Day one review
Players silhouettes are soooo strange. I hate the look all players feel the same, no strides/skating style… small, big, tall players all look the same too. Like no shoulder pads, long necks, all that stuff. Looks very odd… stops me to really enjoy the game.
Some close up on players during the game looks the same as NHL22, bad lighting that makes players look cartoon.
No PWHL????
Also! The freaking settings/gameplay sliders still reset EVERYTIME you start a new game… I won’t survive another full year of having to go in options every game….
No Stanley Cup Playoffs/Final text on the ice during the playoffs…
In Playoffs mode, no possibility to edit lines, besides doing it everyyyyy game. Edit player is still missing after so many years.
Minor detail, but for a 10 year in a row, 2015-16 Penguins gloves are black and bright yellow when they were Black and Gold.
No more possible to rotate player in Edit Player. You can in the first screen but applying gear/celebration/skating style, etc. Your player is stuck in the same angle.
