NHL 24 Tunnel of Doom Goal Celebration?
Quite intrigued by the full gameplay videos out there and sincere congrats to the audio team, sounds great and Cheryl works well... ...but the EA branded jump cut to the darkened, awkward, bizarre s...

@Rigu7 These replays, Carrlyn's X-factor lines, brand new x-factor menus that even tell you when x-factor players are on the ice, the pressure meter in the middle of the zone, the boards being programmed to stay in sync with said meter, turning bright red and reading FULL PRESSURE when the meter fills.
EA can keep on adding these immersion breaking presentation additions that no one asked for, and yet they can't even give offline players long overdue/ bare minimum changes. Love to hear how they don't have the resources to focus on the offline modes, they're basically spitting and laughing at us at this point.

Anyone else remember when EA was back to back winners of worst company in America award?
- @BellisJ01
Electronic Arts (EA) has been voted the worst company in America by Consumerist’s reader poll in both 2012 and 2013 1. However, it is important to note that this is a subjective opinion and not a fact. EA has been around for decades and has seen massive success 2. It has a market capitalization of nearly $40 billion 2. While the company has seen controversy over the years, it has also been praised for its contributions to the gaming industry. For instance, EA was named one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies by Ethisphere Institute in 2021
Thanks ChatGPT.

Thanks ChatGPT.Ethisphere allows companies to pay to be called ethical and relies on self reports of ethics. It is basically just a PR company handing out awards to the highest bidder.
Just limit how often it's used. Reserve it for milestones or big game situations (OT goals for example). Preferably not seen every game.
- @BellisJ01 Yeah, sadly I also remember when NHL won back 2 back Sports game of the year awards.
I just appreciate them trying something new - I like having a more 'spotlight' feel but can see how others don't like it. I do worry, like others have stated, that we'll get less replay context for every goal if these new scenes eat up all the time
I'm not one to care about presentation much, I've played these games so long that I tend to smash "x" to skip to the next faceoff, but these goal celebrations are brutal.
They are so inauthentic to the NHL experience, it is unfathomble how they thought this was a good idea.
The only time I could see this being appropriate is in EASHL type modes for big goals in the last minutes of the game or in overtime or something. But to have this big dramatic celebration for a rebound tap in to make it 3-1 in the 2nd period playing against the Coyotes in November is cringe worthy.

- @BellisJ01 No it was OVERALL sports game of the years back to back like NHL 14 and 15 I think
- @BellisJ01 It's ea Vancouver, and Vancouver isn't in the US , it is in America, more specifically north America, more specifically Canada.
No mention of making the Fortnite celebrations optional in the recent patch notes. I understand that it could not make it in the this patch but they wrote nothing about it being worked on for future patches either which is worrying.
Very worrying and I’m losing all hope that this will be implemented.
