I also see a big difference/variance in player and team talent levels , nice and Im Calgary vs Boston and Im really struggling man this game just feels so much like NHL hockey , I mean EA really caught the spirit of the game and penalties are also tweak near perfect if you set it up well . Win or lose I feel like I have control and trust me the gameplay and AI isnt a copy of 14 as NHL 15 just has so much more depth and really just play a realistic but fun game of Hockey very addicting PS : You cant play this game out of the box ! You have to find your skill level and on the PS4 adjust your TV if it doesnt look amazing ! and enjoy

That is pretty much how it was historically speaking as well with the franchise modes in NHL. It usually spells trouble that all you can get a decent game from is play now because you won't have sliders for online and in the other mode(s) the sliders are very hit or miss.

As I said earlier above PLAY NOW ONLY and yeah I hated how all modes played different from the rest as Playoff mode was always more hits and less scoring and with no in game slider saves made it twice as hard to find your skill level .

Im really just having a blast as I struggle with lesser teams and have more success with better teams and that cant be denied in this game as gameplay is as good as it can get while still being interactive .

Many more games in and I've still yet to score a non-deflected slapshot from the point.

I am in the verge of going from mildly disliking the game to hating it very soon. I've my last 5 games duets CPU going mental in the 3rd period. I have never been so humialted in my life.you have no tool on defense to defend against the CPU abilities to skate like they are Kurt browning , pass like they are all Marc Savard and shoot like they are Ovechkin.

I have play with the slider with very limited success.

I like how the players protect their goalie.

For all the time that EA Sports spend re-working the crowd, they sure do suck. There is absolutely no life to the crowd. Power play opportunity... no noise. Big hit... no noise. Goal? Noise for a moment and then by the faceoff you can hear a pin drop. It's very surprising. I've even maxed out the crowd noise in the options menu and turned everything else down. It sounds terrible.

So many are getting stuck right on Dmans stick. What about turning down pass interceptions...

Computer passes cross ice for a one timer in the slot every time. And every time they score. This is just dumb. You know its coming but you cant stop it because they just pass it to whoever your ai teammates are "defending".

Three games against a friend of mine online, three times the game has crashed as we headed into OT (yeah, we're pretty even). Two times yesterday and once today. Did it happen to anyone else? Is there a place where I can report this problem to EA?

I'm sorry about the off-topic, but I didn't want to open a thread just for this.

Other than that, I enjoy playing the game. I adjusted the sliders a bit to get a slower pace and better goalies (with the default sliders I had only high-scoring games). Of course I'm waiting to start the GM Mode because I want to draft my own players so until then it's just Play Now and Online quick matches for me. Which is ok because I'll be pretty busy until mid-October and won't have much time to play.
