The longer they wait, the less likely someone is going to buy further down the line. At that point, most will wait until NHL 16.

I'm so glad I've got GameFly

I think you guys are overestimating how many people play only EASHL and wont buy any version of this game. For those guys that do play only that I can see a good number of them (myself included) that purchase this game for last gen.

I can see sales being about the same as they have in the past, only problem is the community will be spread throughout four consoles so no matter what console you pick the online play will take a hit.

I know so many will hate me for saying this, but I'm happy these other modes aren't in the game.
For once, they worked primarily on gameplay and not a bunch of silly online modes.

This actually makes me want NHL15 more now.

What the **** is "silly" about an online league mode like GMC?

Actually it makes perfect sense if you did not play those missing modes. I will monitor everyone's gameplay thoughts and reviews to see if the teams finally play different from one another. NHL series suffers from the same problem that FIFA does and that is realism based the way their real life counterparts play. If they really worked on gameplay then you might see me getting in line. However, I am concerned about penalties again for the 3rd year in a row that seems to be lacking.

Is there still a playoff mode in the game because I like to create the real world playoffs and have at it.

Way to prove my point.
