent getting shown off long enough.

After goals we used to get shots of the crowd jumping up and cheering like if you were at a game. You barely see the crowd from a pulled back camera view anymore, except for that brief intro before faces offs or starts of period. The crowd looks great after goals are scored but it's not shown to the player like it was a few years back.

The Flex Moments after goals are cool but after every goal seems like a little much and it will get annoying. Would be nice if it was only after some big goals or big name player goals and the rest was the past view of the gameplay camera showing the celebration. Provides variety that way. A toggle to turn the Flex Moments down or off would be nice.
