All my friends are also sticking with 14. Hopefully enough people do this and it is noticeable.

North American Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 sales have already been trending down since NHL 12:

NHL 08 -- 370,000
NHL 09 -- 740,000
NHL 10 -- 870,000
NHL 11 -- 980,000
NHL 12 -- 870,000
NHL 13 -- 770,000
NHL 14 -- 570,000

NHL 09 was the year with the largest growth, and that was the year the EASHL mode was first put in.

Wow, those numbers are kind of telling of where the series has gone since last gen debuted, if you'd ask me. I don't think it is much of a coincidence that it trends in the way that it does from those figures.

I still am wondering why EA decided to put Littman, a former goaltender, on a basketball game when he was really breathing new life into this series during his tenure in charge. Things have never really rebounded after that.

I will be speaking with my wallet. I am very disappointed. I do not understand how other games have managed to deliver complete versions on next gen but ea can not with the hockey franchise.

I didn't realize there was such a drastic change in sales with the game having EASHL vs when it didn't have it. That should really scare EA.

I will be totally surprise if after the release of this game, Ram is still with EA NHL game. To miss EASHL, GM connected, OTP or LTL (thats what you get in trying to copy NBA MyCareer)... is unforgivable. If NHL 15 will have a tremendous decrease in sales, I am hoping that EA will seriously take an effort to improve in 16.

For the record, the most successful year was when I attended the community event.

Coincidence? I think not.
