NHL 15 Achievement List Has No Trace of EASHL or GM Connected (Xbox One)

[Elite49]

As someone who never played EASHL, it sucks that its out for those who played it. I love these Achievements/Trophies this year because not 90% are for online only. The worst style of Achievements are online ones.

I'm usually a sure fire purchaser of the game. I've bought multiple copies in years past so that friends can play. I've bought this game and/or received it for free from EA every year since the first year it came out on Sega Genesis.

I can honestly say, it's going to come down to the demo and early access to decide. If the mode I play the most isn't in I just don't think I'll enjoy it much, personally. The AI isn't good enough for me to stay interested in playing and handicapping myself to get a sim result, historically speaking.

So to have a fan of the sport and video game, like myself, wavering on a decision this late in the process should speak volumes as to where the state of this game is at currently. It's not good right now. I can say that.

Nhl is a niche sport, it can certainly be underwhelming and not make a profit for EA (although i doubt why they wouldnt be able to profit seeing as how barebones the game looks. they probably just need to sell a couple thousand to break even.)
We must hope for this so that ea either mandates their devs to patch in eashl and gm connected for this year or they cut the price quickly to reflect the value that their game presents in its current cut down state.

For the record, if the game is not fully featured from the onset I believe there is a near 100% that the missing modes cannot be patched into the game.

EA patched in UT to FIFA when it first came out

On the other hand patching to something like Ultimate Team adds a major lot of micro-transactions to the game while GM Connected and/or EASHL does not (unless everybody buys 15 pair of skates/gloves/stick/helmet for their EASHL players). I don't want to be negative, just that the payback would not be the same to them to work to add a game mode at a later date than it was with fifa ultimate team.
