The Show sells systems. You have tons of people on this site who bought PS4's just because The Show is only available on that console. You are the exact gamer that this game is developed for so obviously you will praise the game. There is no need to demean the people who don't like the game. From reading your posts you seem to play online a lot and obviously have different expectations for a hockey game, so honestly there's no reason to discredit people who don't enjoy the game. Online can be fun, but many people don't play online. The people who want a casual/co-op/online game (like yourself) of hockey are pretty much satisfied, but the people who want a realistic offline experience are not. That's great you enjoy the game but don't say that all people do is bash the game because that's not what it is. We are letting out our thoughts because we are sick and tired of having this game exactly the same every year, and mainly cater to the casual and online hockey experience. I've said it many times, EA has nailed down the casual to semi-realistic experience. In fact I enjoy this game playing with friends, but I get no joy out of this game through a solo offline experience. It's time for EA to reach every one of it's customers. FWIW I would love to be able to play a realistic 20 minute period game of hockey.

That is true I mean I love hockey I was being pretty bias haha you said everything right there I agree dude. Amen.

I would. I can't tell you the last time I touched NHL 14 but The Show hasn't left my PS4 since I've had it.

Also, I've played my 360 - Titanfall and Skyrim still get regular use, but NHL just sits in its case because I remember how dull and boring the game is. It's the same thing every time.

Although I did not buy 14 because I knew its still garbage...just like all the games that came out after 09....NHL should not be dull and boring. The ONLY reason why its DULL and BORING is because of EA developing team. All the teams play the same and likewise players.

If this game is just another upgrade...with a new presentation (NBC) but fails in gameplay...I REALLY HOPE EA FIRE THIS RAMJ...he's a disgrace.

Preaching to the choir man. I hope 15 doesn't need an NHL 15 revamped because as good as the Revamped project was it was like putting a band-aid on a mortar wound.

I don't get why they do that. Why not make it like FIFA where you can rename a place since most of the real life places aren't even in the game. For NHL games, if they can't have the arena name in the game ,just put the team name on the ice. I'd rather see "Chicago Blackhawks" around center ice than "Chicago Stadium" and "New York Rangers" instead of "New York Arena" and stuff like that.

TD Garden is in 14 if I'm not mistaken. I agree that the arenas without their real names should just have the team name on center ice, like they did for the Rangers in 14.
