Penalties now seem more frequent. 5) Board play seems more involved and detailed.6) Goalies have new animations and the pads have been upgraded (at least to last year’s) 7) you can now collide with a player on your own team.While the layout and menu are still the same as last year the over all game has a much better feel to it.Worth the purchase !!!

I agree. I own both versions of the game. I bought PS4 first, with hopes, like everyone else, that we would see a true next gen version. While we did see a next gen version, it was primarily in graphics and presentation. Gameplay was enhanced, but I don't see much difference between the gameplay on PS4 and PS3. There are more player collisions on PS4, but after awhile, it starts to look "pee-wee-ish" with guys constantly falling...at least in the games I played.

I played PS4 and realized how much the little things meant so much. The crowd in PS4 feels like they don't know what is going on during the game. There is no chanting...I hear no "drums" or clapping or much of anything really. That really takes away from the atmosphere of the game.

Playing the PS3 version, those missing sounds in PS4 really make a difference. The ability to see the action tracker is nice, too. Some claim that the PS3 is a faster game play. I think it is on default settings, but you can adjust that.

Is this a copy and paste of NHL 14? Sure is, with a few extra tweaks that should have been in 14....and they even copied over the glitches such as how you have to set the period length before every game. Even though you set it in the settings. This bug, as little as it is, and the lack of features in PS4, makes you wonder what EA really did this past year in development. Maybe they spent all the money they made off of us on NHL 14 to have office parties, and forgot about NHL 15 until the last minute.

NHL 15 for PS3 is, like everyone says, NHL 14.5. It's good, but there was so much more EA should have done. WWE 2k15 was delayed until November 18th because 2k wanted to make sure everything was where it should be with the game. EA should have followed this philosophy. I don't think there is one person here who would have had a problem waiting an extra month for this game on PS3 or PS4, if EA took that extra time to fix what was and still is wrong.
