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

[FanSinceWayBack]

How did you guys get EA NHL division to put team play back in the game? Im trying to do something similar with Madden, as they have taken team play out as well.

EA has a monopoly and it would be super cool if they didnt rub it in our faces. This is 2014 and a new era of consoles just came out. STOP TAKING MODES OUT OF THE GAMES!!!

Pretty much we've learned everyone plays different parts of the game, and that having as many options available as possible is the best solution to make everyone happy.

I for instance enjoy NHL Moments, but I wouldn't say I'm in the majority.

For me, it was how they implemented this game mode. It should have been made part of BeAGm, BeAPro, and Season modes, then as you play those modes the moments would activate if you were in a position to challenge that moment.

As it stood as a stand alone feature, it was just ok. IMO

NHL Moments is fun for what it is, a few minutes of play, but when it's one of like six game modes, it's kind of a problem.

And everybody has preferences on what mode they play. So to skip a year, (unlike Fifa, NBA etc) and still have features removed just tastes bad to us faithful fans/buyers of the game. Look if you can't get everything working properly fine, but don't admittedly remove features and charge full price. EA would never drop their price we know that. Again it's the PRINCIPLE. And for what its worth, anybody telling you what to do with your money or "how much of a hockey fan you are" you should just ignore, bc that's straight troll speak.

If they came out and said they were charging $40 for it or doing a bundle for $90 with both the current and next-gen games included, I'd buy it. But $60 for a stripped-down game just isn't right.

At the end of the day though, everyone's entitled to do what they want with their money.

Guess I'm glad I have Best Buy gamers club unlocked then. With that discount and some coupons it makes the feature stripped version feel a little less.
I get what you're saying guys. If I had been a huge eashl guy I'd be disappointed

I have it too and I still will wait for it to drop lower. Maybe $30.

And it's not just EASHL. Two of the three game modes I spent the most time playing the last two years (GM Connected being the other) have been axed. Tough to justify the money.

Yea well that deal is good regardless. In reality it's still too much because this game should not be $60, period.

It's not about whether you or I play the game modes that are in or out. It's that they've admittedly omitted game modes when they have had more time than anyone to develop on next gen and still charge full price that is the problem.
