I am really torn on the 15 Edition. The first major issue is that I would have to buy a PS4 first, though i was planning that anyway sooner or later.

My major beef with the previous version was that after a while you got soaked into playing a certain way that was giving you success. There were certain plays that would give you a high chance of scoring and eventhough i tried to avoid them i would catch myself doing them just because i got used to it.

When NHL 14 came out i played Live the Life for the most part until i got fed up because you had to do it all yourself as there was basically no scoring when your guy wasnt on the ice. So i ended up with insane stats which took away any fun. Then the game got stuck in the shelf and i didnt play until recently.

I started a Season Mode only to end up with rediculous high scoring games. The first game back was still ok but already in the 2nd one i had a 10-8 and then over the next 5 games i managed to score 7+ goals per game. I had the goalie sliders way up but also "only" played on all-star i think but it was still stupid.

Now reading those first impressions, i am really concerned its a high scoring hell again where the human player dominates the CPU shot-wise but the CPU scores at 10-15% rate and you end up with 6-5 games or so.

If thats the case i think i am better of not buying it. So far i had the most fun with NHL 2k2 on the dreamcast and then 2k3 or 2k4 (cant really remember which one it was) on the PS2. They had realistic board play, high (realistic) save% goalies.

Anyway i just noticed that i am ranting more than i intended. So my actual question for the guys who played the demo is: For someone who only enjoyed the previous versions because it was NHL related and not because of the actual game...is it worth to give this another chance?

That's exactly what I had to do. In the just plain 'Demos' section, the game is only available for *pre-order*

Yes, I noticed this too. Game looks good, but doesn't look 1080p. The ice looks grainy, and not crisp. I'm on PS4.

I hope it's just the demo.

Just finished playing a game on xbox one.

The players and jerseys look very blurry, unless its a very zoomed in close up shot.

The arena atmosphere and fans looked pretty good though.

Anyone else noticing jerky frame rate on PS4?

I've tried both arenas and different cameras and the gameplay isn't smooth.

I hope it's just the demo.
