Don't know if this means anything ,but I looked on nhl 15 ps3 version modes on ea sports forum, and season mode wasn't on there either. maybe it will be automaticly in,(wishful thinking). I hope so, all I play is season mode.

We won't be able to experience EASHL on PS4/XB1 until NHL 16. I think most people on here have processed that by now. We should consider ourselves lucky that EA is even planning to put out a patch for OTP. If you absolutely need to play EASHL this season, just play NHL 14

OTP to me means creating a player and meeting in a lobby with friends or randoms and playing a game with unique players. I'm not talking about club (EASHL).

Even now I can get on and track my weekly, monthly, and overall stats just from OTP.

I have very little interest in everyone racing to pick the Hawks, Pens, Bruins or Kings just so they can pick a player that is dominantly rated. If that is all they are ever patching in then I am probably out, especially for online play.

which is why I recommended you stick with NHL 14 until a proper OTP/EASHL is implemented into the Ps4/XB1 games

It's become clear to most that the upcoming release will for 1 v 1 and offline players, or players who are simply happy to experience hockey on new hardware

not for the beggars who are trying to be choosers.

I highly dislike 14 and most of my club sold their 360's to upgrade to xbone for this very game.

Is GM connected being scrapped for good? There was talk of bringing EASHL back, but GM connected was completely ignored on the statement released earlier this week.

Rammer said gmc was one of the least used modes and the the team was looking into making changes to bring in more players

One of my favorite modes. Finally a mode where my 4 old married with kids buddies and myself can sit on our respective couches since we can't sit on our parents a block away from each other anymore and play coop. Thought I'd love it...

I think it was one of the modes that was poorly implemented. We'd take our once a week trying to get online, play a 3 game block, then while the game simmed for 30 minutes to the next block of 4 games we'd sit............................................... ....and wait...............then it was time to go, kids, bed , work. Lets not even talk about the offseason. Just not feasible. Gross implementation

If implemented better, I think the mode would have been played more. If given season length options, the mode would have been played more. Just too many "ifs".

I blame EA for the poor play percentage of GM Connected. We tried in 13 and assumed the sim and whatnot was quicker in 14, wasn't.

I hate to see the mode go as I was assuming the sim engine would be hours quicker and this would be my vessel to get my boys into the next gen for some new hockey. It isn't, so we'll stay with Battlefield and talk about how we wish we were playing hockey.

Does anyone else have a feeling that fantasy draft likely won't be an option in Be a GM ...
