Here it is, everyone! The NHL 24 Reveal Trailer

The "exhaust engine" is really bothering me.It is very arcadey. The "power meter" on the ice is very obnoxious and not the least bit authentic or realistic. I feel like this sort of mechanic belongs in Street Fighter, not NHL 24.More importantly, this "issue" could easily be addressed by just making fatigue more prominent. Your line is caught out there hemmed in your zone, the other team gets change and fresh players, and then you're in trouble because your line is tired and theirs isn't. Make the speed penalty for fatigue way higher - especially when it's in the "red", wherever that is determined to be - and maybe even add in some hunched over/barely moving skating animations. It will be hard to get the puck out of the zone, you will try to get a cover with your goalie or an off-the-glass and out. You arrive at the same outcome as the "exhaust" engine, without the gimmicky, arcadey stuff. And it requires the offensive team to get fresh legs, which the "exhaust engine" is completely missing.Likewise, goalies could have a fatigue bar too, that goes down with lots of shots/movement, goes up between faceoffs and between periods.Again, same outcome, done more authentically/realistically, no gimmicky/arcadey stuff. I guess "improved fatigue engine" isn't as marketable as "exhaust engine". Its kind of insulting that EA thinks hockey as a sport is so boring that we need "special move power bars" in the game.

@EA_Aljo wrote:@Beauts90 One-touch passes have been in the game, but they have been improved for 24 with the vision passing system. Glass breaking and hitting players in to the bench were in previous games as well, but we also aren't advertising them as brand new and never before in the game. I believe that was with the transition to Xbox One/PS4 so it's been quite a while since we saw them last. Not to split hairs too finely, but the VO did say, "you can NOW hit your opponent into..." rather than, "you can ONCE AGAIN hit your opponent into..." What was actually said does heavily imply that it's a new feature. That said, it's a welcome (return) addition either way.

@Beauts90 I am absolutely flabbergasted, that Clappy tweets this, and the Mike guy says what he did.At least it’s a quick decision for me.NOT BUYING NHL 24.

Everyone wins!I've certainly bought my fair share of games second hand over the years, but keep in mind, the more legit sales of the game there are, the bigger the budget for new additions and improvements. Buying the game second hand doesn't help in this case, but I understand not wanting to spend your money on a game that you feel isn't worth it.I promise I’ll buy the game brand new once any effort gets put in to offline player/team customization and franchise mode.

They have wasted their limited (according to you) resources on levitating player intros, trick shots, power up meters, etc., Instead of making the gameplay better for about a decade. They have actually made the skating far worse since NHL 14, doesn't take a large team to not make things worse.

@nhluser The NHL game is going every year more and more into arcade style and far away to come closer to a real NHL broadcast game.

Shot clock is actually pretty cool in basket, I dont think It's necessary IRL hockey, because its difficult to stall the game as it is, but something like that in our game would prevent people from rag.

Thats why I thought the pressure bar was a good idea, even though I think it should be based more on shots then just 'rag time'.

2k seem to have a lot of heart and soul when it comes to presentation, EA can definitely learn something there.

You are PK you can do what-ever you want, could still be that your reach would be shorter even though you carrying around a hockey stick, in compare to the NBA giants.

But the sight though, would be funny. You in your little Habs jersey running around and yelling french words...

Meanwhile the rest go...
Cant touch this... Na Na Na naa.
na na na na...

😇
Yeah, but a very well placed cross check on these giants might do the job 😉😆
