Re: NHL 24 Presentation discussion

I'll send you my Twitter tweet about what I would suggest for the pre-game intro presentation https://twitter.com/ch4655/status/1719399257923342466?t=EES-xxOj6hhYa-B21HsYDA&s=19

I can’t believe this is almost 10 years ago. The presentation was much better.

@chris9562And bring back the intro POV as a player when we play Be a pro.

I remember when they added props in NHL 15 with the promise of getting back to NHL 14 levels. I believe this should've been prioritized over adding essentially loot box cosmetics and outdoor ice rinks to EASHL, as well as "celly tunnels'" over the last 9 releases, but that's just me. I know we all have our own preferences and EASHL is certainly a big game mode...but that being said, there's unused props in EASHL so you again would think that would be a priority from a presentation standpoint rather than having avatars fly in like superman in a pregame screen.

I don't when exactly we took the wrong turn, but I know that we indeed took a wrong turn somewhere.

Definitely agree, if they brought back the pre-game intro presentation from NHL14 and added Goalie intros, I can't even describe how happy this would make the majority of off-line franchise players....

2k10's light shows, broadcast package, announcers, goal horns, ice and puck sound effects, and lighting played MUCH bigger parts in my enjoyment of that game than they should've. The ability to go to NHL.com to see screenshots from CPU games, daily scoreboards, box scores, then also the ability to play any game within my franchise mode no matter which team was mine made the league feel alive! It was so cool! Nothing has come remotely close presentation wise to me, not even 14.

Yes, I recall a time when each year I would buy both 2K and EA NHL,

2K just for the presentation and EA NHL for the gameplay. Now, unfortunately we only have the one option.

My dream as well would be for EA to take even SOME of the presentation that was in the 2K series and add it in. Not sure if any of the EA devs have actually ever even played any of the 2K games. 

Really hope we see a big change in presentation for NHL25. Need goalie introductions back and spotlight players shown on ice during warmups with their season stat line. More stories through the season making franchise feel alive, highlighting rivalries trades players returning to face old team etc....Show us box scores from around the league, have a ticker on the franchise main screen showing standings and stat leaders. NBA2K does this nicely.
