Community ManagerAll of their sports titles pretty much don't start showcasing the upcoming game until a month or so before launch. It's not just an NHL thing it's an EA Sports thing. May 29th is when College Football 26 was shown. It launched officially on July 10th.
Fun fact is that NHL used to promote the upcoming game almost 2 months ahead of the release and then guess what happened? People got bored they had to wait after having the information. So there really is no point in announcing it more than a month early with some deep dives to keep things going. Anyone who has followed their sports games knows the routine by now.
Honestly people just want a video telling them that full presentation is coming back, GMC is coming back, authentic hockey is going to become more of a thing, and that PC is getting a launch. But they don't appear to be getting those things so they aren't going to be happy this year. You pretty much know when you see the reveal trailer what all is gonna be different. The deep dives just further go into detail about the changes that are made. Some people will be happy with what is given and others not so much. I've passed on many of your concerns you have had for the future of the series, but it's not up to me if things get added/changed/or whatever.
Me personally from the news today I'm super happy that hipchecks and LT-ing has been addressed.

That's the best news of the day for me too. Strange that it wasn't part of the video though. I didn't even find out about it until just now.
I told them those are the types of things that need to be said in these types of videos instead of just on their website or having NoSleeves talk about it.
