However, this seems to be the direction EA is heading with all their games, so it is what it is.

That is what everyone was crying over the past few years. Oh, and game faces. HAVE to have those game faces in

At this point you really can't say EA isn't listening cause that is at least 70% of what the topics on the board are about after the yearly release comes out, until they announce the next year's game. It's whining about commentary (which everyone now say's sucks now that they heard it) and game faces. So, careful what you wish for.

15 bucks DLC for each mode

If the mode had a lot more options or fixes than last gen, I'd be all for it. For 15 bucks I'd want an AFK timer, vote to kick, more faces, more uniforms, different arenas, a better attribute system and AI that weren't braindead. AI shouldn't be there to bail you out of situations, but they should be smart enough to make a play.

Guys while I have never played the modes that seem to be missing, is there a feature list about the 360 version? Is the nbc package and doc and Eddie in the 360 version?

Yeah but no one said "Hey, fix your presentation and commentary but leave out popular game modes!" The commentary and presentation was a legit gripe, especially when both were relatively the same since 2010 or so. 4 years of the same lines, same openings, same cutscenes. Same everything.

We, as a gaming community, wanted something different. With games like the 2K basketball series spoiling us in terms of commentary and FIFA having both good commentary and good presentation - we expected something similar without the thought of game modes being sacrificed ever crossing our minds.

So for a community, both the NHL gamer and Operation Sports as a whole, that strives towards realism - yes, we wanted real game faces so the players we watch on TV looked something like the players we play with in our consoles and yes we wanted a fresh, new presentation and commentary team .

EA leaving out EASHL and GM Connected, if the rumors are true, isn't because they said "Hey, pick this fancy new NBC package or pick these game modes" and we all said "Hmmmmm, give us video Doc and Edzo and throw in some nice faces while you're at it." They were left out because EA is either

1. Scared that they won't have the server capacity to handle both last and current gen online needs
2. Truly don't believe that their revamped "physics engine" will play 'nice' with 10+ human players running into each other
3. Withheld the mode(s) so they can be back of the box material for NHL 16.

It is a shame because I've played EA hockey since NHLPA 93 on my sega, modded the hell out of NHL 00-04 and generally enjoyed every version up until 2012 when the same issues popped up every year (horrible AI, presentation, commentary, etc) yet still bought the game because my EASHL team played it so much.

So I am going to pass this year if EASHL is not included because while flash will work for awhile - I trust those at OS will give a real review of the game once the honeymoon period is over.
