NHL 15: What the Ignite Engine Means



Now that we've seen a few games featuring the “Ignite” engine from EA Sports, it's a bit easier to understand where the NHL series may go with that technology and design philosophy powering its action. At the same time, the first batch of Ignite-powered games — NBA Live 14, Madden 25 and FIFA 14 — have all been rooted in the previous generation of consoles, showing glimpses of the next-gen gaming future while being firmly anchored to the past. The first “real” Ignite product will be EA UFC, and EA has put a lot of stock in how the sport of MMA — and the UFC brand, in particular — can help diversify their sports portfolio.

What can we take from the first Ignite games as well as EA UFC? Quite a lot, I think. From the design philosophy of those titles, it's possible to see what EA might have in store for the NHL brand, keeping in mind the fact that the folks in Burnaby working on NHL 15 only number in the dozens, not the hundreds that are found in other game studios.

For me the only thing that could save the future of EA Hockey game is competition. If 2K doesn´t ressurect their hockey game the EA´s NHL will become a new Madden, and that´s really sad.

Hopefully this fancy new engine will allow for group hugs after goals!

The Ignite Engine is all fluff at the current moment. Ea Sports needs to put up are shut up with all their titles, Sure we know Fifa, NHL, and maybe UFC will do find, but what about Nba Live or Madden. Ignite Engine is a bust until proven wrong.

remember guys, the nhl development crew is not even close to the size as the other sports development teams. therefore, the NHL game will always be behind in terms of features.

Yet NHL has an online franchise - GM connected that FIfa can only dream about !

Still enjoying an online franchise with Thatsportsgamer that Richard Grisham (from our own Press Row Podcast) was in until a week or so ago when new the season started. Most enjoyable sports experience for me last year. Ran a close second by Next Gen Fifa on the pitch though to be fair.

Genuinely looking forward to Next Gen NHL and what the power of the new console and the company wide EA tech can bring - that team punches well above it`s weight.
