NHL 15 Might Be Missing More Than We Anticipated (XB1/PS4)

Don't give them ideas.

Am I crazy or are there no Charging penalties anymore?

You guys think we will see a "letter to the fans" apologizing for all the missing features and how they promise to make the game better?

It concerns me that they have not said a thing yet.

And it REALLY concerns me that we have not heard the word "sorry" yet.

I kind of agree with this. The graphics are good don't get me wrong but they aren't as crisp as the other sports titles.

Thanks for all the info here. Yesterday I cancelled my pre-order. I usually buy NHL every year (although last year I waited for a sale), but EA has proven to me once and for all that they just can't (or won't) put in the resources and effort, yet still want full price, plus microtransactions/DLC. Also the constant lying and misinformation (sorry..."marketing") is annoying.
This feels like simply one more half-baked release in EA's recent history...SimCity, Battlefield 4, now Madden and NHL. Maybe we'll see a SimCity/Battlefield style apology in the coming weeks. Hey, don't apologize man, just do it right the first time!
$70 CDN is outrageous for this half-baked effort, not too mention all the bugs that likely haven't been discovered yet.
The worst part is I like the new puck physics, it really seems better to me...but I don't care about the new crowd. The women look horrendous!! And I turn off PBP after three games.
I can understand not fitting in every single feature we're used to, there were a lot of modes in NHL 14. And no Custom Music, well that's on Sony, just like when PS3 came out.
But going forward they'll be hyping up NHL 16 - "oh, now we've added all new Player Edit Mode...". It's painful.
Something must have gone wrong during development. Maybe hackers formatted their server and they didn't have a backup or something? there must be a rational explanation. 😏
I'll re-evaluate it at Christmas if it goes on sale...but no way I'm paying full fare for a new puck, but missing so much else.
It'd sure be nice if another company could make a hockey game.

If you really want this game buy it on eBay. EA may have gotten one sale thanks to the original purchaser (maybe) but they won't get yours and you'll get it cheaper than used at Gamestop.

This just saved me $60.

I typically purchase NHL each year, but this is an absolute joke. Thanks for saving me the money EA, I will enjoy it on something else.

With all of those missing features there is still one more:


Missing is my $60 from their bank account.


Not really understanding how this happened, can anyone explain?
