No EASHL, GM Connected, OTP, or Live The Life in NHL 15 on XB1/PS4 (Interview)

Even as an offline (mostly) guy, I'm glad I held off on buying a next-gen console. It's sounds like Be a GM is a work-in-progress and I don't think I'm willing to gamble on future dlc for a mode that needed some attention anyway.

Sounds like, if I'm going to buy that is, I should stay with xbox 360.

Anyone else see it differently, or did I miss something?

Madden doesn't look any better either. I'm about done with EA.

[Retropyro]

Perhaps I'll just wait until the game gets put in the "Vault".

Don't want to get into it since its a hockey but yes it does. 100x better. I'm with you on done with EA. Not buying Fifa, Madden or NHL to make sure they don't get my money. Its gonna be tough but we have to take a stand. I am sad to say I put over $200 into HUT last year, and I will enjoy that money in my pocket this year.

Looks like Rammer is doing another Q&A over at the EA forums and he just stated the GM Connected might never come back...

The future of GM Connected is TBD.
When we look at the data of how many people are actually playing the mode, it is VERY small relative to our other modes.
One of the things that we need to be careful of moving forward is to not spread ourselves too thin.
On G3, we have a lot of modes that get minimal use.
Maintaining these modes year on year (even if we don't add any new features) is very costly and it takes away from us working on other features in the more played modes which is why I say that the future is TBD based on current usage.
When we first put GMC in, it was a highly requested mode from our fans but that hasn't translated into the usage we expected.

This kinda sounds like Madden 06

I couldn't care less about EASHL, HUT or any online games so I'm good to go! As long as I have my season mode all good!
