NHL 15: Early Impressions from 360/PS3 Version

Is it worth upgrading from NHL 13 to NHL 15 just for Division Realignment?

Oh my god...yes....
You will be amazed at the difference....

I'm still playing NHL 11 (and enjoying it). I'm strongly considering NHL 15 to complete my set of last gen games.

Can I still use the 3 button 'classic' controls if I so choose? Any other potential issues for an older gamer making this transition?

Classic controls and NHL 94 controls are both still in there, if you want to use them over the dual joystick setup.

This is an easy game to play, even on the hardest difficulty settings, since the CPU won't pressure you much when you have the puck.

I skipped 13 because I read bad reviews, but I jumped from 12 to 14 on release day because they added third person fighting. This small difference made the game worth buying. Weird, probably. This year, if they included NBC graphics to go with Doc and Mike, it would make the game worth buying, but they didn't, so I'm holding out.

If you only want division realignment, NHL 14 you can pick up for cheap, but I suppose if you have the money to spend, getting 15 would be more worth your money to get rid of the old commentary team (finally!)

other than that from what it sounds like, exactly identical to 14.

Jyoung. Do you feel that CPU is even more passive than 14? If so I have to think purchase again...

The CPU's defensive pressure feels the same.

The CPU's offense seems to dump the puck in a lot more this year, but they tend to dump it at bad times when no one is rushing in to retrieve, so it's made the CPU offense even less effective than it used to be.

I just checked out all of the EASHL player type attribute caps and can confirm that they are the same as last year.
