We wanted to post this as a quick reference guide for those of you looking for specific NHL 15 game modes on each console.

If you are curious why certain modes didn't make the cut, make sure you read our interview with NHL 15 Producer Sean Ramjagsingh. He also contributed to the AMA hosted on our Forums.

Is it HUT really the most played mode in this series?

[EliJ27]

I just hope we can still create players and edit things to our liking, if EA takes that away from this game i'm done.

[EliJ27]

Since this is kind of a topic of game modes and modes in the game,I want to know some of your opinions on why or why not you think the NHL series could benefit if they added a TeamBuilder in future titles. I personally love the customization aspect of games, It makes me feel like I have more control of my game that I pay nearly $70 for. As we all know the create-a-team in the NHL series has grown quite stale.

Interesting, neither mentions the inclusion of things like Season, Playoff, Tournament, Shootout.

Maybe a good sign that these modes are next Gen?

[T5063]

So GM mode is exactly the same as NHL14?

Notice a difference? Uh-oh. Gotta be a typo or something, right?

[aparks87]

So you cant just play a season as your favorite on either next gen or current gen consoles? Or is that Be a GM ?
