    NHL 15: E3 Trailer and Details - Release Date Set For September 9th

    EA Sports has published the NHL 15 E3 Trailer a bit early on their site and it looks wonderful. This is our first look at the new-generation console gameplay in action and there is a lot to like about the trailer.

    “This is the start of a new era for the award-winning NHL videogame franchise,” Dean Richards, General Manager, EA SPORTS NHL. “New technology gives us the freedom and horsepower to change almost every part of the game. From the way players look and move on the ice, to the unrivaled electricity of the in-arena experience, to the sights and sounds of an all new broadcast team, NHL 15 brings the game we love to life in ways that were never possible before.”

    n NHL 15, fans will see the most realistic looking and skating hockey players ever in a videogame, along with most detailed and authentic representation of the game of hockey itself. 12 Player NHL Collision Physics and Real Puck Physics capture the hard hitting chaos and unpredictability of the sport. Gamers can look, move, play and think like a real hockey player with all new authentic player modelling and an evolved arsenal of tools, including the Superstar Skill Stick and Vision AI that allow for an unprecedented level of control and elevated player intelligence.

    Witness the sights and sounds of authentic arenas across the National Hockey League, as 9,000 individual crowd models, the most ever in a sports videogame, hang on every play called by an all-new commentary team of Mike ‘Doc’ Emrick and Eddie Olczyk from NBC Sports. TSN analyst Ray Ferraro will provide insights at ice level. In addition, a new partnership with NBC Sports brings a world class broadcast package to the game.

    NHL 15 is set to arrive on store shelves for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One on September 9th.

    Check the trailer out above and let us know what you think and what you find!

    While the graphics look much improved, let's hope the gameplay and AI are also much improved or it's another year without video game hockey

      gameplay trailer apparently means slowed down celebrations (and only saw one celebration with more than 1 person) and shots of players. Lame.

        Long time lurker here. Created an account just to say that it looks like from a presentation/atmosphere standpoint, they are really nailing it so far. That trailer gave me goosebumps. Here's hoping that it translates to the final product and brings some nice gameplay/AI improvements with it!

            The commentator says: There will be a penalty.

            That's OK for me

              Gameplay trailer apparently means "sizzle trailer" with zero substance. Not that I'm at all surprised. We likely won't see actual gameplay unless someone at E3 releases shaky cam footage.

                  I wonder if that commentary was taken from past TV broadcasts or from NHL 15?

                  Sounds great, either way. Mike Emrick's the man.

                      Actual real life game commentary most likely. I will be shocked if that level of commentary transfers over to the game itself. Hope to be proven wrong however.

                        Wonder why they still haven't added long hair on any of the players?

                          I thought it looks promising. Although, I can't help to feel that when I check back in the evening on this thread, it will be torn apart for player movements, shooting animations, and goalie animations being similar to 360/PS3 version. Also, faces won't be as detailed as many may want, or the jerseys don't fit right, etc.

                          I think many will expect more from NHL since they had a longer than normal development cycle by skipping next-gen last year. Personally, what I saw so far is what I expected. Should be the best NHL game to date.

                            Don't get bwiggy started on goalie animations, you're likely right however. Personally even though it's just a sizzle teaser trailer more than anything, The players look great, the arenas look great. Jury is still out on AI improvements, AI Vision sounds an awful lot like HockeyIQ and we all know how that turned out. For me I need to see actual 5 on 5 gameplay on superstar before judging the AI. Still buying however, I need a hockey game to play on my PS4.

                              Same here because I cant get stuck in an NHL 14 game without the puck jumping like a pogo stick after a dump in. I swear one time it went back over the goalie into the slot for a goal. Bring on the next gen version.
