Re: NHL 15 Post-Launch Content Update

Sooooo what this tells me is yes, they're committed to bringing us a full featured game. It also tells me that they're releasing an unfinished product for $60.

In addition to what you mentioned, this tells me that they are desperately trying to save face less than 2 days before release and will say anything at this point. I appreciate the 15 minutes that was spent here, but still lots of legit questions without answers and side-stepping/cherry picking. I guess the side-stepping could really only tell me one thing. It's really hard for me to act like everything is cool now because the truth is, it's not. Lots of fractured customer relationships here and even more come tuesday to those who don't follow online gaming communities.

I think people had to be patient it was a new console and completely new for the developers and working with xbox1 vs xbox 360 is not the same but I have one idea is playing a season with all 30 teams cause I likec playing a season with ALL 30 teams as well are the arenas going to be fixed with the correct player benches and if banners are on wrong side fixed where they should go and have the linesman seperate the skaters and take them to box and as well players come out there respective sides for example the vistors come thru the zamboni entrance at Rexall Place and for next year should have maybe the sections in crowd like rexall they have the disability sections on the corners of the building in between the lower bowl and 2nd bowl so there's is people with wheelchairs and electric wheelchairs. I can be emailed anytime at nhlnut74@gmail come

The fact that 3-star selections is even considered as things we should get excited about just shows you how much this product should never hit the shelves.

Re: NHL 15 Post-Launch Content Update

Is there any chance of the game being patched to 1080p native on either console?

I notice your name from the EA NHL forums, got banned over there 3 times yesterday for no reason really and yes I couldn't agree more.

Re: NHL 15 Post-Launch Content Update

I like that they are finally giving us some feedback as to what is going on (even if took them months to finally say something). But is anyone else completely underwhelmed by this list? 3 stars, seriously? Where are the AHL stats? Coach feedback? How about the option to sim to your line? Have to wait till October just so we can start an actual Be a GM, yet no mention if there is any fix to the broken AI draft logic that is in the game. If the priorities in this game are 3 stars and a gimmick playoff mode rather than fixing the much more popular Be A GM they have a long way to go before they earn my money.

I find it hilarious that it was said that Rammer wouldn't be doing any Q&A's till after release and here he is cherry picking questions to his liking and hoping to bring back customers.

I thought the CPU auto drafts for you anyway. If that's the case, who the hell cares how much time you have to make a draft pick?

These updates do nothing to improve Be A GM, or really anything that we've been asking for. Let us edit players' ratings and equipment or I personally won't be buying it. Simple as that.

GM Draft
For the first time in the NHL franchise, you will be put on the clock and feel the pressure like real NHL GM’s. You will now only have 3 minutes to make a draft pick. If the pressure is too much, you can also call timeouts to extend the amount of time you have to make a draft pick or potentially negotiate a trade. You can make trades at any time during the draft. The CPU will also propose trades to each other and the user

What a joke, draft was a long time in nhl franchise

Best post

I hope only that we have not to wait 8 years to get all the last gen features

Re: NHL 15 Post-Launch Content Update

Thanks for the note.
Edit player is important and something that you will see back in the game.
At this point i can't commit to a timeframe.

-rammer

Does that mean we'll see it in this year's game or next year's? Saying we'll see it back in the game is incredibly vague.

Re: NHL 15 Post-Launch Content Update

Rammer,

Thanks for taking time to come on here and answer some questions. I think it says a lot about you and the team at EA. There's a lot of people that are extremely angry at the missing features in NHL 15 and while I'm not happy about some of them, I truly believe that you guys have done everything in your power to bring us the best hockey game you can. I'm not a programmer so I cannot begin to understand the intricacies of making a game, especially an annualized game on a new platform, but I'm sure it's complicated.

It's easy for us, as gamers, to sit back and complain about missing features but I'm sure that it was at all possible you guys would have pushed out a fully featured game with NHL 15. Unfortunately, this is the way it goes for sports games on new consoles it seems. Except for MLB The Show, which is a port just with higher resolution player models and "completely rebuilt stadiums" that look exactly the same from the Playstation 3, minus better resolution.

I'm somewhat disappointed at some of the missing features, but I'm still eager to play the game. I've bought and played every EA hockey game since NHLPA 93 on the Sega Genesis and I'm very much so looking forward to playing NHL 15 on the Playstation 4 on Tuesday.

Lastly, I think that some of you guys that are completely bashing EA and calling them money-hungry are a bit misguided. Sure it's a corporation that is out to make a profit but if anyone thinks that they want to put out a cheap product and charge as much as possible for it, you're wrong. And for the people that are taking shots at Rammer himself, really? I'm sure he's paid a handsome salary for what he does but I guarantee he wants to make the best hockey game possible, as does everyone on their team. In the end I'm going to guess Rammer cares a lot more about how good the game is as opposed to how much money EA Sports makes.

Keep doing your thing Rammer, and thanks for stopping by.

Re: NHL 15 Post-Launch Content Update

On a serious note why are you not answering this guy? Seems like you only take softball questions and ignore anything with real substance. It's sad to see you dance through this kinda thing. You want people to believe you are working hard but then you only have a half of a game if that to show. You don't even try to make it better it seems. Just man up and get into the tough questions and get to work on making it right. You know that if you can't do what you're supposed to do what happens. The #FIRERAMMER is around for a reason, it's because you release half-assed games then hide. I'd bet you wouldn't respond to this either. Tip toe tip toe

I am not surprised that they wouldn't answer that but I am sure that sales are going to suffer a lot this year because of this crap any way.

Re: NHL 15 Post-Launch Content Update

What about that new Stanley Cup celebration? Whatever happened with that?
