NHL 15 Fan Survey Lists Modes EA is Considering for NHL 16


Electronic Arts recently emailed select NHL 15 owners a survey that asks for feedback on this year's game and attempts to judge fans' interest in a few potential features for NHL 16.

Forum user NJDEVIL30274 posted a cell phone screen capture of the survey on Electronic Arts' official forums, showing some of the new features that the company is considering:

GM Connected, the 180-player online franchise mode that debuted in NHL 13 and was dropped from the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One editions of NHL 15, is disappointingly absent from this list. Though given EA's statements on the mode's metrics during a public Q&A that was conducted back in August, its absence is perhaps expected.


It's no surprise, either, to see Ultimate Team receiving so much attention, since EA continues to tout it as the series' most-played mode. Recent earnings reports have placed Hockey Ultimate Team's year-over-year digital revenue gains at 50% and 113% for the first two fiscal quarters of 2015.

The return of the EA Sports Hockey League (which also brings in digital revenue via paid attribute boosts) seems inevitable, and will likely win back some fans who skipped NHL 15. Rebuilding old modes from past titles, however, may not be enough to reverse the franchise's negative momentum in North America, where retail sales have decreased every season since NHL 11.

Surely EA will have some bigger surprises to share with its fanbase by the time E3 arrives next June.

World Cup of Hockey with authentic teams is intriguing.

Just bring back EASHL and work on that, incorporate the Team Creator if you need a 'new' aspect. Don't need Zamboni Racing. SMH

I'm assuming there is no BAGM with the Owner Mode taking over? Owner Mode does look pretty cool, as does The World Cup of Hockey. But Zamboni Mode? Really? Why even bother... Spend your time on the HOCKEY Modes, don't include some kind of racing Zamboni Mode...

How about just a regular season mode. I enjoyed its reintroduction in NCAA. I love it in NHL on the PS3. Its implemented in 2k. I don't typically have the time to play multiple seasons in multiple games. I may be in the minority here but my gaming time is limited by things like work and family. I can deal with skipping through half a season. Play one game sim one in NBA and NHL. Or play through a whole season in Madden, FIFA, or PES. I'd rather enjoy multiple games playing one or 2 seasons rather than having to stick to one devoting the predominance of my time to scouting and training.

I just want the regular season mode back in where I can edit all teams...if that's not back I can consider any future release a disaster. GM mode does not do it for me.
