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

Someone PLEASE tell me you can still create players in this game though, like single player, be a gm and so fourth. I like the customization aspect of games and really i feel like a lot of people should feel this way, it gives you a sense of control over your game that you pay $64.19 for.... I know a lot of people are fed up with EA and they know that too. So with that being said I can't imagine EA would want to open up that can of worms if they took that out.

Actually, I find it to be a fun way to kill a few minutes while I'm waiting for something/someone.

Also, one has nothing to do with the others. NHL Moments doesn't require anything special other than changing a few digits in the starting conditions and finding a good header image. It probably takes them a handful of weeks of dev time, tops. (This is especially evident based on the fact that they easily add more during the season.)

Wouldn't it be better to put out a beta of sorts and push back release (Hardline) than to push out a half finished product that will be a disappointment from the get go. Take a page from your own parent company EA, and push this thing back. I understand there is a season coming up. But you have a whole generation to build on. Not just one years worth of game.

I stand corrected with regard to EASHL and the micro transactions. It wasn't really the point I was trying to make, however. To your point, I would assume HUT would be far easier to program into the game than EASHL, meaning fewer resources/less expense for EA Sports. Combine that with HUT's potential revenue, the return on investment would make HUT the slam dunk choice for the company to include, if they had to choose. (Which they did.)

It all has to do with trying to get sales across the board. If people really want the modes missing from PS4/XboxOne then they'll have to get both versions. I just don't by into there limited time & resources lingo they throw out there. While they're cutting stuff why don't they cut the price of the PS4/XboxOne versions. I didn't think so.
