No EASHL, GM Connected, OTP, or Live The Life in NHL 15 on XB1/PS4 (Interview)

[Pezell04x]

Blech. Knew it was coming, doesn't mean it doesn't sting any less.

[VoItage]

How can they justify charging $60 for this? You can't charge full price for a PB&J Sandwich when you ran out of peanut butter.

Between the EA Access time limits and now this, EA proved they're still the EA of old. Just when you thought they were turning a corner...

[Hunkerdown]

I guarantee you GM mode will be stripped down as well. Who plays this ultimate team crap in sports games, its horrible fantasy sports, tried with FIFA, never again.

Ugh, sounds like GM mode is going to be half assed as well. At least it's in there I suppose, but still. As others have said, it's pretty BS that something like hut makes the cut if everything else is suffering. I'm glad Destiny releases the same day to keep me busy.

I never played EASHL and OTP, so I wasn't worried about missing anything here.

However, this interview has me worried. He seems to imply that Be A GM won't be complete (and possibly even broken!) at launch, and that worries me:

Quote:

OS: What about Be-A-GM? SR: In Be-A-GM, you have the opportunity to control your own franchise and guide them to a Stanley Cup. All of the basics of the mode are there: there’s free agency, trading, and the rookie draft. You can play up to 25 seasons as well. The core of that mode is there. We’re continuing as part of our updates to bring back some of that depth in different ways. We’ll have more details on what the patch plans for Be-A-GM specifically at a later date. The goal was to create a solid foundation to continue to build upon and to bring back things our fans have been asking for which we haven’t been able to in the past because of other technical limitations we’ve had.

that is actually a fantastic point. I'm on PS4 myself but since i'm no longer going to grab NHL, looks like i'll be buying Golf Club

Super bummer...finally confirmed. Was really excited, but hard to say this is worth $60. More time for Destiny and NBA 2K or FIFA.

Countdown to NHL 16?

There is no excuse for leaving out any game modes. Voluntarily took a year off so they would have two full years to develop an amazing game for the fans and yet they leave out the game modes that are most important to us.
