Does the game seem to lack certain sound effects?

Things such as certain shots that are huge slappers, or when you celebrate by crashing into the boards, sometimes when I hit the post it doesn't even make a clink sound, checks don't even have a noise that gave off the feel of a hard check, I mean I could sort of go on and on with the lack of sound effects. Has it ever been commented on by EA?

The biggest sound effect it's missing is the crowd reacting to ANYTHING.

Yeah the sound quality is very low. It's not even close to the last-gen versions. Sometimes you his the crossbar without even knowing until Doc mentions it. I just asked Rammer on twitter if they plan on updating the sounds of the game, but I highly doubt he answers.

There are things that look better, but man there are a ton of things that 14 still does 100x better.

I noticed that for me there's no music playing when the home team scores and the crowd goes quiet to quickly IMO by the face off the crowd is silent again takes away from the immersion

14 still feels more complete. Puck and jersey movement while skating seem to be what 15 has.

I'm so pissed. NHL has been one of my favorite franchises, and then NHL 15 came out.

This thing has less energy than a 95yr old diabetic man, with the audio being so, so dead. Just brutal. It has all the makings to be great- Impact engine, NHL on NBC presentation, years of greatness, and, most importantly, a dedicated fan base that constantly purchases this game. I'm hopeful for NHL 16, but there are going to be some questions EA has to answer before my $60 heads out the door again.

Yeah it's definitely lacking something here and there, at least as I play in 5.1

The one I actually notice the most is on more on the smaller hits or bumps. It's probably not something you would hear on a regular TV broadcast, but with more of the nudges and small checks being more prominent in this game, it really feels like the user lacks any sort of feedback when engaging in these moments, which leaves me at least a bit confused at times.
