MMM interesting. The only game that has blow me away on graphics on ps4 so far is NBA 2K14 has it looks photo realistic on close ups. Mlb had by far the best graphics last gen but mlb 14 while it looks good was a step down form NBA 2K14 and I would say that madden looks about has good has MLB 14 the show slightly worse. I don't have nhl 15 but the demo looked by far the worse out of all of those games and normaly demos are how the finlay games look so I figured nhl would be the worst looking.

Lost 3-1 against Arizona.. was a fun game, only 2 penalties though.

Skating is really different and I'm starting to get used to not over committing and being where I'm supposed to be instead of doing like I've always done and lined up players, you can't get away with that near as much with NHL 15 next gen.

Had to turn manual passing off in hardcore mode though.. I don't have time to hold the trigger to make good long passes.

This is what I want to hear! Missed shots by a foot, missed passes, bouncing passes. Watching real hockey so many shots miss the net and passes aren't tape to tape. So that's awesome we have that!
About passes that shouldn't of made it through, well that can happen in real life too.

I love it. The demo had me worried as the goalies were just terrible. If you gave the puck handler some daylight the goalie never stopped it. I bumped game speed up to normal, and I moved goalie reaction almost all the way up on all-star level. Such a difference...the games are close, great saves, and lots of fun. I know so many people are bashing this game, but if you like Online Vs, I experienced no lag at all. Be a GM (franchise) is good enough for me I don't care about the Ultimate Fantasy stuff because in the end everyone wants the same 10 guys.

I normally don't post a lot but because of so much negative stuff, i feel the need to do so. I still have a couple hours left to play before it expires, but I'm waiting so i can finish it up tomorrow and buy it Tuesday. The hits in this game are great, shot deflections and pass breakups are essential and work perfectly. Commentary is pretty good, missing some energy at key points, like GW goal with 30 seconds left and its not a great call but by the time I get comfortable and know I heard everything I'm goingEA did a great job and like UFC, I know their patches that will arrive over time will make the game even better. The UFC patches not only added guys, but also animations and new ways to fight...incredible. Also, the demo showed only 3 skill levels, but there is a superstar level in the full game to have the radio on anyways.

Great gameplay...except for the lack of penalties. No excuse for it. I'm not sure what it is, but it has to be some sort of philosophy among devs that penalties and fouls take away the fun factor in games.

Minimal penalties in NHL, rarely do fouls get called in FIFA, and finally the penalty situation in Madden. I'm sick of the excuses as to why this never gets handled.
