well.. The EA campus is just a few block from my house and I know many people who works at EA. They do care about the work they do. I am not seeing it will be all fix and perfect but you do have to give the runner a chance.

I am shock by the number of missing mode/features but I will let them explain themselves before sending them to the cross.

maybe there is a misunderstanding and developers have misunderstood the meaning of next-gen with last-gen ...??

Sorry, but we've given them a few YEARS to get it right. EA has proven they are all about looks and not gameplay.

1. Realistic arenas: so the game has been around since the early 90s and the "revamp" was basically done in 2004. 10 years later, we are NOW just getting accurate arenas?

2. Possibly no player editing, but hey, you have a crowd that is more lifelike. Glad EA got it's priorities straight.

3. NBC presentation....phew....because I didn't want the poor goalie AI fixed. Seeing the Goalie come way out of the net again leaving an open net chance.

4. Penalties? Where?

5. Color schemes on the menu......yes...white text on a glowing teal background was an awesome choice.
.
Just from the DEMO I found those issues. So without those modes in the game that would technically free up the EA "dev" staff to work on the nagging issues from years past right? Right? Hello? EA?

I don't have high hopes for another version being released in the future.

This game should have a new name..........EA NHL HUT 15

I wonder how the EA NHL board doing regarding this news? That is why EA was silent about this game, only presenting the NBC broadcast, the crowds reaction and faces, the venue (except Chicago and Carolina) because thats about it for NHL 15.

Yes I am so mad about this news coz I love playing NHL video game. Take out all the shooting, RPG/adventure, heck other sports games just give me NHL. It flabbergasts me to see how much effort EA is giving for this game.

I hope the sales of this game will be all time low and would result to changing of the developing team leaders. Yea fire RAM or even the director of EA who decided on this poor effort.

Heres my gripes:

1. Authentic arenas- 2k10 had authentic arenas. ON LAST GEN CONSOLES!
2. Built from the ground up- Really?!!! Looks a lot like NHL 14 to me!
3. Presentation- so adding doc and eddy was ok but what about goalies, d men, and other player AI?

Glad I didn't pre order. Still have Diablo 3, madden, the show and Destiny to keep me busy. Oh well, another year with no NHL game

Even when it comes to Ultimate Team, NHL 15 is pretty limited.

Madden, FIFA, and even NBA Live all offer way more Ultimate Team features like challenges, tournaments, offline seasons, etc.

Online seasons and CPU exhibition games are the only HUT options in NHL 15 Early Access.

At least Destiny comes out on the same day. :/
