Does anyone know of any youtube channels with players who actually utilize the tools that they give you in game? I feel like nobody uses any of the advanced skating cuts or anything.

Everyone I watch does the same boring garbage every time, skate to the corner and either whip a one timer out front, or cut across the crease for a whip wrister far side. How is that even fun? You literally might as well just be playing NHL 94 with buttons. Is there anyone who actually uses the superstar skill stick? I want to see people setting up plays and stuff, and utilizing dekes. I swear I'm the only one who does this.

Probably been mentioned, but the team ratings are laughable. Teams are rated offense, defense, and goalie. Of all the ratings, 85 is the lowest number, Buffalo and Nashville's offense. 94 is the highest, NY Rangers goalie. I know there's parity in the NHL, but this is ridiculous.


EDIT: as I try to play a ranked quick match it frequently says "failed to retrieve data, please try again". Took 5 tries to actually get into a game. And I lost my connection.


Also, the announcers don't talk during the online game, I have the volume settings all the way up for this. They only talk if I'm offline.

Either you don't know how to properly search Youtube or...people aren't as good as you are at this game. Hmmm, I wonder which it is.

That's just pathetic if it's true. I honestly hope sales tank big time and EA Sports loses money on this years game. Fire everyone responsible for this garbage and hopefully some other new company steps in and takes over, EA Sports has completely ruined NHL Video Games.

That is the final blow for me then. There is a workaround I found in the demo for strategies though. You just move a second controller to the CPU team and adjust the strategies from there. Then when you start the game move that controller off the CPU team and the strategies should stick providing you have the CPU strategy adjustment slider set to 0. However, it still won't work for Be A GM since you can only control the User team. Without season mode, playoffs, and tournament, then it's virtually useless unless you want to play, play now games.

Thank you for sharing this information. I can officially say I'm not buying this game now. I'm honestly considering the game for 360 or ps3 though. If the stick handling and arenas are in the 360/ps3 version I may just buy it. I'm thinking if I get it I will put Shogun's goalie and player edits in the game and hopefully it will be the same experience he has been having on NHL 14. The only thing is, at this point I don't want to give them money for this series at all.

NHL 15 is just NHL 10-14, man. Keep your money and play the older ones.

Because EA has the game setup for that crap to work. You could waste your time like we do trying all these pretty plays and hard work setting up in the zone stuff, but why bother when you can gain the zone every single time and then dangle, snipe, celly, bro? Ha, there is no incentive to play hockey with this game. None. It doesn't reward it if you do and it certainly won't do it back to you in return.

I completely with you, what I start thinking is EA going to be ruined real NHL image and marketing? Should a well maded videogame attract fan around the world? and instead a garbage-game could losing attraction to the real National Hockey League?

It's impossibile to do something as hockey gamers and hockey fan with Official National Hockey League? as do not sell anymore license at that company? Maybe Ea not listen the customers but for sure it listen the NHL

So they passed on next-gen release day, but still managed to make a game look like a release day port, but worse.

Re: NHL 15 Available Now For EA Access Subscribers, Post Your Impressions

The game is advertised here in Australia for about $90 for next gen and is only $10 cheaper for old gen. This game is just not worth that. Really disgusting pricing.

I agree with those who say this game really doesn't bring anything new or worthy of a purchase. The thing is NHL never goes on sale here. I can't justify this price for the product. Will go with Destiny next week instead.

Re: NHL 15 Available Now For EA Access Subscribers, Post Your Impressions

This was crazy. Start of the 3rd period. I win the face off and Paciorety comes in at center ice and flings it back to Price who puts his pad flat on the ice but the puck magically goes through it and into the goal. The picture shows his pad flat down and the puck starting to go through it like it isn't even there.
