NHL 15 Excitement Level

Posted 08-27-2014 at 07:31 PM by dukebeatsuncagain

Has diminished greatly.

To me, after playing the demo extensively, the gameplay seems so so similar to 14. The presentation is great, but for me, 2 months into the game I will be skipping scenes and turning off the commentary. I always do. No matter how good it is, I just don't care when the initial shine wears of. And after that initial glow, it all comes down to gameplay.

Graphics are obviously better, but I don't know if it is enough for me.

This year I am getting all my games through GameFly, trying something different. They already shipped me Madden 15 on release day, should be here tomorrow, but when NHL comes out in 2 weeks I will either have to send back Madden 15 or MLB 14. I just don;t know if in 2 weeks I will be ready to let go of one of those great all around games for a stripped down NHL game with a fresh coat of paint.

I will still get NHL 15, but before the demo this was a run out and buy/get from GameFly NO MATTER WHAT, to "Eh, I'll wait it out."
Waiting for 15 I have been ignoring 14 and haven't played it for real in a month or so, so now I think it might be time to get back on the ice and reboot at least one more run at the Cup with the Pittsburgh Penguins. RW Player Lock, All-Star/Hardcore Sim.

[B]-This game was close the whole way though. The Cavs almost let it slip away in the final 20 seconds as Dion Waited dribbled the ball off his foot, and Kevin Love gave the T'Wolves a one point lead with 6 seconds left to go. After a time out, Irving tapped into his clutch gene and knocked down a runner to close out the game as time expired. Cavs start the season (1-0), next they take on Anthony Davis and the New Orleans Pelicans (0-1) at home in Cleveland.[/B]

[B]Introduction:[/B] After playing NBA2k14 for PS4 into the ground, I am taking my talents to NBA Live 14 on Gen4 until the release of the 2015 games. While this game is far from a polished product, I just want to try playing a different basketball engine.

Recently, after frustrations trying to replicate a 'realistic simulation experience in my sports games, I have just decided to run my games at default values. These games it isn;t possible to get a Sim experience of my liking, so instead of beating my head against a dead horse, I'm just going to play games for what they are and have fun. *In other games, if there is a "Simulation Game Style Option", I will use those settings along with the other default settings.

[B]Settings:[/B]

- 29 Game Season
- 5 Minute Quarters/12 Minute Simulated

[B][CENTER]Let's get it going![/CENTER][/B]
