Initial Trailer Impressions

Realizing will be playing nhl 25 agian all year..

The deep dives will be the true tale. Hoping that as they release more information, we will see some of the things that we have been asking for. If we only see minor tweaks, there may be a lot less sales this year. I am waiting until after its release, instead of pre-ordering. I want to know what people think of the changes before sinking money into the game. I also want to know just how much was done to improve the game. Too early to tell at this point. 

Not preordering NHL 26 or Battlefield 6. Learned that from EA

The fact that it's still Fortnite Chel, with all the microtransactions and X-factors, just ruins my day.

Yeah, I'm trying to be optimistic but that was a REALLY poor showing if that's the main features.

All 4 "features" are essentially nothing.

Ice-q 2.0.. a long winded way of saying they added some stats that not many will care a whole lot about.. a cool feature, but nothing that should be on the back of a cover.

X factors... were any added? That seems like exactly what we had before, no?

Be a pro "updates" I hope this means fully Revamped.. "rookie to superstar" before it was minors to superstar.. Hopefully this is more than minor upgrades.. I know College football allows you to look around the stadium, I'm assuming this is one thing being added to the mode.. Hopefully this isnt one of the updates they're talking about and its not just a couple small ports from CFL.

HUT seasons.. i dont play any HUT.. weren't there seasons before?

I can't wait to test the new revamped Be a Pro game mode. Game looks promising and exciting. 

just like last year the notable new features are very thin, and for me it's like a bad movie, the producers say that the interest is very thin but who wants to pay to go see a bad movie?? people therefore want to pay for a game without much new features?? people. So it's not because it's a niche game that sales are in free fall, it's because of the lack of real change. In the 2000s this game sold over 1 million copies

This is why I am not pre-ordering. Wait until I can see the changes and how they work for people.

xPetro-_- what about what they've shown looks promising? I'm not trying to downplay what you're saying. World juniors is cool, but it's one game. They're just gonna have to do a lot for me to be impressed. Of course I don't really do anything offline so maybe I'm not one to talk to about BaP or Franchise unless those modes become connected. I hope it's good enough that they don't have to update it again for 5-6 years because that will very likely be the turnaround on any updates again.  I hope it's good for everyone who likes that mode.

Can anyone confirm this?
