EA Sports has released a teaser trailer for NHL ’15 today, and it sounds like they have a new play-by-play guy.
The voice of Michigan resident Doc Emrick, NBC’s lead announcer for their NHL broadcasts, can be heard talking about the game in the background of a video that shows off EA’s latest recreations of rinks across the league.
From EA Sports’ official site:
New voices for a new generation. NHL 15 welcomes the NBC Sports commentary team of Mike ‘Doc’ Emrick and Eddie Olczyk to the broadcast booth. TSN analyst Ray Ferraro will provide game insights at ice level. Combined with Real Life Broadcast Integration that will feature real-world pre-game video commentary with Doc and Eddie set against in-game visuals, NHL 15 takes a revolutionary step forward in sports videogames; where the lines between the real world of sport broadcast and the game are blurred.
ESPN’s Gary Thorne had been the primary voice of the EA NHL franchise since 2008.
There are also plenty of Red Wings’ related shots in the teaser trailer.
