I have to disagree with you there.

after the season there is no regular draft in Be A GM either.

Can you create a tournament and play with the national teams?

So the AHL teams are in the game, but not worked into BaGM then? This seems odd. Hopefully this is both something that can be patched in, as well as something that wouldn't require a BaGM restart. Not real optimistic about either at the moment.

Who seriously would have thought that with all of their marketing for PS4/XBONE and lack of talking about PS3/360, that last gen is the route to go. The only way this game has ever been remotely playable is with edited rosters, and that is no longer possible. I wouldn't even be able to attempt going back to online modes because those aren't even there. I truly don't want to demean anyone who says this is a good effort, but I'm beyond baffled how anybody can think that. This game lacks the most basic features that have been included in basically every sports game the past however many years. I'm jealous that people can expect such a small effort from a development team. The good thing is we get to chose if we buy it. There's no other options except for past NHL 2k games and last gen EA games, but that's life I guess. People may find the game good now, but I think the majority of people won't be saying that in 2 months. The NHL season won't have even been a month in at that point.

Honestly if the sales are at an all time low I think EA will make major changes. Either the dev team gets replaced, or there is no hockey game next year at all. I know this is massively jumping the gun but I think we may be without a new hockey game next year. The only thing standing in the way that I could see is the NBC contract. I have no idea about the details of that though.

The only reason I am still on the fence is because I don't know if I'll be able to stand an Atlantic Canadian winter without some form of videogame hockey to play. I got rid of my 360 over the summer and bought a PS4 - with hopes that I would be playing NHL 15 for the winter. If I still had it, I would just play 14 for another year. I have had every version of NHL since 1993, so to not buy a version will be a big deal for me - but you are right...it may be time to send the message. Unfortunately I get the feeling that EA will still make their money on this game, due to the casual, HUT fans, who will be content to pay EXTRA to pick up some special card pack and glitch the **** out of the competition.

Don't hold your breath.
