NHL 15 News Post




EA Sports will be releasing NHL 15 screenshots from every NHL arena over the next few months. Today they have released screenshots of Madison Square Garden and Joe Louis Arena.

As many people have pointed out via Twitter and in the comments section, we have more referees! 2 linesmen, 2 referees and look at the scratches on the glass at MSG!

Quote:
The power of the next-gen consoles finally allows the NHL franchise to capture every detail of an NHL arena. Unique arena elements such as 19,000+ seat capacities, dynamic lighting, player entrance tunnels and much more are all captured with a level of detail not possible on the previous generation. This summer, NHL 15 will make home games will truly feel like home.

I love the fact that we FINALLY have 4 officials on the ice but why does EA STILL make them look so stiff? Give them some love in the modeling and animation department too!

Could careless about arena shots. The game is played from an overhead view, so all you see is the ice. I'd rather see screenshots of players in action.... blocking shots, shooting, goalie saves. This tells me nothing about the game.

I just hope EA was able to retain the naming rights to all the actual arena names. I'd hate to have to go back to TD Garden being labeled as Boston Arena ever again /shudder
I'm sure you'll get what ur looking for.....this is the first yr i finally have my MSG & not a generic "ny, ny arena"!

I think most of us feel the same, but these shots do look impressive. Still, the hardcore fans will wait for the actual gameplay improvements before deciding to plunk down money. We have been fooled far too many times by EA and its hype machine. You can put lipstick on a pig...

It's still early. I'm not worrying too much about all of that for now. Honestly, if EA can up the physics, improve the gameplay (the way goals are scored, how hitting affects players, the ability to actually play defense without just flailing a stick around on the ice and hoping they skate into it..., and up the graphics a bit, that will be enough to give me hope.

I realize they may have their hands a bit tied on their first Next-Gen release. They're still working out all of the kinks, and they're going to have to also work simultaneously on a PS3/Xbox 360 version to release as well. I'm partially looking to buy NHL15 with the hopes of seeing the foundation for NHL16 to be mind blowingly good.

I want to see a screen shot of after a goal celebration personally. But the marketing dept is doing a good job for increasing the hype level little info by little info.

Sooooo...... is this coming out between now and August?
It may be news to you, but Summer lasts from around June 21st to September 21st and the game comes out September 9th. If you're interested, Fall runs Sept. 21-Dec. 21, Winter Dec.-Mar. and Spring is Mar.-Jun. Helpful things to know in life.

The screens look fantastic. As a Rangers fan, that screen makes it 10x more appealing to play a GM as the Rangers. There's a TON I still want out of this game, but for starters (since I'm still playing NHL 14 right now) if the new arenas were DLC for NHL14, that alone would increase my excitement and enjoyment about playing it, so this can only be viewed as a very good step.

Nhl 13 14 started the bs hockey era of nhl series , puck possesion and passning is not key as in nhl 12. Nhl13 was the Worst piece of crap , and nhl14 is pokespamming and dekes and breakaway bs. Bs gameplay especially in hut.

Ok, but this is a thread about authentic arenas in NHL 14.

At the risk of sounding like a corporate puppet, it looks like EA NHL got the gatorade permission back, that means authentic bottles on the nets instead of those blue EA Sport generic bottles.

Hopefully they have all the authentic arena names. Keep in mind in the past the teasers and pre-release game play footage has shown Arena names that didn't end up making the game. One year there were several shots of TD Garden and we were stuck with Boston Arena come game release.

I am really anxious to see Wells Fargo Center and the TD Garden.

This game is looking impressive on paper, that's for sure.

On the NHL site it said all 30 arenas. I am also wondering if the new home atmosphere means all 30 goal horns.
 
# 57 MizzouRah @ 06/06/14 12:40 AM
I'm impressed.. just panning around the arenas in between puck drops will do wonders for the immersion!
 
# 58 Zuke @ 06/06/14 09:49 AM
Would be nice to have these arenas in EASHL instead of playing in the same building every game.
 
# 59 csamuelsvt @ 06/06/14 11:12 AM
I pray, pray PRAY that they have the authentic goal horns in this song with the correct length and not cut off half way...

Does anyone have twitter and can they ask Rammer if they're in? It only helps with immersion and they took two years to make the game which can be seen with how beautiful the arenas look.

More shots of Rogers Arena please!
