First NHL 15 Screenshot Revealed, Pre-Order Offers Detailed

[Trevelyan]

I hate that I have to wait another few months for this game. Brutal.

Looking on par for the game I want, no screenshots from a sports title has impressed me this much since NBA 2K14.

I think I'm going to be playing a lot of NHL 15.

Looks great, especially for it's first iteration on next-gen hardware. A lot of people complain about faces, but I'm not sure how quickly developers will be able to get them to these people's almost unrealistic expectation.

NBA2k seems to be the standard, but they have by far the fewest number of players in the game. NHL, MLB, and NHL have, at a minimum, double the players that need to be active during a game. In order for games to run smoothly, you have to forgo some of that detail. So comparing NBA graphics to NHL is like comparing apples and oranges, whereas the only commonality is that they are both fruit.

I think it will take a few years until developers can fit all this detail into games without sacrificing framerate. In the meantime, there are so many gameplay enhancements that can. and will be made. I expect this to be by far the best NHL to date even though it won't be perfect.

Yeah, for those of us who don't get into HUT, not much incentive for those pre-order deals.

Looks fine, and maybe I'm blind but that looks like Thorton to me. Crowd looks nice too. Bring on gameplay videos.

Shesh even QQ about preorder bonuses. OS never ceases to amaze me anymore.

I'll take 24 bucks off the game, if you don't mind, EA.

Agreed.
That's why if I buy NHL15 it'll be for next-gen. I hope there's a bundle for a decent price by the time this game drops.
