      So, uh, I didn't buy NHL 14, but I have 13 on my PS3.

      Should I get 14 now? Because not enough has changed in 15 to warrant the extra money.

        Watched game 4 of the Stanley Cup last night and listening to Doc and Edzo in real life totally puts the game version to shame. Doc doesn't sound like Doc in the game. In real life his energy during the call is so fluent. In the game it is stuccato and detached and lacking life. Hopefully in the future we get the big energy he delivers.

          Does the fatigue effect slider actually work on hardcore style? Seem like it only worked on High Impact style last year.

            Custom music works just like last year. You can set it for every team in the game and for specific in-game situations.

            What are all the soundtrack songs for NHL15?
            Band -- Song
            1985 -- Time of your Life
            Bear Hands -- Giants
            Benny Benassi -- Control feat. Gary Co
            Close Your Eyes -- Chain Gang
            Death From Above 1979 -- Trainwreck 1979
            Empires -- How Good Does it Feel
            Every Time I Die -- El Dorado
            Fall Out Boy -- My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark
            Franc Wyte -- What I'm Talking Bout
            Holy Fever -- Find Your Fame
            Madeon -- The City
            Max Frost -- White Lies
            Plague Vendor -- Black Sap Scriptures
            Pup -- Lionheart
            Red Sky Noise -- She Don't Know
            Summer of '69 -- Come and Get It
            The Graveltones -- Forget About the Trouble
            The Night Marchers -- The Fanbase
            The Wyld -- Odyssey
            Wolf Rider -- From Where You Are
            Wolfmother -- How Many Times
            Young the Giant -- My Body

            How fast(or slow) is the sim speeds for be a gm mode(meaning like how long does it take to sim each day in be a gm)?
            The processing speed is really slow for simming Season/Be A GM games. Simming seasons is extremely tedious.

            The loading speeds are even worse in GM Connected.

            And gameplay/everything else wise, is it in any way better/different than NHL14?
            The puck physics and player collisions are noticeably improved, but I haven't felt any other differences so far in the gameplay. The AI feels the same in all aspects.

            I haven't paid much attention to the player faces in either version of NHL 15, so I can't answer that question directly, but I have attached screenshots of both guys below.

            The live-action commentary is like 95% Doc. Eddie usually only chimes in during brief stoppages, and Ray will only speak up during replay packages.

            The commentary is very robotic sounding overall. Doc repeats some of his catch phrases too often, and he lacks the energy and fluidity he has in real life.

            Even NHL 13 is still pretty close to the experience that NHL 15 offers on PS3. Neither NHL 14 nor NHL 15 would be that much of an upgrade for you. The good thing about NHL 14 is that we have some great sliders and rosters out for it already.

            I haven't messed with any of the sliders yet, as I've just been trying out all of the different default game styles. I'll start trying sliders tomorrow.

              Thanks for the soundtrack list.

              And it sucks how EA can't even get sim speeds correct. Even MLB games over 10 years ago had better sim speeds than NHL and MLB sims 162 games for all 30 teams AND even minor league stuff too,not to mention ALOT more stats the game has to keep track of. So the fact that EA can't even get good sim speeds going for NHL is just sad. Makes the modes unplayable for sure.

                Here is the full list of available equipment for skaters:

                The goalie equipment list is too long to post, but if you have any specific requests there, just let me know and I can see what's in.

                  Let me know if you have any questions about the Xbox 360 version. I will be busy this afternoon (Vanderbilt vs. Ole Miss game), but I'll swing by later tonight to catch up on any questions.
                  It sure does. Update my rosters for NHL 13 and boom! NHL 15. Thanks bro.

                    Any new jerseys? Or just the Stadium Series ones.

                      is the Stanley Cup celebration exactly the same as 14?

                        Are you sure "Sea of Voices" isn't in the game? It's the song that was featured in the NHL 15 trailer... So epic.

                          Well, if they didn't do anything for the next gen version, I highly doubt they would do anything for the current gen.

                            It is not listed in the soundtrack on the Xbox 360 Season Ticket version.

                              I guess it wasn't loud or obnoxious enough for them? If a song doesn't have screeching metal noise and people screaming incomprehensibly, it doesn't make the cut apparently...

                                The slow data processing and frequent pop-up notifications while simulating through a season make it tough to get through 1 year, let alone the full 25.

                                Is this for xbox 360 or ps3 ? I should kept xbox 360, This year isn't a big difference between next gen.
