Lop. I agree with a lot of what you say, as I'm also enjoying the game. But it's very hard to read your posts when there's not a single period in the entire thing.

This is how I feel that you said that as I type faster than I think

now that ive played more.
the obvious flaws for me is the bad cpu ai in front of the net and how easy they let you enter the neutral zone and offensive zone.

i play on superstar and i cant find a way to get the cpu to keep possesion and even up shot totals to me.

goalies need a rehaul. you have to increase their speed or else you score 6 goals a game on them in 8 min periods.

puck physics really are amazing.

i do love how the shots are this year. and how they made the puck move while in the net.
i scored on a slot snapshot from stamkos. low blocker. and i love how the puck whipped around the net. looked amazing.

This is what's going to kill it again for me this year.
I just cannot take how my AI controlled teammates are complete robot IDIOTS on defense...
....and how a few ballet on ice moves will get you right into the offensive zone on the other side.

That aside....there are some good advances as well....puck physics seem killer.....and the default speed of the game although it seems the same as last year...it somehow feels better this year.
I used to crank skating speed down.
I haven't even really looked at sliders this year yet.

But they have to ramp up the A.I. for the on ice play. It's terrible.

Heres two of my games last night boys and the stats dont lie as they were real and spectacular on 8 min periods on Allstar near default slider so maybe some of the people with different results is a user or Hockey IQ issue as its also a real hu interactive game and not a sim you can just watch unfold

I was the Avs and Hawks and I actually had two more games but my screen boxscores didnt save properly and this is how most of my games are even with the tilted Ice factor .

In the Hawks game The Kings played just like the kings and were on me all game really realistic but Craw stood on his Head in the 1st and 3rd periods but I also played Excellent positional D and didnt screen or chase the offense and Shaw got two grinder goals .

The Avs game I was off stride and couldnt get much going offensively just a real sloppy and violent game and minny got a ENG to end it as I just couldnt control the tilted Ice .

I wonder if they could or would do a 1080p patch. Looking at the 1080p screenshots in the playstation store is depressing.

You know another thing I really like and I have fighting at 2 is when I have the tilted ice advantage the cpu tries to start a fight to get it back but its normally their best fighter so I wait for a good matchup.

Gotta hold that Ice boys huge part of this game and it looks like to me its also harder to win on the road this year very nice realistic touch I mean this game really needs a little things thread and I love the signs by the penalty box the fans hold taunting the player in the bin .

Really like how each arena looks very close to the real ones and to my knowledge Chicken Parm is even in the right spot doing on Ice analysis but I still wish the replay camera went up to the rafters for a free roam view .

To the fans of each Arena they know is yours pretty accurate ? The Detail is really incredible but is it correct for the most part ?

What is this tilted ice stuff you all keep talking about?

Im sure others can explain it better but its how the game is programmed through Intimidation , fighting and big hits , when you kill off a penalty ect the momentum swings from one team or the other bu its blended very well this year and you will also here the announcers mention and talk about it .

It used to be real noticeable years ago when it happened as it messed up your skating and lessened your players skill if they were intimated .

Oh and you can see it effect the lines with boost right after a fight ( its a visual little green bars on lines change )

Re: NHL 15 Available Now for PS4 and Xbox One - Post Your Impressions Here

Ok some more " little things " impressions do you notice how hard it is winning on the road this year ? and I it the way it should be and its not cheap feeling at all and another little thing puck/collision physics are the best physics I have seen in any sports game to date .

You can really feel it on blocked shots and clearing plays when the PK is trying to get the puck out of the zone so the ghosting on bodies and puck interaction are gone in that sense but sticks might be tougher to do ? but heres a few examples where I got hit in the mouth by a hard shoot in .

LOL....There he goes again insulting everyone who takes issue with the game. If your not getting good results and are not in love with this game, as many of us are not, and rightfully so......We all have a low IQ or know very little about hockey. Clearly Shamwow has the only functioning copy of NHL 15 and it came with magic beans. He spams up several threads with the same crap. If you read his posts and its hard not too since they are everywhere and all the same, His sliders and difficulty levels have changed more times than you can count but two things never change.....He is getting great results and we are all too dumb or too lazy to figure it out. We are also all too dumb to figure out his tilted ice theory which is as a whacked out as he is. What a joke

Lol. Every other word is tilted ice now.

Every thread gets derailed by spam or rambling that doesn't give legit input or help. This guy needs a warning.

I'm close to finding my sliders and fixed penalties. ..but hard to have a mature discussion with this kid spamming every thread.

Game blows! If you haven';t bought the game yet, don't do it!! They took out pretty much every game mode from the past few years. EA is a bunch of lazy wholes. The game is nothing more than a demo. The list of things they left out is too long to put here.. Absolute waste of money. EA you suck!!!

My dearest the shamisashame what exactly is your agenda on these message boards? You have repeatedly accused guys of not having the "hockey sense" that you seemingly posess. Your holier than thou/snobbish and look at me attitude is not appreciated by me and many other members on this site.
The game isn't horrible but it leans heavily towards arcade as there is zero nuetral zone play and almost no board play. It is a north and south racetrack. Trust me i tweak sliders and play as sim as possible.
Also questioning people's hockey knowledge is just childish, I played hockey up to and thru college and watch an insane amount of nhl games. I'm not telling you this because I want a cookie or a pat on the back but rather knowledge of the game is not the issue. Please o please put me on this "pay no mind list", I can't believe you have a list and on top of that you have a name for said list. That is all.
