WTF!!! Features this is the worst released game in NHL EA history!

# 462 Dmeadows013 @ 11/07/14 06:50 PM

The AI is laughable in this. If NHL players played like this, they would even be in a peewee league. No logic whatsoever

Haven't played in a few weeks.. loaded up the 11/7 roster, played a play now game on 10 mins/AS hardcore defaults with penalties turned up.

Game was actually good and fun and I didn't once throw my controller.. lol.

Did the new roster change some things or do play now games play different than BeaGM games?

Since there are no rosters for the 3 or the 360 I don't see that as a reason not to pick this game up if it looks shiny.

I have both (x360/xb1) and the puck physics are exceptional over last gen. The graphics are obviously much better as well as the crowd and arenas. Game play is a mixed bag, however.

I'm not sure how to put it into words.. last gen is what most of us who have played this series for years are used too.. with a few tweaks for the better. Current gen has been a roller coaster ride for many of us. There are times I'm in love with the current gen game and it really feels like I'm at a hockey game.. then, SMACK things happen that make me shut off the game. It's a love and hate relationship for me.

That's the worst part. Even when 2K wasn't really producing great games, the competition was still there, and EA had to at least humor the idea of competition. It honestly feels like the NHL series has gotten more focused on money, and less on pleasing all of the fans since the 2K series folded.

I'm only 11 games into my BeaGM for like the 4th time after patches, roster updates and what not, but as long as this game doesn't go into beast mode, I'm back to really enjoying this game quite a bit now.

its such a good game when the game speed is normal.

but like you said, its like watching a game in fast forward when beast mode goes into effect. i dont know why ea kept that crap in the game for next gen.

Agree 100%. Had way too many good playing games ruined by beast mode.

So im new to this nhl thread, but have been a fan of hockey since I was a little kid. The last nhl game I bought was nhl 99. Then I switched to nhl 2k series. I know thats a long time, and I've been hesitant because well its an EA game and they haven't well lately been about a sim experience. So could someone tell me is this franchise worth getting back into? Does it play a good game of hockey? What are the strengths? What are the weaknesses?

You should be able to find a fair amount of impressions, both good and bad. Ultimately some love it, some hate it; there's very little "middle" ground.

That said, if you really haven't played an NHL game in that long, and you're considering this for x1/ps4 and you're a fan of hockey, this is a must buy. The graphics and puck physics (and presentation for that matter; regardless of what us yearly adapters think) will blow you away. Plus there's plenty of slider sets out there to at the very least give you a base to work with to tweak the game to your liking, if not find the perfect balance.

NHL fan, Black Friday deals, being away from NHL game for 10+ years....personally I think you'll enjoy it, man. And certainly get some value out of it. Good luck!

If you want half a game then go for it, or a half *** game go for it.
Your right it's ea and apparently some things never change.

I figured since madden, live, and fifa has their problems. I guess ill give it a try though, there's always the return policy and I can usually figured out if a game is worth it before 30 days are up

# 474 Mrmagoo @ 11/27/14 01:56 PM

What return policy are you referring to?

# 475 Splitter77 @ 12/01/14 09:45 AM

just had a game where beast mode went in my favor.
i was down 4-0 in the 3rd.
game 1 of cup finals. i was boston at home against chicago.
with 11 min left in game i scored that cheesey goal thsat started showiing up this year. the one where your player screening the goalie stops a slapshot and then wwheels it into the vacant net .
then the game stsrts playing like game speed 100.
i score 20 seconds later. then another minute later i score again.
then another mminute later i bull down the wing and try centrr the puck backhand in the slot, but instead it whips it over 3 sticks across to soderberg on the far wing. he bullet one times it top shelf.ha.

it was the least satisfying 4 goal comeback ever.
the game then calmed down. the remaining 7 min were good. ot was great. i ended up scoring a legit greasy goal to win it like 15 min into ot

WOW!!!! My little brother had this game for thanksgiving weekend. AND WOW!!! I haven't played NHL in a long time!! But this new one...... I played my brother. And was beating him 4-0 in the second period. He came back to tie the game in the fourth. Went to OT then shootouts. For some reason my brother doesn't know how to score on shoot outs lol. But I figured it out in about 3 or 4 shots. Then BAM easy deke from left to right...

I went out and got the game next day. NHL got me back lol

Bought the game yesterday for $38 Canadian. It made me play rangers vs. kings when I started it up and I got my butt kicked so for the hell of it I put replaced quick with jones near the end of the game and noticed it still has the same bug that's been in the game for a few years now. Its not a game changing bug or anything but when you switch goalies the announcer always gets it backwards. For example he said martin jones replaced by Jonathan quick when I did the switch when its the other way around. Figured they at least might have fixed that in the next gen game but guess I was wrong.

Other than that I'm looking forward to playing more of the game tonight and tomorrow. I don't think I could go back to the game on 360 now.

# 478 CanuckJ @ 12/01/14 11:46 PM

How do I edit existing players gear? Like if I wanted to change millers or lacks mask? How do I change the jersey numbers for the players on my team? Active rosters weren't available when I was playing do the active rosters have something to do with it?

I finally got my first video review since I bought the game at launch. Goal was waved off for being kicked in but was allowed after the video replay. With never seeing a video replay I thought for sure it was taken out as I never had one happen until today & I've played alot of games.

I'm like 30 games in and have seen about 5-6 so far.
