No, was always there. Gives the cpu special advantages relative to base player stats ie 90 rated goalie on superstar with cpu difficulty maxed out plays like a perfect robot.

I'm on Ps4, I have a question about graphics.
The game is native 1080p???

Game looks nice but is not that crisp like Fifa, fir example.

Look a little ''washed'', on the description of the demo i found ''720p Hd'' and not 1080p.

Any comment?

Slightly better graphics... Same gameplay. Same legacy issues.

yeah Bwiggy, in the video I‘m seeing a quite a bit more aggressive ai defense. Very happy to see that!

Definitely more aggressive for sure and the play is more "sloppy" at times, especially when the star lines are not on the ice. I do notice a difference in players.

Well pro is too easy, first game I won 8-0, time to try all star. Menus are simpler, presentation looks sharp, but the game is 100% nhl 14, very disappointing. Canceling my pre order and will buy it for like $20 on amazon/ebay in the future.

Havent played it so can't judge but... interesting. Even though PSN is playing safely with the resolution due to Killzone. I found an interview with Rammer:

What resolution and framerate will the game be on Xbox One? On PlayStation4?

- Both consoles will run at 60 FPS.

So no word on the resolution but everything under 1080p would be embarassing.

edit: FIFA and BF4 both have these:

PAL HD 720p,1080i,1080p

And BF4 is running in 900p upscaled.

I will take a look at it later.

Re: NHL 15 Demo Available Now on Xbox One, Post Your Impressions

With people saying the stick handling isn't as good has me super excited. Maybe George Parros won't be deking me out of my jock this year. And even though guys like Crosby can deke great, they don't do it very much during an actual, real life game. I'm excited.

Yeah, I'm very curious to see & feel it for myself now. Last gen had far too much freedom with the puck, especially holding it far away from the body. While unresponsive isn't good, more restrictive isn't necessarily bad in my eyes. Well, yet at least.

And "stiffer" skating sounds good as well. To me, the skating has always been too loose. I thought it took a step back in 14 after the new skating mechanics were introduced in 13.

The CPU are taking the same shots again and again, trying to set up right in front of the net, tic, tac, toe passing for the shot. Not much variety at all. No one timers from the point, absolutely no cycling. The go hard for the same thing over and over, it is like playing online versus.

ON another note, about to try the demo on the PS4.

Re: NHL 15 Demo Available Now on Xbox One, Post Your Impressions

Based on the videos I've seen it surely gives an impression that CPU is dumb and useless as usual in front of the own net. This is one of the biggest problems with this series. Can anyone confirm this?

Re: NHL 15 Demo Available Now on Xbox One, Post Your Impressions

can you tell if create team is still in the game?
doesnt look like gameplay improved enough for me to buy it.

unless theyvadded a bunch of new stuff to gm mode. but from what we have read its the same.
saved me $400 at least

This is... fantastic

Re: NHL 15 Demo Available Now on Xbox One, Post Your Impressions

5 games on the PS4 and i like the feel of the game better on that system however after 5 games I tallied 65 shots for 1 goal. The CPU 21 shots for 5. In one scenario I had the goalie out of the crease, Kopitar was almost on the goal line shot it and out of nowhere the goalie was back on the goal line deflecting the shot???

CPU only shoots right in front of the net and goes into mad mode at times. I my last game where I finally scored I had 7 shots to 1 and that 1 shot of course was a goal on the powerplay set up right in front in the slot.

I have had one PP in all 20 periods of play. Penalties are non existent again.

On XONE I can score frequently on PS4 I cannot get a biscuit. Tried everything and it was actually really fun but there is no way without sliders help could i play like it is. Goalie is unrealistic.

So far PS4 is better experience than the One except for the goalie. Skating and movement feels smoother to me, more intuitive feel through the controller. The XONE feels a bit clunky in comparison.
