what if there is a trade and I want to do it on my rosters, after the trade can I edit to the right number also?( not in be a gm, I know you can do it in that)

I'm dying to hear or see footage from the ps3 and 360 version. I would pay $60 for the upgraded rosters and nbcsn package. I am hoping some people with the season ticket are able to chime in soon.

Im new to this series, but I can understand all the people pissed about features of the game. When you all have been playing it for years.

But from a total new ea nhl player Im liking it. Im just 4:00min into a game and have had a slashing and another player in the penalty box. Playin on all star hardcore setting and havin a blast so far.

The game is fantastic, feels way different from the demo.
Love the 12 man physics, nice, very notable addition.
Waving jerseys, love it, adds a ton to the game.
Its amazing how every player feels totally different when controlling them. Been asking for this for years! 1st and 4 th liners =night and day difference.
Graphics are fantastic, life like OMG! Glad I upgraded to next gen.
Missing modes? Who cares I can play HUT for ever.
Gone is the up down hockey of years past, you really need to play real hockey.
Player AI fantastic its like each player has there own little brain WOW !!
Play by play is great exciting and on the money. Doc is not annoying at all.
This is really next gen !!!!!

YEAH RIGHT, RIP EA HOCKEY !! I gave it a fair chance i'm done till 2017 maybe longer.

This kind of thing is nothing new to EA or other game companies for that matter. With every new generation of gaming system, and this goes all the way back to SMS to Genesis, the first batch of games for the new system is all glitz intended to show off the fancy new graphics of the machine. Remember the first Madden for the Xbox 360? Funny thing is, at least from what I've seen in the demo....they didn't even do that in NHL 15. The game looks pretty much like NHL 14 on the 360....a couple of new camera angles but basically the same look in graphics as the previous game system. Pretty sorry effort IMOP. I think I wait till Black Friday or for the bargain bins for this one.

This thread has put me in a rough spot. I'm disappointed in all the mistakes in reading about concerning Be A Gm. I play that now exclusively when I'm playing solo, and I only play Battle for the Cup when playing with friends. I subscribe to thought that my dollar is my vote. Where I'm feeling conflicted is if I buy, I'm conceding that this is acceptable. If I don't buy, along with many others, it sends the message that this game isn't worth Ea or the development teams time.

Most likely I will wait until I can find a sale.

Thank you. i won't purchase it.
i'm getting tired of EA which downgrades each of its sports series at new gen consoles launch.

# 210 PES3Paul @ 09/04/14 03:41 PM

In one year, EA makes gamers forget about Madden 2006. Why even publish a game for next-gen when all the bells and whistles are going to those who stayed put with their outdated PS3's and 360's?

# 211 PES3Paul @ 09/04/14 03:44 PM

At least I only put down a $10 deposit for it. The biggest beneficiary of this abortion of a game rollout?

Destiny.

So it's a bare bones game with a single player HUT mode ready to drain piggy banks and allowances at launch worldwide, the "suits" dream game.

It probably sounds like a football game when the suits come to visit the devs, HUT, HUT, HUT HUT HUT.

If the gameplay is solid without any player edits: 1) good scoring feel 2) no cpu robo-passing 3) cpu defenders are pretty aggressive on the blue line.. 4) no comeback AI 5) playing the kings is significantly different and harder than playing the flames. 6) 3-4 penalties a game per team. I can play the game using PLAY NOW exclusively until next year. I really can.... I realize that doesn't have a good chance of happening with nhl 15, but the demo's more aggressive CPU D-men gave me hope for this series. Also, the elimination of cpu robo passing was a huge surprise for me. these were 2 of my 3 biggest gameplay complaints for the last 5 years. The 3rd being not enough penalties. If people play 12 minute periods and can get 7-8 penalties on average per game....then that would be great. more on ice gameplay impressions please thanks

Great post.
I'm in the same boat as all those extra modes mean nothing to me.
We're 12 pages in and there aren't a lot of actual gameplay impressions.
I understand everyone's frustrations of what's not in the game, but can some people provide insight into what is in the game - namely gameplay?

But when you send someone down they don't play games or anything, they just are in the minors and are waiting to come back up, hopefully progressing.

Ahhh....perhaps this is the reason why its only 6 hours limit - because we will see how poor this NHL 15 is, in terms of gameplay and modes that are in there. I wonder how the players send in minors would improve or even help the AHL affiliate.

A total let down with the lack of features, drafting, editing and modes. Somebody a while back called it Madden 06 all over again and they were right. I thought we were past that in a technological stand point? Haven't bought Madden in 2 years, looks like I'll go pick that up, and wait for this to go on sale.

I think the biggest disappointment NBA 2k14 (NG) in MyCareer having poor/corny script, non-Free Agency. The poor implemntation of VC into their gm mode. VC issues were just a big disappointment, IMO for 2K14.

EA's NHL 15, no doubt could compete 2k in that category.

Hi guys, new here, old dog in NHL games.

So, it has come to this. I have played every NHL game this franchise has made. And once again, I can't wait to give my hard earned cash to EA Sports (It's in the game!), just because I have to. I bought PS4 just for this game. I still have my old console, but I decided it was next-gen or no-gen. Good or bad. But I can't say I'm not disappointed they cut off almost all the crucial elements (for me, mainly EASHL) from this game. But like I said, I'm a sucker who cannot be without latest EA NHL, so I'll play it and I'll pretty much have to like it.

And you shouldn't do this, i don't want to tell you how to spend your money because its yours but do you really think its worth the 60 bucks? They want people to buy the game even if they put out a crap product don't be that consumer who buys it because you have 2 when its missing stuff that shouldn't be.

There ya go.

Basically the features in BaGM of NHL 13 or even 12 are better than 15.

I understand that in today's gaming...company releases their game and then patch/tune it later. I accept that as long as they are just addressing whatever was not noticed in their final check before its release.

But if EA will release a patch/tuner later to bring back what they took off is unacceptable. Because consumers paid the full price to play the game for the full year. If EA will release a patch/tuner 2-3 months after release, they are robbing the gamers of playing and enjoying the game for a year...that is the cost of $60.

No sim in be a pro is absolutely brutal.

Anybody on Xbox One have game clips not recording to DVR? Says recorded for it's not on my DVR.

# 220 Steve_OS @ 09/04/14 05:07 PM

OK everyone. Let's try to keep the discussion on the stuff that DOES work.

If you want to complain about the missing modes, features, etc. use this thread.

Let's get some impressions in here, and leave the rest out for the other thread.

Thanks for understanding.
