So when are we getting any trailers?

The hype and information available for NHL 25 is the worst I've seen in 5 years. No beta and no trailers except for 1. What we have been shown in these trailers is terrible, especially regarding the new graphics 'overhaul'. In the small clip they showed of the new players they couldn't even showcase it correctly, stamkos didn't even have half his visor rendered in! ( I'll attach a Screenshot) I don't even know why this is a marketing point anyway, the game is played at a overhead angle and we can't even see the players face. 

If presentation is going to be a big seeling point (for the 3rd time in 5 years mind you) you may as well show us something. EA_Aljo told us we were getting a trailer but it looks like we're just getting a blog. 

1 period of gameplay that's it. That's all I want to see. So far we are paying 70 dollars for a scoreboard and some new animations which could be an update by the way. This is genuinely a slap in the face to the NHL community from a billion dollar company. 

For the love of God please wait till this on sale for 20 bucks during the holiday. This is not a 70 dollar game.

    Mid September is the time frame. I don't have an exact date as well as any details on this being a video and/or blog. All we can do is wait for it to be posted.

    I understand that it’s a “timeframe”. There are 30 days in September. We are now on the 17th of the month. The month is more than “half” way over. “Mid” meaning middle. Middle of the month would be around the “half” way mark. So are we getting Franchise news this week?

    It is now the 19th. I'd say we're past "early-mid September." That time period would have implied 10th-15th, generally. 

    More disappointingly, we're not seeing ANY changes to the modes that aren't listed on that roadmap? That is disrespectful, honestly.

    You're not trying to but you ARE doing it. Not building hype and incorrectly marketing your game will result in less sales. 

    Putting microtransactions above innovation will result in fewer sales. Mark my words. We've seen it time and time again. Live service games DO die these days.
