What Did You Think Of the First NHL 15 Gameplay Footage? (Roundtable)

[The Amaizen Blue]

I was expecting a lot more from the commentary during gameplay. Doc shows so much emotion during games, but the calls in this game are pretty bland. "Look at this... and score..." So much more potential, hopefully they build on it.

I like the commentary. It's different and it's hard for someone to fake enthusiasm, which is what you have to do in these situations. It's also something that separates George Clooney from Bob of the local theater (or theatre). I don't mind the dead air, it's easier for me to play with dead air then someone sabre rattling about things. One of the many reasons I hate Tim McCarver.

However, I will be very disappointed if there is no GM mode because that is primarily what I play.

Have you heard if there is a multi player OFFLINE GM mode?

Shinny graphics is good, but without EASHL, I'm not sure I can pull the trigger.

After watching the gameplay footage I am slightly concerned that us folk that almost exclusively play Goalie are getting boned again this year. From what I saw we can look forward to another year of cross-crease one-timers and cheese top-shelf goals from the slot after a behind-the-net pass

could not give a crap about the online stuff. Frankly I think that the game looks great....there is some cheese in there but it is a game. I can't wait to get it and be absorbed in my new Be a GM mode.

I'm not a big online league gamer. I'm a traditonal offline season/franchise mode type of player and from what I have seen with the graphics,physics and presentation I am really excited about this next gen version of NHL. Looks great so far. The year off paid big dividends in my opinion.
