Its mostly* all there on ps3/360.

All game modes and menu options are exactly just as they were in 14 on last gen. Only changes appear to be some slight physics and tuner tweaks. Some equipment and player changes, as well of course.

*As was mentioned earlier in the thread EA Sports Arena is gone.

How are the PIM during sim? Last year PIM was way off! Enforcers would be lucky to have 100 PIM in 82 games. Players who hardly get penalties gets more. Almost like they reversed it. How is it this year? Sold my PS3 but forgot I do still have XBOX under all that dust, may get it this year and go onto next gen next year as they should have some modes back.

They changed the microtransaction system and took out jersey #0.

Otherwise, it's the same as NHL 14.

It does. All you have to do is move your controller icon into the middle on the team select screen.
