The video doesn't do some of the changes some justice. For one seeing the Ice IQ isn't gonna show as well when you got 2 humans on each team moving around doing whatever. It's one of those things you will notice both offensively and defensively. There will always be bonehead plays by the AI regardless.
Imo the goaltending is greatly improved and yeah some of those goals were definitely weird, but it's hard to program a goalie to either stop everything or let everything in.
I agree using the NHL players doesn't showcase what can actually be done in the game, but it's meant to be more of a marketing tool using the cover athletes. Come Friday you can watch and hear from the better players how they feel about changes and such.
Could you give any specific examples of when ICE-Q was prominent in the gameplay? I have watched it a few times and did not see anything that made any of its features stand out. Plus, the goalies didn't look different at all from NHL 24 saves and movement, if there was, what part of the gameplay video portrayed it?
I'm generally curious about it as I held up the video of the gameplay (using a tablet) and had it beside NHL 24 gameplay (on my tv) and couldn't see a difference whatsoever.
As of right now I can't but soon I will delve into my experience. The good, the bad, the ugly.
I know you will and I'll take the time to read it.
I'll do the same with the 10 hour trial (can't warrant a pre order after this).
For me its how do we know if those changes (ICE-Q and that) are real or impactful if their own gameplay video displays none of them in a normal game environment.
