The only hint this was not NHL '24 or '23 was the score clock. I did see a few reaction animations and noticed the skill-based one-timer shadow appearing under players.... but presentation, lighting, textures.. everything looks identical.
So it wasn't just me.
That was really underwhelming and didn't really highlight any of the new features at all. And it looks like the goalies are still going to be giving up terrible squeakers if that NJ goal is anything to go by.
I get that it's a marketing stunt and not a proper gameplay demonstration, but I'm at a loss for how anyone could look at that and think it was something that would get people excited about the game.
