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

    I could definitely see them doing this because of the servers and of course they would choose hut over this game mode. Which would be awful because this mode is actually unique. I like hut but it's no different than playing a regular game. It's just a money maker.

      HUT is terrible. It has severely stunted the growth of the franchise.

        It used to be OK, but then they maybe AHL/CHL/European players useless unless you play in special tournaments. I used to love playing with a mixture of all different kinds of players. Now there is no need for it. Sure it was a pain in the *** keeping up with contracts and training boosts, but that was part of the strategy. Now once you get to the top levels, guys have the same identical teams. Meanwhile I'm playing against a guy who's 4th line is twice as good as my first line because I refuse to spend real money on virtual cards.

          Lets face it, it's ruining Madden and Fifa as well.

          I was hooked on Fifa UT for the last 2 years. I spent money I normally would on other games but instead I pumped it into Fifa Points. I'm embarrassed that I was fooled by them.
          The FUT game is scripted and there is a handicap. End of Story. I know because I spent a lot of money trying to build my team up. I don't want NHL to go that same route, because Be a Pro is the only mode I play in Fifa now and all I played for 4 yrs on the 360 with NHL.

          If they took out the EASHL this year, I would not buy the game until its back.

            I too will not buy the game without EASHL...probably would buy the xbox 360 version.

            I really don't understand why EA is being silent about it. One way or another, we will find out in a few weeks. No point pissing off customers.

            I am still hopeful that its there. I mean, they put it in FIFA 14 for xbox one and PS4. They also had 2 years to work on the next gen game. I can't imagine the $ lost without EASHL. Forget buying the game...but look at all the Boost packs they sell! I know so many people that would throw down an additional $50 at launch just to open up all of the attribute slots.

            Financially it makes no sense...but the silence is deafening.

            Oh well, I guess we will find out soon enough. Fingers crossed....

                If club is 90% of what you play, like me and my buddies, then this game has become worthless to you pretty much. I have two friends that are specifically buying Xbox One to play club and are now waiting on pulling the trigger. NHL is 75% of their gaming in general and for some of them this is the only mode they touch in that game.

                Are you buying a microwave without knowing if it can defrost if that is what you use it for? Buying a car without knowing if it is front wheel or rear wheel drive, or how many doors on it? Crazy comparisons, but really this is what it is like here.

                If you can name the reasoning to hold off on announcing features for this very game then please fill us in. There is no direct competition. It doesn't appear that there is any competition at all making a hockey game anytime soon. The only reason we can fathom that they are withholding the info at this point is that they have no info and that is because it is not included. Otherwise they would come out and say.

                If they confirm it is not in then sales drop, stock prices perhaps fall a tad, so they stay mum. But speculation will have to suffice until we have definitive word, because often where there is smoke there is fire. And as much as it will be all of our faults for assuming one thing or another it is truly EA at fault for allowing such speculation to run wild while all they had to do was be forthcoming with something that is pretty basic by now in the retail world... feature list for an upcoming product.

                Even the tightest lipped company in the world, Apple, has a major conference and announces all of the features and details of their upcoming product line around a month in advance. And we cannot find out if a game mode is in a annually released video game? We aren't even allowed to see how the game actually plays? That is not good business, sir.
                No just wait a couple weeks until someone with EA Access plays the game on the 4th and confirms everything in or missing from the game. You won't have to spend a dollar if you don't want to.

                  I've already canceled my preorder and moved it to WWE 2K15. At this point, even if EASHL is in the game, I'm not going out of my way to give EA my money. I'd rather go through a second channel like ebay for craigslist at this point. I really feel like we're going to get the Madden 06 treatment with this game - a game with a few modes, beautiful graphics and that's it....

                  And that's the problem. The game will be gorgeous and most "critics" won't have the guts to mention modes taken out, if there are any.

                  EA could easily say "Hey, EASHL is right here" but they're quiet on the subject. Even when people hammered their twitter account with EASHL questions, they didn't respond.

                    I was reading the features for x360/ps3 version and they mention EASHL.. nothing is mentioned on the page for xb1/ps4.

                    At this point I'm not sure "no news is good news".. for those buying for EASHL you might want to hold on to your x360/ps3 if you still have one.

                    Definitely an odd feeling and no news from EA on this mode for next-gen.

                      I would pay $100 for EASHL only mode. Never play the single player or any other modes.

                      If fact, I pretty much paid $100 for last 2 NHL's since I bought a bunch of the unlocks in the first 2 weeks of release. :-0

                      I mean, doesn't everyone love the EASHL? You would think the developers who make the game enjoy it too ... I mean it's the best online sports experience next to Fifa, only it's hockey which makes it the better, no offense to soccer lovers. I love them both but hockey games rule.

                        Yeah me and my buddies have been playing FIFAs version since access launched. NHL is just so much more fun.

                          Maybe they are playing a little mind game with us. Maybe it is in the game but with no improvements or new features hence the no news on it. Now everyone is angry, but when we find out it is in everyone wil be very very happy and forget about the fact its the same old mode as last year. Sorry if this was already mentioned, just my 2 cents and wishfull thinking. Same thoughts on GM connnected.

                            It should be the same mode though. It was near perfect the way it was. I don't want them to change it just to change it. Maybe a few minor tweaks if anything.

                              I'd be fine with that.
                              I'd be fine with this after it is reviewed and proves to work. But I'm not getting the game on release.
