Re: NHL 15 Post-Launch Content Update

I didn't know that we couldn't draft in Be A GM mode before.

lmfao.

Re: NHL 15 Post-Launch Content Update

@Rammer - Will the Be a GM patch apply to existing GM career saves or will we need to restart in order to benefit from the Live Draft update?

Also, how frequent will roster updates be? Particularly for CHL players.

I don't want to invest two months into a GM career just to need to restart..

I'm going to keep hammering this.. since I play all my games, I don't mind that it will be patched in later.. but if I have to start over again, I'm not going to be happy. I'm hoping it will just show up after it's patched in your BeaGM career, but we need word from Rammer on this.

Guys, the only solution here is vote with our wallets.

I refuse to pay full price for 1/3 the game and it's offensive they are even trying to pull that off.

The proper EA response to this should have been to announce a one year only mea culpa and lowered the price to $29-39 as a goodwill gesture.

It's just really good to know that including selfie-taking fans and popcorn vendors were "higher priorities" than edit player and adjusting sliders.

This is the only information I need if I'm going to make my purchase at midnight tonight alongside picking up Destiny.

If Edit Player somehow finds its way into the game as well, I'd be pretty happy. 3 red stars for William Nylander? I think not..

Any news if "couch co-op" Online VS will be patched in?

Re: NHL 15 Post-Launch Content Update

If I can add my list to your list: in BaGM

1. More variation between teams - all teams play the same
2. Player variation - all players play the same.....I need to see big difference between L1 playrs from L4 players.
3. Neutral Zone defense.......Neutral Zone defense............Neutral Zone defense....Neutral Zone defense......Neutral Zone defense............Neutral Zone defense
4. Penalties....Penalties....Penalties....Penalties.. ..Penalties....Penalties....Penalties....Penalties ....Penalties....

Are these going to be included as well?

No the solution is totally not buy this product even at $30. Let EA suffer the consequence of their negligence. Let EA know that consumers still has the power and edge in this gaming enviorment. Remember MS was forcing gamers to pay X1 with cam resulting to a higher price as compared to PS4, DRM games etc. When they heard all the objections, they changed their approach.

Let us show EA who is the SOURCE OF THEIR INCOME and SUCCESS....US CONSUMERS. Don't buy product that is incomplete and companies relying on Patches/Tuner to put the features that are supposed to be there right out of the box. Don't buy product where producers when being asked keep dodging the meaty questions and refuse to answer to pertinent questions.

Re: NHL 15 Post-Launch Content Update

now when they say 3 stars are back, are the players would be coming out at the end of the game like real life, or we just gonna have a pic with the 3 stars on our screen. i doubt it that we would have the real life stars lol. just another reason for them to increase sales.

Re: NHL 15 Post-Launch Content Update

In addition to player editing, the option to change jersey numbers/captains was also left out, if I understand correctly.. That's disappointing.

Sean, any chance it might be patched in at some point?

Guess I just disagree with this statement.

There *is* a new game here, it's just missing a ton of stuff.

I just feel that adjusting the price this year to reflect that would have been the correct move PR wise.

[ChubbyBanana]

Look at that - A Company listening to people and trying to make something right/better.

Never thought I'd see all of these updates for NHL 15. Still a lot missing, but much better than the initial launch.

One way to get this game without them profiting from you is craigslist. That's the route im taking.

Re: NHL 15 Post-Launch Content Update

Rammer, long time EA NHL fan and as a hockey player I love the attempts by you guys to get as real an NHL game as you can on a console.

That said, I loved the NHL gamecenter type look with the sim engine to allow you to sim period by period. Is that something you are hopefully looking to bring back...? It was great to be able to sim a game and still know what all happened gameplay wise as opposed to a normal sim where you just get the score. It really helped to add to the depth in Be a GM and I would love to see it back. Any potential info on that?

Damn, wait, this is gone from Be a GM too? So you can't jump into games?

From the EA Forums....



Q: I know there’s not going to be a next-generation version of NHL 14 this year. Was there a reason for this? Was there not enough lead time up to when your studio got the final build of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4? Or did you want to just make sure you had a better quality product to put out the following year?

"Sean Ramjagsingh: We wanted to be focused on putting out the best game for this console generation. It’s fantastic that we focused all of our efforts on PS3 and 360. The great thing about EA Sports right now is the sharing that we’re doing. The UFC and FIFA franchises; those guys are figuring out how to develop for next-generation consoles and the technological challenges that come with developing for new consoles.

So they have to figure that part out and then build features on top of that. For us, since we’re coming in later on, we won’t have to battle all those technological issues because they’ve figured them out already. This lets us focus more on the features which is something fans can appreciate…"

Playoffs??? Playoffs??
