Despite Its Issues, NHL 15 Is Still a Thrill On-Ice

Great article and spot on. Solid foundation to build on going forward.

This game is awesome one of the most fun sports games I've played since NBA 2K11

Haha so the other week all the blogs and posts were bashing this game saying how unfinished it is and now this week saying the complete opposite. Make up your mind. Been fine all along just because its not 100 percent realistic doesn't make it a fun *** game.

Been saying that since release. I get it, if you only play EASHL you are upset and not buying, but if you mostly played the other modes, it's worth it. I know people will say but you paid the full price, for half the game. Well, really I didn't. The parts of the game that are missing, I never played anyways.

I'm having lots of fun playing head to head against friends (offline), and enjoying my Be A GM mode. Sucks that I won't be able to actually draft my players, I admit that fully, but playing the game for the most part is really fun, it looks great, love the new presentation. So to me, it's been worth it.

Glass half full etc etc. I think it's a shame that EA made such a beautiful and immersive game, but they didn't put enough time and/or effort into the polish and omitting important game features that people care about. I'm still waiting for the stats bug to be fixed otherwise playing GM mode is kind of pointless when you dont get to see players season stats in the match. It really could have been an EPIC game despite not having any competition.

Haven't committed to buying a '2015' sports game yet. Debating NHL..

I am as well loving the on ice game play, I was planning to boycott but was able to pick it up for 39.99 +25off gamecenter was almost free. Hut for me has been a blast, the on ice gameplay is great, haven't noticed too much cheese and was able to build a great team without spending almost any money due to collecting teams.

Despite my numerous negative posts I too am enjoying the game now. I have good sliders and I am getting good penalty results (one of my biggest beefs) Don't get me wrong I still think all the missing modes and what not is inexcusable but I am having fun with a BeaGM season. I have already accepted that there will be no season mode patched in and I doubt we will get player edit. I do really wish they would add full roster control so I can keep my rosters updated during BeaGM to match the real NHL rosters. There are some other minor things I hope they address also, like proper in game stats showing for your season for players and goalies....and a few bugs should be fixed but other than that I am having fun
