No EASHL, GM Connected, OTP, or Live The Life in NHL 15 on XB1/PS4 (Interview)

06:57 PM - August 19, 2014 by RaychelSnr

It’s official: EASHL, GM Connected, OTP, and Live the Life will not be in NHL 15.

The modes which will be in the game, will include play now, Be A Pro, Be a GM, Online Vs, Hockey Ultimate Team, and NHL Moments Live. The plan, as of right now, is to deliver Online Team Play via a patch after launch.

We sat down with Producer Sean Ramjagsingh to discuss why those modes were not included and to talk about the modes which are in the game. The discussion also turns to how to the team deals with community reactions and plans for the future of the franchise, which admittedly are quite exciting. See for yourself after the jump!

Actually it makes perfect sense if you did not play those missing modes. I will monitor everyone's gameplay thoughts and reviews to see if the teams finally play different from one another. NHL series suffers from the same problem that FIFA does and that is realism based the way their real life counterparts play. If they really worked on gameplay then you might see me getting in line. However, I am concerned about penalties again for the 3rd year in a row that seems to be lacking.

Is there still a playoff mode in the game because I like to create the real world playoffs and have at it.

Way to prove my point.

watching the videos so far.. it looks like the gameplay was primarily worked on to you?

Between live the life and bap is not a hugh diffrent.
I will see with the demo how is the gameplay, it's ea the will change a little bit the slider, that's it.

GMC was great in theory, too friggin' slow in execution. Speed things up and more people will use it.

They also need to have the ability to customize the season length. 82 games and multiple seasons is a killer.

This is so brutal. Last year the reason for not releasing on xb1/ps4 was because you guys (EA) did not want to put out an incomplete game, now 12 months later thats exactly what we get.. an incomplete game. Presentation WILL NOT bring fans back year after year, GM Conected and EASHL will. The only reason my friends play Madden anymore is not because of presentation, but because of GM connected. Otherwise they would have tossed that game to the curb, as I have. Other than this slap in the face, gameplay looks really fun. Keep up the good work (in the gameplay department)

Option for shorter seasons would have helped too at least for me and my guys.

Thank's EA at least you gave me the ability to cancel my order today on amazon, they asked me for a reason i put down "EA whats 60 bucks for an incomplete game. " EASHL and OTP are the reason i play the game all year round with out both there is no way i'll buy it. Destiny will get all may attention now maybe I'll return for NHL 16.

Only reason I watch NHL now is because a couple of guys(from my madden league) talked me into NHL 13. I cant remember the last hockey game I played, it was prob on PS1. I'm from Florida and all of my knowledge came from watching The Mighty Ducks as a youngster. After a week of learning the rules I was hooked. Not only on the game, but learning the sport as a whole. Since then EASHL has been the only mode I've played.

No way in **** will EA get my $60 for the PS4 version. Nor will I drop $ on a last gen version with a most likely untouched EASHL mode.

IMO NOTHING in the sports games genre comes remotely close to a 5v5 / 6v6 user game of hockey where users compete in unison to defeat the opposing users. It's a beautiful thing, especially when you defeat highly ranked cocky french men. Im extremely disappointed in the dev team.

Well, they are a public company. That's what public companies are supposed to do.

I would be OK with that if I actually believed that they built the engine from the ground up. From the videos that have been released (not from EA) that looks far from the case. They can't even release any non-trailer clips to showcase the game.

I'll still probably play this game more than any other game on the market, but that's more because I'm a sucker for hockey games and these are fun for the most part.

That's the biggest head scratcher to me. Had they released a game last year without EASHL/GMC I think most logical fans would have understood. I'm not buying they started this next gen cycle after 14 was complete. '14 was almost a carbon copy of '13 with a little bit of polish.

So as far as OTP, when they patch it in (because they said they will) does that mean you pick a position on an NHL team and play with real players, or does that mean you play with your character in a drop-in game?

# 116 TDKing @ 08/20/14 12:58 AM

You play with NHL players

# 117 stealstang @ 08/20/14 01:02 AM

OTP is your custom made player you play with.

# 118 stealstang @ 08/20/14 01:02 AM

in 14 at least

Not in this version coming up for ps4 and xbone. It will be NHL teams and the players on those teams that each player is controlling.
