No EASHL, GM Connected, OTP, or Live The Life in NHL 15 on XB1/PS4 (Interview)

Anyone buying this is a part of the problem, no way should it be 60 bucks, or it should have been delayed until 2016. EA has a monopoly on hockey and no competition, this is what you get......

EA were deleting comments and even relevant questions regarding GM connected yesterday on there own forum.....really dispicable practice imo.

HUH? One example does not the norm make..The show has ALWAYS had online uissues, Drive club, is a rgeat example od why delaying is a good thing when not ready, that game is amazing now.

Id rather have it not be included than have it included and only get to play 3 mins of the first period every game

Umm no we'd rather they get everything working before launching, put the proper resources into the game.

@SIp_!16, that is a strawman argument.....The end consumer should not care what politics, effort has to go in behind the scenes, the end product is all that they should or have to care about,. Other sports franchises have not came out a year later missing half the modes. Do you criticize the president? Hope not you have never been right? You dont need to have done something to be able to cricize, there are many other comparable products to compare it to.

Nailed it.

The shame of it is, hockey has such a passionate fan base, we need our fix. And we're force fed this BS on a yearly basis with no other alternatives. NHL happens to be the 1 game I not only play the most, but play the most socially; and with friends who are not as "into" gaming the way I am.

In reality if EA and/or Rammer were actually sincere and gave 2 craps about us, they'd have dropped the game to $49.99 at least. However we all know hell would freeze over, melt, then freeze again before EA did anything like that.

Until someone comes along to show EA competition this will continue (the word "this" is referring to more than the lack of game modes).

Okay I wasn't trying to say you have to be able to do what you are criticizing. I have a lot of criticisms regarding Be A GM and the AI and I can't create video games. I just saw on youtube that the EA NHL team apparently only took 12 months to make this game when they skipped 14 for next gen. If that is the case that deserves criticism because it lead to EASHL not being put in the game.

Wasn't trying to anger anybody, just was saying no matter what you believe or not believe, only EA seems to know why or why not it was kept out.
