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.

They needed to fix online modes first. There’s sliders for offline

@KennyN1220 I find it funny all the other games have broadcasters from TNT/ ESPN/FOX/CBS while this one has the voice of an AHL team.

@kyl_35You think offline modes are ever getting focused on again??? Lol, we are in a different era from NHL 04. The fact two different creative directors have bluntly said they havent focused on offline in consecutive years is pretty telling to me.
Everything is geared towards online (microtransactions). Only way you'll see updates towards Franchise/BAP is if they find a way to integrate HUT into it.

It's almost comical at this point.
The NHL series in a nutshell.
"That's for changes. On the other hand, fans of the "Franchise" and "Be a pro" game modes will be disappointed since there is no modification in these modes.
