I must agree with the sentiments on these last two screens shots, very nice indeed. We also finally have four refs.

Those screenshots are looking really good. I cant wait to see some gameplay footage though and the AI needs to be better moving forward. I hope the constraints are the reason because it should not be that bad in the next gen titles.

These two systems which were called "next gen" Never were next gen, PC's often had triple or more the amount of memory even when these machines first were released. As a contrast today the PS4 and Xb1, have 8 gigs of ram. The speed of the PS4's ram is faster than that of the Xb1, GDDR5 vs GDDR3 which is why the PS4 has so far often had true 1080p at 60fps, as opposed to the Xb1 often having a lower resolution to maintain 60fps. Now again, most modern PC's have 12, 16, or more gigs of ram in them, the pc I'm currently typing this post on has 16 Gigs. So when people were, and continue to say, "Oh EA is just being lazy" No actually they weren't being lazy, they were up against the wall specs wise on what the PS3 and 360 could handle, and do so at a respectable 60 fps where they could. I truly believe EA wanted Hockey IQ to be a reality where each player on the ice was running it's own AI on the fly to react to plays, anticipate where the puck was going etc. There are glimpses of this in NHL 14 but it's not consistent enough that it really had that much of an over all effect on the game. They have alot more memory now to work with, nearly 10X the amount the last two consoles had. We may not see this in year 1 on the PS4 and Xb1, but I would be extremely surprised if the AI isn't a whole hell of a lot better moving forward.

Reading my PC specs then realizing NHL15 won't even touch it's sweet hard drive make me so sad...the thought of having NHL15 on a PC with the ability to modify the game makes me so happy.

Not on PC, might as well not exist.

Just a question for you PC-gamers. Are you offline player or online player?

Because I could see NHL online on the PC could be pretty brutal with the amount of hackers/cheaters. Not saying that console gamers don't hack/cheat, but it's way easier on the PC.

Online! I don't think it would be too much of an issue re: cheating. The PC crowd is generally more mature and into modding for the benefit of the game rather than hacking.

Very impressive, I'm so excited for this game.

Well, I don�t have any consoles anymore (my last console was N64) and I also don�t intend to buy it. Why should I? PC is much better in terms of hardware and software.

Anyway, my answer of your question:

In Sportgames I�m ONLY play the career-modus, which is 100% offline.

For the other video-game gernes, it depends on the titles. Most games offline, but some games also online.

Game play.... Game play.... Game play??? Hope it steps up as much as the graphics seem to have.
