Ask Me Anything: Sean Ramjagsingh, NHL 15 Producer

[IG 88]

One last one (I swear!)...

Was there any thought given to delaying the game to try to get EASHL, etc in? EA recently announced games that weren't ready wouldn't get released until they were...I know I'd gladly wait a few weeks if it meant a chance at getting back into EASHL with all my friends.

Sean,

What exactly will OTP include? Will it be playing as just the pros without a custom player to progress with?

[Sauce12]

Will we see more penalties in Be a GM than in the last years?

OTP is the foundation of the EASHL.
Our current focus is to get OTP in as part of an update then work with the community to build the new EASHL.

We'll be working through the details over the next little bit to ensure that we select/create a solid committee.

Sean,

Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions. I'd like to just bump and second this question above in the quote from Simple Mathematics. Thanks again for your hard work.

I am wondering if your team has ever considered moving to a rating system similar to what the "revamped" team has done here at OS? Again, thanks for hard work, and for making yourself available after making such a difficult announcement.

Thanks for the note...I'm not familiar with it however I'll have the team look into it.

As a community member your focus on broadcast immersion, captivation, and creative drive truly makes this an amazing gaming experience each year. As a fan since NHL 2001 and an annual buyer since NHL 06, this series is truly my favorite. Here are just a few questions I have.. Will Mike Emrick's goal calls showcase his trademark excitement we see on TV and what will presentation bring us as fans? Is the ability for custom music in the game or can it be patched in when Sony gives music a go on ps4? As a weekly viewer of NBC game of the week and someone who is amazed by the immersion factor, is the true broadcast camera still in the game? Thank you so much for all you do for fans of the series and hockey fans as a whole.

Doc Emrick was fantastic in studio and you'll definitely hear his trademark excitement.

Custom music is currently not in the game.

True Broadcast is available.

Thanks for taking the time to ask these questions.
Sean
