Re: The News of Missing Modes in NHL 15 (Roundtable)

I played EASHL 90% of the time, without club I have no reason to buy the game this year. I didn't drop a grand on a new PS4/XB1 so I could buy new games for 360/PS3 still. I don't care for OTP for the simple fact I only want my friends on my team. People play and act stupid in OTP.

On the bright side the NHL team saved me around 110 bucks this year on not buying the game including the 50 I would have spend on my pro.

EDIT: If I can get this game for 20 to 25 bucks on black friday I may get it, but no chance I pay full 60.

People complain all day about how gameplay needs to be first priority.

Then when NHL makes it number one, people complain about the game modes taken out in order to focus on gameplay.

Video games don;t just spring out of the ground, humans, who make mistakes, develop them. You really have to understand how the video game works on a whole, (marketing, time of development, etc.) to be able to appreciate the experience and work on a whole.

People tend to think that sine EA has "all that money" they should be able to do anything. It's not the cae, and as long as people live in this small bubble of what THEY think the game should be, andfully understand what is possible, they will never find happiness.

Re: The News of Missing Modes in NHL 15 (Roundtable)

I found the news troubling because consumers were told that a major benefit of not releasing on the new systems was an opportunity to learn from FIFA and Madden about certain challenges with the new console. So the FIFA team can manage to bring potentially 22 players into a game, but NHL doesn't have the ability to bring in 12? I don't know the first thing about game development, but that strikes me as really odd. I agree with the comment in the roundtable that perhaps a reason that the mode was held out was to figure out a way to monetize it more effectively. If in fact it was technology issues that caused this to happen...then whomever coordinates communication and resources between NHL and other EA Sports games should be updating their resume.

If there is no season mode, what is the point of having chl and all other leagues if no season mode, makes no sense to me.

I really thought that this game was going to blow away madden this year, but now with everything missing (modes) I don't know.

Imo Duke, i think you make some good points here. I´m sure hoping some truly nice strides have been made to at least help ease some of the disappointment of many.

EA sports is just a corporation. The devs did what they could but in the end the profit for corporation comes first. Developing a hockey game with full 11 player interaction wasn't first. HUT was first,it makes money. Which leads into earlier posts that EA is just trying to figure out a way to make more money, like a subscription for things like EASHL. It is becoming more and more apparent that the devs have little to no control over anything, other than coding. Some guy in a suit probably stands behind them tells themwhat he thinks is cool and makes them do it.
