Attention EASHL fans.

EA Sports has scheduled some sort of NHL 16 EASHL announcement later this month for NHL 15. If you currently own NHL 15, make sure you are opted in to receive emails here.

UPDATE: 7/16 The announcement is coming next week.

UPDATE: 7/21 The announcement is scheduled to arrive tomorrow.

Any guesses on what this could be?

Wonder if they are going to put out some sort of EASHL beta on the Xbox One/PS4 version of NHL 15. Being that this announcement is directed at "NHL 15 owners", makes me believe that it is something to do with the current game.

Way back in August, EA was telling disappointed NHL 15 owners that Online Team Play would be coming "in layers," and that we'd eventually be able to play with our friends in full 6 vs. 6 action, not just the 5 vs. 5 with AI goalies and randomized matchmaking that we ended up getting stuck with. So maybe that's what this is: the fabled "second layer" of OTP that never arrived.

The next area of focus will be the ability to meet up with your friends and enter games together. The first version of OTP that we roll out will be NHL rosters which you can play 6v6.

I may have to wipe the layers of dust off this game if this were true. But all the people I knew who played this moved on months ago.

I like the new EASHL logo haha.

On a more serious note like someone else said in this thread, perhaps this is a some of beta test for EASHL in NHL 16?

My guess would be a beta test using NHL 15. It's really the only thing I can think of that they would even mention NHL 15 at this point.

This is either a closed beta or, much less likely, some sort of minor incentive.
