I enjoyed the demo and was looking forward to the release. After seeing some of these comments, I might change my mind.

Biggest thing for me, did they include the option to customize in-game music (import mp3s etc)? I fear that with the next gen versions that this is going to be left out for some reason. I don't know if its some type of hardware limitation or what.

I see no option for custom music. I know ps4 cant even play mp3s so its a def no for ps4. I dont think xbox one can accomodate that yet either. could be wrong about xbox though. I use my ps4 way more than my xbox 1

What arena's were left out?

Supposedly the only arenas that aren't licensed were Carolina's and Chicago's

Guys hows the commentary? Any better than the demo since its the full version and not limited to 2 min periods? Doc have more excitement?

That was confirmed to be OUT some time ago. With no plans or ability to patch it in this year.

Thank you both. Disappointing to say the least. Not sure what Sony is gaining by not allowing mp3s to be played. I always thought customizing the music made the experience so much better. Here is hoping they fix in that in the future!.

I would appreciate it if someone could give a detailed account of the create-a-player option and also how be-a-gm plays. I have heard both are set back several years option wise. I saw a vid on YT that said that you have hardly no customization with be-a-pro and that you don't even get to play in the minors...you automatically start in the bigs.....that is just absolute crap if that is the case.

Sony is gaining $$$ by holding off on including this feature. They have a paid subscription service on the PS4, but you can't even use that in game.



If their wasn't money to be lost in this it would have been done by now, plain and simple.

won my game 3-1 few thoughts.
way to easy to skate around the defender.
I saw about 5 miraculous glove saves in the game.
I also saw a very natural moment where the goalie was on his rear and the puck was bouncing around in between his legs.
I couldnt one time at will.
game looked good. I used authentic puck size. no shadow. true broadcast. had some moments that looked pretty real.
crowd is pretty cool other than there are some butt ugly woman at the game I was playing.

Must've been playing in Boston. I'm installing now. Have to pick up the 4 year old in a few and will have to pray she naps this afternoon or it's going to be a long day. Bright side is my 6 hours will probably not even be used up by Tuesday. Moral of the story is that if you want to play games then don't have kids.

Maybe I'm just trying to be optimistic but us it possible they did not include edit players in the early access to speed up download time. It would seem pointless to include that in something you get for 6 hours. Same could be said about season mode. I know I'm dreaming but it's just overwhelmingly disappointing. It would seem everything and I mean everything I enjoyed about this series is gone. No offline season no total roster control no edit players no custom music no Eashl.....it's like they set out to personally screw ME except I know I'm not alone in feeling this way.

I was thinking the same thing. It's only 6 hours of play, it's not a feature most would spend time on when your time with the game is limited. I really hope this is true. Are we at least seeing many new face scans? We were promised over 300 this year...

Re: NHL 15 Available Now For EA Access Subscribers , Post Your Impressions

EA really confirmed no edit player? That's horrible. Equipment and roster edits are an essential part of my time with the game.

I have a feeling BaGM is going to be a bit of a disaster in this version.

No offline season mode? What's the interest of having CHL and European teams?
