This has been a problem ever since. Its like super easy to enter the zones....I just dump the puck just for the sake of dumping it.....because if not, i will not see this because of lack of pressure in the NZ.

Yep.

I was playing NHL a decade ago before I started watching games. The thing that shocked me about real NHL was the amount of play in the NZ and how ioften teams dumped and chased.

While I agree that the videos have not shown us doc and his excited 'scores', it still sounds more intense than some of you are stating. Gary Thorne in the previous years always had his excited call under a minute so I am assuming we will hear the the cracking voice by doc when the play permits.

Not impressed, this looks ALOT like 14 re skinned. The defensive awareness is atrocious, they still have no idea how to set the priorities for defensemen off the rush. I understand this was 2 humans playing, but you can see the gaffs in the one that the human is not controlling. In the past difficulty level has never effected this. This game will be a bust offline in the long term.

Looks great. I think some work has been done on the way the players transition their skating, or maybe it's just the new player models. The dekes looks improved and believable.

I've never been a big commentary guy, they sounded fine. I liked it when Ferraro interjected. I suspect the speed and chaotic context of hockey makes it a lot harder to program smooth believable commentary compared to the linearity of football, or the simplicity of basketball.

Gameplay has me optimistic. It looks like tweaked NHL 14, which is a good thing, no need to throw the baby out with the bath water.

Seeing the guys trip over each other was pretty cool.

I didn't really notice the new puck physics, but i wasn't really watching either

There's not a lot of it because the people playing decided to hit everything, but the chop on the Washington goal was nice because it didn't go through the player like in previous years. The dump in didn't bounce over the boards. It's hard to tell puck physics when the guys playing don't have a poke check button.

If this is the base they are working off of for the remainder of next gen we are all in for a treat.

Presentation looks insane!

My only gripe is the 2 man celebrations... Wish we got the group hug this year.

Too wide open, where's the defense? Everything is a fast break, where are the adjustments? Defensive traps? Zone defense? I guess the audience EA is going for is pre teens once again, I was looking forward to this game but I'm passing for the 2nd yr in a row. I bought all NHL EA tittles from 1994-2013. Core gameplay hasn't been touch since 2005 what a joke!

Re: NHL 15 Gameplay Videos Show Off All-New Camera Angles

to follow-up on my post (page # 7), i think this series needs a new set up of eyes from the devs side. They're being lazy because the game sells well so they figure nothing really needs to be changed. Here's the problem: IT'S THE ONLY NHL GAME AVAILABLE FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS.
2K sports has to resurface somehow, I am sure they'll get it right. NHL 2K6-2K8 were fantastic games.

I agree. If you look at all that footage, the goals scored I believe were never in the 3rd period when I guess Doc's"excitement" may kick in. I thought it wasn't so good the first couple of times I listened, but when you look at the time of the goals etc its not the worst.

And as you said, Gary did have his signature "SCORRESS!" with a minute to go in the 3rd period if you scored to tie it up or go ahead, but who knows. They did supposedly record different scenarios and levels of excitement which may trigger in for 3rd period situations. Time will tell!

Day one purchase. Presentation and visuals are true next gen....gameplay for me has always been a blast since NHL 09 but 13 took it to another level for me and my guess is the true 12 man physics and ice and puck physics are going to be incredible.

Love what I see!

Wish Madden looked this good.

What? The Caps scored with .1 seconds left on the clock and Doc goes:

score

Re: NHL 15 Gameplay Videos Show Off All-New Camera Angles

Presentation looks great...and sorry if this has been asked before but is every single game in Be A GM going to be using the NBC/NBCSN broadcast or only some of them? I feel like if it is every game it could kill some of the immersion in the mode, especially as a Devils fan, since they only play on those channels maybe a couple times per season.

Even as a huge Doc fan I have to say that the commentary sounds terrible. He NEVER sounds like that when he calls a game.

Re: NHL 15 Gameplay Videos Show Off All-New Camera Angles

I always thought NHL had really good commentary, probably second best behind 2k but the commentary in these videos is stilted and lacking. I'm also not a big fan of the real video commentators in the intro either. The gameplay looks alright, certainly nothing new there, although it seems a lot easier to handle the puck down low. I already have it preordered and can't wait to play some hockey, but as a title that I explected a lot out of this doesn't paticularly impress me.
