The biggest news from today appears to be no more PS4/XB1 game releases
- @EA_Aljo So it says new foundational AI. Can you clarify? Was the old AI tuned to be “better”, or was it scrapped and built from the ground up? That’s what new foundational AI would imply so a confirmation would be great
Next Gen vision control, it doesn’t really look any different than what we’ve seen the past 5+ years, so not sure what they mean by that.
Ice Q, true hockey intelligence. Does that not just work similar to the AI? Hockey IQ comes from the player themselves, you can’t make someone have better IQ so is it just marketing the same feature twice? Or is there new “features”
Do we have any dates for their “deep dive” videos?
The trailer didn’t show a whole lot besides behind the scenes mocap that we see every year - EA_Aljo

The new Vision Control is not the same as we've previously had. You're able to face the net and control lateral skating better. Unfortunately, you'll have to wait until you get to actually play it to feel the difference. However, there's a video from No Sleeves here that explains it more.
AI has received significant improvements. They're better at getting open as well as react with more urgency. AI behavior has been a very big issue from the community so hopefully, you all like the changes.
- @EA_Aljo Ok thanks for the bit of info.
So it isn’t really new foundational AI, it’s just tweaked AI. The wording they use is pretty misleading as new foundational AI is much more interesting than the old AI being tweaked like they say they do most years.
Improved AI is the proper term they should use but it’s not very flashy to put into a trailer to get people to want to buy it I guess.
I watched the video, says something about a Franchise remodel, but nothing else. That’s a bit concerning since he went into all the other modes that received attention, but nothing about FM.
Looks like Be a Pro was either ignored again since it’s downgrade in .. 21 I think, can’t remember. Or he forgot/left it out since he is an online player.
With the new modes for online players, and the battle pass/season system they are introducing, it doesn’t bode very well for the offline players.
I’m assuming the worst in the FM remodel, where it’s probably a stripped down, flashier but emptier version of its old self. Kinda like what they did with BAP.
I’d be surprised if they made any good changes and I’d definitely welcome them, but I’m not holding my breath. Hopefully those deep dive videos come out soon so offline players can see if it’s worth it or not.
I pray they don’t preorder lol but I think lots of people learned not to preorder after 24’s launch - EA_Aljo
The changes to AI are bigger than you're assuming. There will be more on this down the road.
Is the pressure system and total control in this game? @EA_Aljo

Sorry, but I can't answer that. I really don't have any other detail besides what's already been announced. If it wasn't discussed in the launch trailer or any of the videos put out by members of the Design Council, it'll have to wait for future reveals.

Any idea when the deep dives are coming?
