NHL 15 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions (Xbox One, PS4)

[feedmeccc]

Well pro is too easy, first game I won 8-0, time to try all star. Menus are simpler, presentation looks sharp, but the game is 100% nhl 14, very disappointing. Canceling my pre order and will buy it for like $20 on amazon/ebay in the future.

Havent played it so can't judge but... interesting. Even though PSN is playing safely with the resolution due to Killzone. I found an interview with Rammer:

Quote:

What resolution and framerate will the game be on Xbox One? On PlayStation4? - Both consoles will run at 60 FPS.

So no word on the resolution but everything under 1080p would be embarassing.

edit: FIFA and BF4 both have these:

PAL HD 720p,1080i,1080p

And BF4 is running in 900p upscaled.

I will take a look at it later.

Yeah, I'm very curious to see & feel it for myself now. Last gen had far too much freedom with the puck, especially holding it far away from the body. While unresponsive isn't good, more restrictive isn't necessarily bad in my eyes. Well, yet at least.

And "stiffer" skating sounds good as well. To me, the skating has always been too loose. I thought it took a step back in 14 after the new skating mechanics were introduced in 13.

The CPU are taking the same shots again and again, trying to set up right in front of the net, tic, tac, toe passing for the shot. Not much variety at all. No one timers from the point, absolutely no cycling. The go hard for the same thing over and over, it is like playing online versus.

ON another note, about to try the demo on the PS4.

Based on the videos I've seen it surely gives an impression that CPU is dumb and useless as usual in front of the own net. This is one of the biggest problems with this series. Can anyone confirm this?

can you tell if create team is still in the game?
doesnt look like gameplay improved enough for me to buy it.

unless theyvadded a bunch of new stuff to gm mode. but from what we have read its the same.
