EA Sports today released a new “Next-gen hockey player” video showcasing just how NHL 15‘s players have been recreated in-game.

As we reported at E3, character models have been completely rebuilt from the ground up, with three distinct layers to players.

The video also shows off some of the puck physics we spoke of.

I’m most excited about those user-controlled celebrations.

EA Sports has promised more dev diaries that will explain how the current-gen NHL 15 has been reconstructed.

NHL 15 will be available from 12 September on Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3 and PS4.
