Five titles. It debuted in NHL 09.

Thanks. I wasn't sure enough to say when I made the post, so I just went with what I remembered playing lol

I have no idea how the sales will be though. I think a lot of people will be picking it up just because it is the new hockey game. A lot will buy it because they saw the new graphics and fast gameplay and don't realize the flaws because they are not diehard hockey fans or simulation players. Some will buy it because the library for sports games are limited and they like sports games. Some will even buy it not realizing it is not fully featured. And a good bit will buy it and love it, just as a good bit will buy it and hate it and perhaps trade it in relatively soon. But all of the aforementioned scenarios are purchases and help the bottom line. So for those reasons you likely won't see a price reduction anytime soon. The only way a company knows they have not reached their intended goals is by the bottom line. If people try this game with early access or the demo and it is a flop and is not fully featured, and then the word gets out about it... well that is about the only chance the game will "flop". Just the same, word of mouth has helped to sale games before, too. That could easily be the case if the game is great. Time will tell. EA isn't doing much to spread that word of mouth themselves this time around, which is frightening though.

Will you be buying it? I'm curious because you seem to have sorted out what is wrong with the game...so if even you are buying it, there is no chance it flops.

I'm pretty sure the servers for NHL 12 are still active.

Some of us traded in our last gen consoles

Even the people who did hold onto to their Xbox 360s may have switched over to PS4 and might no longer have an Xbox Live Gold subscription, which is required to play EASHL and GM Connected.

For me, buying NHL 15 on the 360 as opposed to the X1 is, to me, giving EA money, which is something I don't want to do, considering my displeasure in (theoretically) removing EASHL and GM connected. I'm sure my money means nothing to them, but it means something to me.

You just have to hope the majority is like us. I'm not giving them 60 bucks for NHL 14 2.0 because they made a mistake developing on next gen.


If there is no eashl, which I'm sure there is not at this point I'll pick up NHL 15 on amazon for half price in 4 months.
