The upgrade is complete, but you've probably noticed the forums are only showing posts up to about April 8. Posts made after that are still in the process of being moved over, and that should take another week or two. Feel free to start a new thread.
The site might feel a little slow while work continues. Engineers are staying on it through the night to get things moving faster again. Thanks for your patience.

I haven't really noticed any banter between Doc and Edzo during the play, mostly stoppages. Love the idea they added the shot totals to the end of period summary, before heading to intermission. Something Gary and Bill didn't do. That'll save me from having to see how many shots were taken. Doc and Ezdo both sound very robotic. Ray actually sounds good.
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.

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.

Are any of the new faces from PS4/XB1 included, like Bergeron or McDonagh?
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.

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.
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.

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

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.
Re: NHL 15: Early Impressions from 360/PS3 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...
Re: NHL 15: Early Impressions from 360/PS3 Version
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.
