Unless that real pic is older, I see a glaring uniform omission: the black strip across the shoulders.

dude cmon thats an old picture. I think im being too critical with the way thornton looks without seeing him head on, also he is my absolute favorite player so of course im gonna be more critical. It looks nice but the crowd is a little ridiculous, like everyone else has mentioned. Really there are probably about 10 teams with fans that "travel" well and the coyotes are not one of them.

I did catch playoff hockey but didn't study the uniforms.

I'm really hoping this is a very early screen shot. The lack of nameplate on Thornton's jersey is almost inexcusable unless this is an early picture. I'm assuming it is because if you look at the other next gen sports games, their first versions had many glaring issues that just showed it was an early build. That is just something so glaring that you'd think it will make it's way into the game.

To me the screen does look like Thornton. I think if he had a bigger beard that would represent him better, but he did go beardless/stubble for a good amount of this year. I agree with people though, what is EA doing with those Yotes fans? First of all the Yotes hardly get fans at their home games, so I don't know why on earth they'd put that many in the stands for a road game.

Honestly I'm more concerned about the Preorder bonuses. It just shows once again that EA is pushing online play. I don't think the tables have turned to offline at all. That's what has me scared. The NHL series has been so bad for however many straight years, that as long as this game finally represents the game of hockey in the light it should be in, no nameplates or really small details will turn me away. Plus I honestly can't imagine nameplates not being put in. That'd just be inexcusable, even for an EA game.

The Sharks got new home J's this year. That real life pic of Thornton was prior to this season.

It's the same preorder bonus as last year pretty much. Would people rather no preorder bonus at all? I swear some of the things people chose to complain about really blows my mind. And I've no doubt if there was a different letter/number combination of the front of the box under publisher, those same total nitpicks wouldn't be made at all.
