Can someone check to see if there is much variation from game to game? Is it possible to change the cpu strategy by adjusting the coaching strategy of the other team?

# 343 stooge 1010 @ 09/06/14 08:55 PM

can you at least edit jersey #s from the main menu? I know nothing else can be edited,(like equipment)?

It still limits you to 30 player choices, but it's still better than the single guy that the game gives you.

Good thing Jonathan Toews is THE MAN!

Here's what I'm most eager to know for anyone willing to answer...

When you tweak the pass accuracy and pass reception ease sliders how effective are they? Can you create a game with tons of loose pucks basically?

You have to jump through rings of fire and walk a 9000 foot high tightrope around the world just to use a different player in practice mode. When for years, you've been able to just simply select whoever you want to use.

Dan Cleary will still be rated just as high as Wayne Simmons based on the past EA rosters. It seems like the only guys that did any work on this game were the physicist and graphic designers. I was on board with this game, but I make 8.75 an hour so 65 bucks is a big freaking deal. I guess I'm jumping on the NBA2k bandwagon. Maybe when the game is 20 bucks.

This right here. One of the realest post I have read in a long time. I remember them days in which I had to pick and choose things because of my finances. Just keep working hard and pick your spots man with your money. Eventually you will get in a situation in which you can get a game cause you want it, not cause you're on a budget. I remember them days very well. Just keep on doing what your doing bro.

Does the fatigue effect slider actually work on hardcore style? Seem like it only worked on High Impact style last year.

id compare it to madden. it looks good. actually in all honesty it looks real good. EA struggles with player faces however sometimes it seems to me. they definetly have no idea how to create a player with blue or green eyes. anyone with light eye color looks like the walking dead to me.

# 350 CujoMatty @ 09/07/14 02:24 AM

ok I messed around with some sliders. they are kinda all over the place. menus could definetly be set up better. Now the things I noticed should be taken with a grain of salt because im not a hardcore player so me being bad at the game probably has some influence. I havent really played much of this series last couple years.
first I have the penalty slider maxed but I noticed some other penalty sliders under the general setting and I maxed those to. 1st period I had 6 penalties only 1 against the cpu 5 against me but 2 of the 5 were my cpu teammates. so that seemed promising.

I knocked shot accuracy down a notch for wristers and slapshots and im getting a nice mix of missed shots which feels realistic.

I knocked pass accuracy down and pass intercept up. im getting a fair mix of intercepts plus a few bouncing or rolling pucks. I did however score a goal on a pass across the crease that probably shouldnt have made it through. gonna try a nother notch next game for both.

I drop hit power down 1 and im seeing a little more knocking players a little off instead of laying them out but its still a little over powered iny opinion. gonna knock that down one more next game.

I am having some fun with this I gotta say. some real wow moments but a few WTF ones as well. probably helps I havent played much of the series lately and again im pretty bad so some of this might be skewed but I thought id share what ive noticed.

I'm confused if AHL is in the game at all for *XBONE/PS4*. I seen on the demo and some of the YT streams that when you go to pick your team, it gives you the option that if you hit (Y) you can get a random league. Just wondering since this is my first year getting into NHL, so forgive me if this is or sounds like a stupid question.

The league is in the game. You just can't use it in any mode other than play now exhibition games.

Thanks I appreciate it, I couldn't find anything on this 100%. Honestly, I'm quite surprised they included the minors in this game with what's been cut already.

Well they have the rights. Was simply porting rosters and logos over really.

It looks like NHL 14 in a higher resolution. It looks nowhere near as good as NBA or Madden

As one who has found a way in the past to rationalize EA's decisions, I am disappointed with NHL on the XB1. The AI behaves very similar to last gen, as do the goaltenders. Neutral zone pressure is non-existent. Offensive AI is the typical tape to tape cross ice laser guided passes. The look of the game is pretty good, but the hype for the atmosphere is overdone because I feel like you only experience that during the pre-game. Once the puck drops, you're looking at the ice surface and players for the most part. Commentary is mediocre, I've yet to hear Doc Emrick actually sound like the guy on TV. As I'm reading this, it sounds like kind of an angry rant, but sadly this is all just honest observation. I won't be buying NHL at launch, I will wait and see what sort of support the game gets later.

# 357 CheapyD @ 09/07/14 11:07 AM

I played 6 hours of next-gen NHL 15 and then played a few games of NHL 14.

NHL 15 looks like higher resolution version of NHL 14. The graphics are not fundamentally different, but obviously the next-gen version is sharper.

Yeah, I would say madden is by far the worst looking of the major sport titles out right now.

NHL looks great.

This. The show even has sounds of the show option but no means to add custom music.

Lost 3-1 against Arizona.. was a fun game, only 2 penalties though.

Skating is really different and I'm starting to get used to not over committing and being where I'm supposed to be instead of doing like I've always done and lined up players, you can't get away with that near as much with NHL 15 next gen.

Had to turn manual passing off in hardcore mode though.. I don't have time to hold the trigger to make good long passes.
