NHL15 - Xbox360/PS3

[pm83]

There obviously haven't been that much info about NHL15 when thinking about upgrades on Xbox360 and PS3. Still some (or a lot) of us are planning to purchase NHL15 to "old gen". So it would be reasonable to gather all the info in one place to discuss and find the updates.

So what we know about 15 on PS3 & Xbox360?


According to EA Sports these are the features:

• Multiplayer NHL Collision Physics

Year two of the critically-acclaimed NHL® Collision Physics evolves to introduce true-to-life multiplayer collisions. Net scrambles and player pileups capture the true desperation of every shift in the NHL.

• All-New Commentary Team

NHL 15 welcomes the NBC Sports™ commentary team of Mike ‘Doc’ Emrick and Eddie Olczyk to the broadcast booth. Doc and Eddie will anticipate plays and ramp up their intensity to match the action on the ice with over 35,000 lines of brand-new commentary.

• Lace Up the Skates - Fall 2014

Play old-school hockey with NHL 94 Anniversary Mode, suit up with an online team in EA SPORTS Hockey League, or build and play with your ultimate fantasy team in Hockey Ultimate Team. NHL15 brings with it a generation of the franchise’s best game modes.

We still haven't been getting confirmation from Rammer or other devs about season mode on "old gen". Is it IN or OUT? I was thinking to skip 15 this year if season mode is out because I'm an offline player but because I need my hockey fix I'm more and more leaning towards purchasing it afterall. Why? Because I've been digging Doc and Eddie's lines on the videos what we've been seeing lately from people playing the demo and to me new commentary might give enough of that fresh touch. I also enjoy Winter Classic and Battle For the Cup and I'm happy that they are still included.

Thanks for this thread. I use NHL13 and plan on updating to NHL15 because it will probably be the last one on PS3.

Well it looks like we are not getting a demo. Heck I cant even find a demo for 14.

I just saw now, we probably won't get a demo (trying to find it on Xbox 360, but there's only 14). Unless there was something stated already, maybe those of us who are "lower on the totem pole" will have to wait until next week for a demo.

Well, purchasing NHL 15 on the 360 is on the fence for me right now if I don't get a demo to play around with. Like, what's supposed to grab me and make me buy it on the 360 if I can't see a demo of what is be giving money for?

At this point, I feel like I'm at a bus stop, but the bus I'm waiting for isn't coming...

I still play NHL13.

I've been watching the demo gameplay on One/PS4 and it seems too clunky, even not as good as on NHL13. I know it sounds stupid but apart from graphics I can't really see any improvements.

13 plays slower and feels more sim-like. But still I'm gonna buy 15 for 360 because I'm tired of super goalies and offensive zone passing (or lack of it).

Does anybody know is the EA Season ticket available (for NHL15 and also FIFA15) now on the PSN? And if not - when? And will it be available for the EU?
