Animation, especially transitions between movements could look a bit smoother, those still look quite stiff and now with better graphics it stands out more imo.
The animations haven' t changed as much as I'd like, but it's a very small team that makes the game. DOesn't sell a lot.
Yeah it's a pity and a bit surreal to me as NHL games have always done great in Finland. NHL 14 was the second best selling game in 2013 over here, lost only to GTA 5. PS3 and 360 versions did about 65k in total. Not bad considering the small size of our market, and I'm sure they have sold quite a few copies during 2014 also. It would be nice to get accurate WW sales numbers for the NHL games, but yeah hockey is a sport enjoyed only in few places.

Interview that explains the development cycle and why those online modes are missing. I do not envy Sean Ramjagsing (Rammer) for having to stand and face the brunt of the angry mob today, but kudos to him for doing it.
