Yes, that's very important to me. There are a few other things, like the outdated names of created players, or the fact that Buffalo's head logo isn't visible during the power play when they're wearing black jerseys. Or, when playing as a franchise, the HUD no longer says NHL, but EA. Why, I don't know.I can overlook all of that, but at some point, when so many things are missing or have been removed graphically, it's just too much. I'm not a hockey pro. I'm a complete novice.I can't say much about the gameplay; it feels like version 26.It's a shame, because I don't think the graphics and presentation are that bad. But for me, too many things have been removed.
