More Signs Point to PS4 & Xbox One Versions of NHL 15 to Ship Without EASHL

LOL now that's entering the overstatement realm, quite honestly. Then again, it's not like you're in the industry, so you're merely spitballing with that hypothesis. Even if EASHL isn't in the game, it will likely only be a one year absence. When NHL 16 comes around and Rammer is advertising NEXT GEN EASHL, the franchise will suddenly "undeaden" itself, lol.

I hope that happens so maybe we'll see some new leadership making this game.. but I doubt it.

I'm not discrediting the mode, what I meant was for the casual player who isn't into hockey, they typically play with their friend in 1v1. Atleast thats how I am for NBA 2k, I'm not a huge basketball fan so I don't venture much further than online 1v1 and franchise, but it could be different for the casual NHL player

TBH, isn't EASHL something they could realistically patch in this year? Or is that too involved a process for a mid-season patch

Of course they COULD do it, but I can't imagine EA doing something that awesome

No, I'm pretty sure that Ultimate Team is to NHL what Ultimate Team is to FIFA.

And you would be wrong.

I'm a huge hockey fan, have been for 20 years and EASHL is by far my favorite mode. And even if it is largely made up of casuals, as you so eloquently put it, don't you think that once they realize that EASHL is not in the X1/PS4 versions of the game (if its true) they'll skip it? That's a big chunk gone.

I know that if it's true, I'll be skipping NHL 15 and go pick up a used copy of 14 on the Xbox to play with my team.
