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

[max452]

More I play more I think this game is not 1080p.

Look at the text in overlay menu' during game and the text under the player on the ice, same for the jersey, I use ice cam and the numbers or names of the players are not crisp.
Overall look is not crisp like other 1080p games!!

I'm on a Panasonic Plasma and others games looks perfect, Fifa 14, Bf4 and Last Of Us.

Very strange...

Maybe to much AA ?


Comments ?

Keep your pants on. The store usually doesn't update until 5PM EST or later.

First, thanks for re-posting in here. A few others have mentioned this, so you might get more replies anyway.

I haven't played it yet, so I can't comment on how it looks. My first thought is a drop in quality might be due to demo limitations. Not sure if that theory holds water or not, but they always include that "not representative of the final product" disclaimer, so who knows.

I also can't wait to use some of these sliders. Passing is a bit off. Deke animations don't look like they're in there.

Pucks don't go out of play

I turned off auto back skate, cause that seems to be glitched, esp when the CPU can just blow right past the defense and score.

Some of these might be a demo issue

Just posting what I'm noticing

Ok so I have posted on here before and I have mentioned I am from the UK.


I downloaded the demo for the game today and have only played one game so far but felt compelled to come and voice my early opinion. Before I do though I'll give you a little back story that I may or may not have mentioned before.


I initially got into hockey with the release of NHL 10 as I was tired of my usual games and was looking for something new, I picked it up and was instantly hooked on the sport. I have been to a couple of games when I have been in the states. Both times being Devils games as I was in New York (although my team is actually Pittsburgh). Whilst on my first visit to New York I made sure to purchase an authentic Penguins jersey from the NHL store (after a mix up and some good fortune I only paid for a replica one, saving some considerable money!)


Any way I have digressed away from the impressions, this demo has made me fall in love with the sport all over again. I played as the Kings and I was 2 down very quickly, pulled one back in the second and equalised in the third, but 20sec later I conceded the winner.


I have not had such a blast with a game/demo in a long time. Graphically it is awesome and after some early promise from what they had shown us I had begun to be a little more worried that it wasn't going to be as amazing as I had hoped. Well let me tell you it is all I had hoped for and more.


There is some lovely moments where the puck really feels alive and like it's own entity. There were moments of great saves by Lunqvist and I felt the poke check was more relevant and effective again compared to last year.


The most pleasing aspect of this and indeed throughout the NHL series in recent years though is that in a world where sports games get more and more intricate and complicated it is brilliant that this game remains simple and accessible for the masses whilst retaining an element of depth for the more hardened fan.

Man this is disappointing. The demo is so blurry. I don't know what resolution they're running at but it has killed my anticipation for this game

I know this thread name is xbox, but seeing theres quite a few PS4 replies here, including mine. Is the blurry/720 thingy an xbox issue only? I dont have that problem on PS4.
Im using the default camera abd it seems crisp enough.
Can see some ads on the boards are not high rez in the close ups, but thats nothing new.

Where is the demo? I have Xbox 360 and a Ps4. It is to come out today right?
