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

[jyoung]

Well, it only took me 5 minutes in the practice mode to find a deke that produces an always-goal:



This same forehand-backhand deke was incredibly overpowered in NHL 14.

The goalies still seem to fall for it every time in NHL 15. Keep in mind that this is the highest-rated goalie in this year's game getting beat with the same simple move over and over again.

Do you seriously think they are going to give you all the bells and whistles.. If you don't have something positive to say about this game then please don't post. WE die hard NHL gamers look past the little things you may point out. Be thankful you got the demo. The ps3 users didnt even get it.

You're new around here huh....

Come, let me show you around. Introduce you to some of the fellas..

Just more confirmation this is a port and wasn't "built from the ground up".

After playing a few games, I've come away very impressed with the demo. The graphics are crisp on my tv, player models and stadiums look great. Players feel like they are more weight to them, allowing for more realistic movements. Physics are great (both players and pucks). This has that sense of familiarity to it (probably because it's EA's NHL and the controls are the same) but is better in every way. This is definitely a next-gen game.

Because of how players move, it seems as though positioning is more important. Get impatient on D and the player will fly right by you. It takes a second or two for your guy to stop then start back skating, by then the damage has been done.

In the end, this is a much much better game. Like any game, the experience is how you choose to play it. If you want to find exploits (seem like some are found) and do them over and over, then this game will be unplayable. If you try to play it like its meant to be played (dumping every so often, not intentionally doing glitch goals, etc), then it should be as good as ever.

I've quickly fallen in love with this game (as if I wasn't already). At first, I hated the new skill stick. Now that I've gotten pretty good with it, I can realize that its a drastic improvement over 14.

I also really love the physics. The physics are the real deal in this game.

I need this game in my life.

Are post game replays available in the demo? I skipped 14 so forgive me if this was changed in that, but one of the issues I always had was that in the post game highlights, each clip was only like 5 seconds long, so you could never really get a good replay of a goal developing because the clips were too short. Are they longer now?

Day 1 for me. Cant wait

Playing on PS4....

The choppy play is terrible. I'm pushing through it because I really want to see the "new NHL experience" on next gen. But really, it is BAD.

720p? Really?

Aside from these negative's I feel good about how the game feels and plays.

Hopefully the choppiness and 720p are merely demo issues. I cannot see this game being released w/ this type of choppiness and under 1080p.

We will see.
