I'm so excited to play this game...unfortunately, I only play EASHL. If EASHL is not included on the PS4 version I will be sitting out this season. I'll wait till next year. It's TLOU & Destiny for me.

The reason I got an xbox one was because of nhl (well not completly true I'm addicted to video games but I have been looking forward to nhl the most). Loving the graphics especially the crowd, now this is what ea needed to show last year for living worlds cause they look great. However if game modes have been dropped like eashl I'm not going to be pissed but extremely disappointed. I don't care if eashl is a stripped down version, at least I have the option to play with my friends on a team. Sorta makes nhl feel like a different game all together. Anywho all in all can't wait to get my hands on it regardless.

I think it was a great idea to take the extra year. Having said that, I doubt the timeline actually worked out like that considering the size of the NHL team, and the fact that they still had to do NHL 14 and all that came with it last year. Realistically, this probably only had slightly more time in the oven that it would've otherwise. Regardless though, hopefully that proved to be useful.

I take rumors with a grain of salt, especially ones on Reddit. This time of year it seems everyone knows someone "of great importance" at EA who gives them inside information.

HUT will be in it. Beyond the fact its a cash cow for EA, all the pre-order bonuses deal with extra HUT gold packs.

The EASHL drop would hurt, especially considering FIFA kept their version of it in the game last year.

This was a little bit of a sneaky article. We are supposed to see some real gameplay today according to an announcement, and this is just asking us to comment on that 2nd sizzle trailer from a couple days ago. If this was made by a poster and not an OS writer, he would have been warned if not straight out banned.

NHL 15 looks pretty slick to me. I'm an offline franchise mode guy, so as long as that's in there, I'm good. The graphics, presentation and gameplay look amazing.

# 8 canucksss @ 08/15/14 03:46 PM

All I've seen are CGI presentations and some gamers playing the game. So its hard to say if the AI has some improvements, modes like that of BaGM (which I play the most) and gameplay is address.

If EA is showcasing their job graphically and presentation well...its a very good one. But I hope EA will stop using "Gameplay" in their videos since its not being emphasized on their video clips.

Yeah, same here. I generally just play Be a GM. I'm obsessed with making trades, setting lines, signing FAs and watching stats...sometimes more so than the gameplay itself!!

Not good fellas, check out the box art for the back of the nhl cover. Only says 1-4 players, whereas the xbox 360 version says up to 12 players...

EA I have supported you for years and bought your crappy games. If no EASHL in this years game, I will no longer be an EA customer. That is the mode I play more than any other game.

# 12 yausser1017 @ 08/15/14 05:40 PM

More importantly, why the hell did I buy a ps4 if nothing works smoothly for it. All I want is to play a damn game of hockey with my friends

# 13 GuyinPA75 @ 08/15/14 05:44 PM

No EASHL no buy for me. End of story.

And that is saying something. With my gamertag being lemieux that pretty much says how much a die hard hockey fan I and still not willing to support the game without EASHL.

Would do single player but controls and camera feels off. Last good game with good camera and controls was NHL2k8. I miss that game.

I was expecting a lot more from the commentary during gameplay. Doc shows so much emotion during games, but the calls in this game are pretty bland. "Look at this... and score..." So much more potential, hopefully they build on it.

# 16 Cletus @ 08/15/14 07:11 PM

I like the commentary. It's different and it's hard for someone to fake enthusiasm, which is what you have to do in these situations. It's also something that separates George Clooney from Bob of the local theater (or theatre). I don't mind the dead air, it's easier for me to play with dead air then someone sabre rattling about things. One of the many reasons I hate Tim McCarver.

# 17 garyjr33 @ 08/15/14 08:46 PM

However, I will be very disappointed if there is no GM mode because that is primarily what I play.

Have you heard if there is a multi player OFFLINE GM mode?

# 19 DirtyJerz32 @ 08/15/14 10:05 PM

Shinny graphics is good, but without EASHL, I'm not sure I can pull the trigger.

# 20 Rhaze48 @ 08/17/14 03:12 PM

After watching the gameplay footage I am slightly concerned that us folk that almost exclusively play Goalie are getting boned again this year. From what I saw we can look forward to another year of cross-crease one-timers and cheese top-shelf goals from the slot after a behind-the-net pass
