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...

@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.
- @Jagavekov It's still a game at the end of the day though, so its supposed to toe the line of arcade and simulation, I don't have an issue with the celebration cutscene. I actually enjoy seeing the celebrations from people. I feel like there are some bigger issues with the game than celebration cutscenes.
I'm still not a fan of the hitting system which is why I abuse the heck out of the easy one button hip check,
I also don't think it should be a single button to be able to do the Michigan goal, I've seen more Michigan goal attempts in the first weekend release than ALL of last year.

Come on… This is not FORTNITE !
In the trial I was playing the Coyotes and we were leading 7-3 in the 3rd. Period, we scored the 8th and 9th goal late to make it 9-3. And every freakin time you see that cut scene and the player slides face first on the ice while it’s 9-3 ! So CRINGE worthy it’s unbelievable. There’s other reasons, but for this reason alone I’m not buying the game that I bought since 91…
When they are testing these new things, who are they showing this to ? The DEVS 7 year old's child ?
At the very least, make it OPTIONAL.
