9.9.14. One of the most underrated multiplayer sports games due to clear server is EA Sports NHL.
With the NHL Stanley Cup Finals featuring the Los Angeles Kings and the New York Rangers set to begin this Wednesday on NBC, Electronic Arts Sports gave fans an appetizer for a long Monday night we’re currently enduring. The premiere image for the first entry to the next-generation of the EA Sports’ NHL series has been revealed, seen above. In the picture, center Joe Thornton of the San Jose Sharks is seen in a face-off spot against an unknown opponent; but fans finally get a taste of the graphical leap featuring the much anticipated 3-layer system, featuring body, jerseys and equipment all acting independently in motion.
The game was first announced early in May, but now has an official release date of September 9th on Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 3. Voting for the official cover closed yesterday, featuring the final two nominees in the likes of Montreal Canadiens defense man P.K. Subban and center Patrice Bergeron of the Boston Bruins.
Look for more details at next Monday’s e3 pressing from the people over at Electronic Arts.
