NHL 15 Might Be Missing More Than We Anticipated (XB1/PS4)

[CubFan23]

Glad I didn't pre order. Still have Diablo 3, madden, the show and Destiny to keep me busy. Oh well, another year with no NHL game

This game should have a new name.......... EA NHL HUT 15.

Even when it comes to Ultimate Team, NHL 15 is pretty limited.

Madden, FIFA, and even NBA Live all offer way more Ultimate Team features like challenges, tournaments, offline seasons, etc.

Online seasons and CPU exhibition games are the only HUT options in NHL 15 Early Access.

At least Destiny comes out on the same day. :/

Wait, you can't edit individual players? Like, equipment or ratings??? Wtf??!!

"No way to edit individual players"

Longest piss in the wind. Ever.

[StraightEdge]

And there's no stats for minor leaguers either? What a disaster

EA you fudged up. You fudged up real bad. You know I was really excited about BAP and BAGM but after seeing this sorry excuse for two game modes I am through the wall. I'm an offline guy so and these two modes are all I play. What a sham. Somebody should be fired *cough* Rammer *cough*. Part of the Be A Pro experience is playing at all the different levels. I enjoyed working my way up from the CHL to the draft to the AHL and eventually into the NHL. I can't even do that now. Just takes all the fun out of the game mode. Consumers are really getting mega ripped off this year unless there's some serious patches to be made down the line. This game is totally stripped of anything that made it worthwhile and for what? So people can blow money on HUT. That's all EA cares about. I'm done with this franchise until they take their work seriously (HA! right).

No Winter Classic
No tournaments or Battle for the Cup
No create-a-team
No way to edit individual players
Practice mode is now limited to one skater vs. an AI goalie

These all bother me. The rest of the stuff I could care less about.

But other people DO care about them, and having that many things missing from the game sucks.

And they are still charging full price. What a complete joke. If anybody still plans on getting NHL 15, try to get a used copy.

Just to clarify, the old generation systems will have all of these features available, but not the new generation systems?

Yeah thats correct. Last gen should be full featured but current gen has been stripped to its bones with features.

We don't know much about the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 version of NHL 15 yet. So it's still a mystery as to what it will contain. I would assume that it will be keeping most of what was in NHL 14, but that's just a guess. We do know that the new commentators are in, as is the 12-man collision system.

We will be doing separate reviews for Xbox 360 NHL 15 and Xbox One NHL 15.

Hello FIFA 15. Guess you're the only one I can still count on.

I am a die-hard puckhead, and it sounds like I will go YET another season w/o an EA NHL series purchase. May mean nothing to you, but says everything to me.

The cynic in me thinks we may be in the midst of an ol' "take-out-to-put-back-in" cycle. But EA has no track record of ever doing that, right? Naaah ...
