NHL 15 Available Now For EA Access Subscribers, Post Your Impressions

[thbends]

I need a Hockey game though. Guess I'll get it for XBOX 360 or PS3.

Wow. Reading this thread has changed my mind a TON about this game, and I'm usually an optimist...not to mention a person who loves presentational features. Even I can't see enough I like about this game to spend full price.

Almost inexcusable to me when most of the PS4/XB1 EA Sports titles (Live and UFC excluded) contain nearly every feature that was there last gen. If FIFA or Madden were to get this treatment, the uproar would be deafening.

Now with a tremendously nerfed Be a GM and player editing features seemingly gone, I seriously hope EA Canada takes the same approach they did with UFC and add free features/content updates throughout the year. That's an example of a game that's doing it right, and that will be the one of the only things that could potentially save the damage that's already been done to NHL's reputation.

I only care for created players and it seems you can make players. If that is in the game then patching edit players shouldn't be so hard. Let's really hope they do some UFC enhancing here.

Man what a disappointment this has turned out to be. I wasn't crazy about the demo and it sounds like things haven't really changed at all. I'm really glad I picked up Madden this year, it's actually quite good and will save me the $60 I would've spent on this.

I understand the negativity of the board, as nhl 15 is missing A LOT traditional features and the dev team should get flak for it. But me....I don't care of being a GM, drafting, trading, editing goalies. I just want a solid authentic game experience ON ICE.

So can we get more gameplay impressions? If the gameplay is solid without any player edits:

1) good scoring feel
2) no cpu robo-passing
3) cpu defenders are pretty aggressive on the blue line..
4) no comeback AI
5) playing the kings is significantly different and harder than playing the flames.
6) 3-4 penalties a game per team.


I can play the game using PLAY NOW exclusively until next year. I really can....

I realize that doesn't have a good chance of happening with nhl 15, but the demo's more aggressive CPU D-men gave me hope for this series. Also, the elimination of cpu robo passing was a huge surprise for me. these were 2 of my 3 biggest gameplay complaints for the last 5 years. The 3rd being not enough penalties. If people play 12 minute periods and can get 7-8 penalties on average per game....then that would be great.

more on ice gameplay impressions please

thanks

what if there is a trade and I want to do it on my rosters, after the trade can I edit to the right number also?( not in be a gm, I know you can do it in that)

I'm dying to hear or see footage from the ps3 and 360 version. I would pay $60 for the upgraded rosters and nbcsn package. I am hoping some people with the season ticket are able to chime in soon.
