They are revealing everything next week.

If they revealed it to a bunch of whiny forum members, then what would be the purpose of having a set date to release the info? Why would they respong "yes it's in. but we are revealing everything next week'?

Again, if they respond to one rumor, then why not respond to them all?

They are being consistent in not revealing hardly any detail on anything other than their main improvements, which they've talked about since day 1

I know you're trying to be cute, but achievements and game modes are entirely different, rendering your comparison completely inadequate. What kind of company waits until the release date is 3 weeks away to announce game modes? COD could never get away with that lol they announce their modes almost a year in advance so people know what they're buying/pre-ordering

It will be hard to do cause I love NHL, but I will be boycotting not only NHL but all EA products for this season. Our club said maybe we'll get Fifa instead but that doesn't hurt them... NBA Mycrew here we come!

I find it Ironic that your boycott of EA includes playing a last gen 2K game (MyCrew has been confirmed in for last gen, out for next gen.)

I will say I wont be buying an NHL game on release if there is no EASHL. I love the series and know if people don't buy the game the future budget will suffer as will the quality of the game, but I just can't justify spending 60 dollars when there is so much competition out there even among other EA sports games. If there is no EASHL I will most likely be getting FIFA on release instead of black friday like I usually do, solely because of Pro Clubs.

Every year the developer of COD (one of the three at least) releases info on new game modes. But they don't always reiterate that every game mode and feature and gun and perk from previous years is going to be in the new installment.

You don't hear panic every year from 12 year old boys wondering in TDM is going to be in, along with quickscopes of melee attacks.

They also aren't notorious for leaving out features and then adding them back in. Especially when making the jump to their first year with their game on a new generation of consoles. And I don't like COD so don't read into that as my defending their glitchy, cheese filled games.

I understand the point you're trying to make but this is the first NHL game on this generation of consoles, so there is valid reason to confirm whether or not the modes are in there. Surely you can see where I'm coming from with that

No, I do. But EA has remained consistent at all times since the announcement of NHL 15 in that they have only talked about presentation, puck physics, player models, and 12 man contact, blah blah blah. Not one word about game modes.

Now if they talked here and there about HUT, GMConnected, or even BAP, then maybe you have the start of some concern, but like they said, they will reveal all next week. And not a day sooner.

My personal take is that it's in. In this day and age there aren't many reasons to scrap a game mode unless it's getting stale and working on it is just a hassle. That is not EASHL. It's powered by the online community. One that's has the strongest voice it's had in a first installment on a new generation. With all that is possible on the PS4 and X1, I just don't see something like servers being an issue. They already have their experience with Madden and Fifa on next gen from last year. Things will be fine, I'm sure

Did you play NBA 2K14? 2K's server stability (or, more appropriately, the complete LACK of server stability) ruined the game, especially The Park, which was basically unplayable for a majority of the players.

Re: Is EASHL in XB1/PS4 Versions of NHL 15?

Plus NHL is handled by a completely different department than FIFA and Madden and on different servers. MLB The Show Online is nearly unplayable for a lot of people. It does happen. I am not saying this will be the case or cause if we don't get EASHL, but to say that it won't be the/an issue is not exactly a fair assessment.

Re: Is EASHL in XB1/PS4 Versions of NHL 15?

The bottom line is, people spend extra money on the OTP character. If any mode gets cut down, it is going to be GM Connected. Why? because it cost money to run storing the leagues on the servers. And doesn't bring added revenue like HUT and Team Play games do. EA is not a company know for leaving money on the table. The modes they can charge extra for are going to make it in. I don't have a doubt in my mind. The real worry should be about GM connected getting dropped since they have a financial reason to do so. And because 2K has dropped it out of their basketball game. So indirect competitors are no longer offering the mode, giving less of a reason to necessitate it's inclusion. My prediction is Team Play returns with it's club building tool, eashl, and GM connected gets bailed on.

Eh, I'd probably still buy it but doing drop in games and actually communicating with a real team added replay value.
