Would like to hear everyone's first impressions so far. I've only been on for like 5 minutes but have noticed some stuff worth mentioning. Main menu - It doesn't necessarily hurt the game but...

I only play offline and this is what I noticed:
- Menus are a bit slow like always but it looks nicer this year.
- Saturation in-game is way too high, some players have red faces. NHL 19's color scheme was excellent.
- Players lack highlights. The textures look very flat and not interesting.
- CPU is too easy. I win 5 out of 5 games on superstar with difficulty adjustment slider set to max value.
- New replays are very nice. Good job.
- Game intros are still worse than older NHL games. NHL 19's intros were excellent in my opinion.
- The player models skating animation looks very stiff and many players look like they have very long necks.
- Nice to have an option to turn off the pressure meter. Thank you for that.
- Skating sound fx sounds like duck quacks.
- Presentation features like intros, highlights of blocks, etc leave a lot to wish for. cough NHL 19 cough.
Lack of full presentation is a huge joke and shows they don't care about their customers.
Gameplay this year is appalling. Penalties are still all over the place. I just had a game with 10 penalties to 0 for CPU despite blatant miss calls on CPU. Goalies are an absolute joke, CPU making crazy saves and my goalie letting in ridiculously soft goals.
Another year of disappointment from EA. They just don't understand hockey. Never will.
