Anyone know when EA's servers were "shut off" for NHL 13 last year? Just curious to see how long they allowed people to play NHL 13 online once NHL 14 launched...

I'm pretty sure the servers for NHL 12 are still active.

If you want to play EASHL and EA is only offering it on the XBOX 360, then why NOT play it? Why not continuing to enjoy EASHL just because it's not on the next gen systems? I understand the disappointment and/or anger about it, but are you gonna allow that to prevent you from NOT enjoy something?

Some of us traded in our last gen consoles

Even the people who did hold onto to their Xbox 360s may have switched over to PS4 and might no longer have an Xbox Live Gold subscription, which is required to play EASHL and GM Connected.

For me, buying NHL 15 on the 360 as opposed to the X1 is, to me, giving EA money, which is something I don't want to do, considering my displeasure in (theoretically) removing EASHL and GM connected. I'm sure my money means nothing to them, but it means something to me.

You just have to hope the majority is like us. I'm not giving them 60 bucks for NHL 14 2.0 because they made a mistake developing on next gen.


If there is no eashl, which I'm sure there is not at this point I'll pick up NHL 15 on amazon for half price in 4 months.

As someone who never played EASHL, it sucks that its out for those who played it. I love these Achievements/Trophies this year because not 90% are for online only. The worst style of Achievements are online ones.

Will you be buying it? I'm curious because you seem to have sorted out what is wrong with the game...so if even you are buying it, there is no chance it flops.

I'm usually a sure fire purchaser of the game. I've bought multiple copies in years past so that friends can play. I've bought this game and/or received it for free from EA every year since the first year it came out on Sega Genesis.

I can honestly say, it's going to come down to the demo and early access to decide. If the mode I play the most isn't in I just don't think I'll enjoy it much, personally. The AI isn't good enough for me to stay interested in playing and handicapping myself to get a sim result, historically speaking.

So to have a fan of the sport and video game, like myself, wavering on a decision this late in the process should speak volumes as to where the state of this game is at currently. It's not good right now. I can say that.

Nhl is a niche sport, it can certainly be underwhelming and not make a profit for EA (although i doubt why they wouldnt be able to profit seeing as how barebones the game looks. they probably just need to sell a couple thousand to break even.)
We must hope for this so that ea either mandates their devs to patch in eashl and gm connected for this year or they cut the price quickly to reflect the value that their game presents in its current cut down state.

Five titles. It debuted in NHL 09.

Actually six

For the record, if the game is not fully featured from the onset I believe there is a near 100% that the missing modes cannot be patched into the game.

EA patched in UT to FIFA when it first came out

I'm a hockey fan, you expect me to count past five?

On the other hand patching to something like Ultimate Team adds a major lot of micro-transactions to the game while GM Connected and/or EASHL does not (unless everybody buys 15 pair of skates/gloves/stick/helmet for their EASHL players). I don't want to be negative, just that the payback would not be the same to them to work to add a game mode at a later date than it was with fifa ultimate team.

Ok, but I still stand behind my belief in what I said.

Well I would hope they are adding EASHL and GM connected for NHL 16 no? Its not like we're asking them to add in some brand new mode we have never seen before.
