First game play trailer came out at E3 today

NHL 15 - Official E3 Gameplay Trailer - YouTube

[jeedee]

inb4 its a recycled version of the year before...

..and the year before that...

...and the year before--

yeah you get the point

[ForbiddenX]

inb4 you actually watch the video or actually look up the features they've added in NHL15.


12 PLAYER NHL COLLISION PHYSICS
For the first time in any sports game, real-world physics affects every player through every on-ice collision with the new 12 Player NHL ® Collision Physics. Utilizing the power of the next generation consoles, and building off the critically-acclaimed NHL Collision Physics system, every player on the ice is governed by physics at all times. Feel the hard-hitting chaos of NHL hockey through true-to-life secondary collisions, net scrambles and player pileups, capturing the desperation of every shift.

REAL PUCK PHYSICS
The puck is one of the most complex items in the game to authentically replicate and it finally gets its due in NHL 15. Completely rebuilt puck physics result in a more realistic feel to every puck interaction. Everything on the ice, including the ice surface itself, is live which leads to the unpredictable and authentic puck spins, rolls and bounces seen in a real NHL game.

AUTHENTIC PLAYER & EQUIPMENT MODELS
The Next Generation Hockey Player has been rebuilt from the ice up. Now player models have three distinct layers - the body, equipment, and jersey. Each layer interacts independently, making every contact with the puck or other players even more realistic. Dynamic Cloth technology adds an extra layer of realism as it reacts to the player’s movement as they explode up the ice, helping bring the speed of the game to life.

UNPRECEDENTED PLAYER LIKENESS
Powered by the same technology that brought the most realistic representation of the athlete to EA SPORTS UFC, NHL 15 delivers groundbreaking player likeness, emotion and animation. From the strides a player takes to get up the ice to the emotion on their face after scoring a game winning goal, the players are as real as they’ve ever been.

SUPERSTAR SKILL STICK
Now all the tools of an NHL superstar are in your hands. The revolutionary Skill Stick has evolved to give even more control to the player. Protect the puck, receive passes without breaking stride, and discover an arsenal of sweet new dekes, all with an intuitive right stick control scheme that is easy to use but packed with depth.

AUTHENTIC ARENAS
There is no feeling like being there, and we are giving you the best seats in the house. The power of the next-gen consoles finally allows the NHL franchise to capture every detail of an NHL arena. Unique arena elements from 19,000+ seat capacities to lighting and player entrance tunnels are captured with a level of detail not possible on the previous generation. Now those home games will truly feel like home.

NEW COMMENTARY TEAM
New voices for a new generation. NHL 15 welcomes the NBC Sports commentary team of Mike 'Doc' Emrick and Eddie Olczyk to the broadcast booth. TSN analyst Ray Ferraro will provide game insights at ice level. Combined with Real Life Broadcast Integration that will feature real-world pre-game video commentary with Doc and Eddie set against in-game visuals, NHL 15 takes a revolutionary step forward in sports videogames; where the lines between the real world of sport broadcast and the game are blurred.

NBC SPORTS GAME DAY PRESENTATION
The most realistic broadcast package in a video game to-date is possible because of a new partnership with NBC Sports. Set the scene with the NHL on NBC crew welcoming you to the city during the game intros and immerse yourself in an experience that matches what you see on television with NHL on NBC graphics and branding.

LIVING CROWDS
NHL 15 sets a new standard in videogames with over 9,000 individual crowd models with 4x the animations of previous generations. Take a look through the glass and you’ll see fans hold up signs with your name on them, costume wearing superfans, or even sections full of team rivals rooting against you. Feel their behavior change after dropping the gloves, landing a big hit, or scoring a clutch goal. The crowd is alive.

VISION AI
An elevated level of player intelligence, Vision AI features evolved awareness with players reading and reacting to potential plays. Scoring area recognition, pass anticipation, and enhanced team breakouts all improve the flow of the game.

That was such a shitty trailer. Those are like CGI cutscenes. I want to see actual gameplay.

I wonder how many bugs will be in this one since it's a new engine. I remember when NHL07 first came out for the X360, there was an easy to replicate wrister that went in like 80% of the time.

Also, I wonder if last generation consoles are getting the same update and can play with the new generation consoles.. I don't want to buy a new $500 console just to play one game.

Ah, I miss the good old days of playing NHL in high school and pwning noobs.. Was always ranked in the Top 50s from 09-11 (shameless brag).

[jeedee]

inb4 you actually watch the video or actually look up the features they've added in NHL15.

I did watch the video and it looks like last years version. That's the thing with EA. They always add 1 or 2 "new features" and when you actually play the game--you realize its just a recycled version of last years version.

That's just my opinion lol

It's true but they've gotten my money every single year since the original came out for the Genesis in 1991. I remember begging my mom to buy me a Genesis just so I could play, I've bought every single year since. The same goes for Madden, it's the two games I look forward to every year if for nothing more then the roster update.

Now I buy them for my son so he can play........well maybe I play a little as well. :)

[CorneringArtist]

Thank God Gary Thorne got the boot...Although the NBC coverage was hit and miss, at least it's something with Ray Ferraro running analysis.

[Jmac]

inb4 you actually watch the video or actually look up the features they've added in NHL15.
You sound very naive. In NHL 13, some of the features they advertised during the summer weren't even in the game in September and some more were removed completely by mid-October (funnily enough, they're still mentioned in the tutorial even after the patches).

Every year they pull the same shit. Hopefully this year is different, but I'll assume it's not until EA proves otherwise.

[cdizzle_996]

Just jizzed

[ScizzMoney]

Gonna sound salty here. But, if you think it's the same every year go play NHL 09 then play 14 again. If you play enough these changes actually feel quite significant. Not sure what people expect, different dimensions for the rink or hills and pits and traps? wtf

[jeedee]

Gonna sound salty here. But, if you think it's the same every year go play NHL 09 then play 14 again.

You're comparing a game from 5 years ago to the most recent one. Well no shit its going to be a different game.

Hell even in NHL 09, it was a recycled version of 08 and 07.

I've played NHL 09 PC with updated mods and it boggles my mind how these unpaid internet guys can come up with more realistic features/gameplay than the EA guys who get PAID and decide to release basically last years version of the game :fulloffuck:

[ScizzMoney]

^
I get it, I just don't know what people expect when one comes out every year. I think it would be better if they just do roster updates with DLC and skip every second year and come refreshed every two years, but that will never happen.

[mos_skeeto]

I alternate FIFA and NHL every year so I see the updates every 2 years or so. Even at this interval the changes are noticeable but minor.

[Happy]

#1 - I hope they get rid of that awful one touch deking system. Should be more difficult to deke, not easier..

#2 - I hope they bring back the virgin gaming challenge. Being mainly a VS player I wanna win some monnnaaayyyyyyy. Disappointed they didn't have it this year

[Tim Budong]

Demo is out

and those new puck physics are AWESOME

[Jmac]

Demo is out

and those new puck physics are AWESOME
Can't wait to experience those physics in EASHL and GMC on PS4 ... :drunk:

[Happy]

What's everyones plan for 15?

360/PS3 or XB1/PS4?

[ScizzMoney]

No plan for 15.

Wait for 16 or whenever the fuck they bring back EASHL.

[Nabatron]

getting it on PS4 but not nearly as excited since they took out EASHL....any idea as to why they took it out? Or will there be an update/pay extra to download it?

[Jmac]

Rumour is because they were unable to get 6 vs 6 networking issues fixed.

Online Team Play (up to 6 vs 6 with real teams) will be patched in later.

EASHL won't be in at all this year.

GM Connected looks to be scrapped altogether.

[Nabatron]

I see so were buying a game with less features then the previous year for the same price...Yeah I know noone is holding a gun to my head and saying I have to buy the game but still...shit like this doesn't make sense. With how EA does this the game will most likely be like the previous with a little bit better visuals here and there plus adding more so called "engines"

[striderblade]

Are they runnkng this at 720p on the ps4 version?

[iwantaskyline]

I alternate FIFA and NHL every year so I see the updates every 2 years or so. Even at this interval the changes are noticeable but minor.

Lol. EA takes my money for both games each year -- them damn ultimate team modes too addicting.

[Happy]

Online Team Play (up to 6 vs 6 with real teams) will be patched in later.



I don't understand how they never got this in the game. It's already been in since nhl 09..

EA needs to fire the NHL devs and hire the FIFA ones

[ScizzMoney]

I wish the NHL games sold well so they'd put more resources into the series. So much potential for hockey games, imo.

[Razor Ramon HG]

Anyone play NHL14 on X360 down for some friendlies?

Just took the old X360 out of the closet and bought the game off the marketplace.

[slicrick]

pretty disappointing about no EASHL or GM Connected, friends and I had a 27 person GM connected and it was awesome other than the brutal simulation times and players disappearing..

Been playing the 15 demo a bit its pretty good IMO, will be buying it first day gotta play HUT :lol

[Mr.Money]

i love the demo...it's almost Fifa like challenging....all out worried you don't want to make a mistake

anyone notice how the wrist shots are faster then the slap shots??????..

[hotjoint]

Please don't buy this garbage for PS4/XB1. Let's hit them where it hurts the most!

NHL 15 Might Be Missing More Than We Anticipated (XB1/PS4) - Operation Sports (http://www.operationsports.com/news/760010/nhl-15-...re-than-we-anticipated-xb1ps4/)

From Operation Sports
Now that the EA Access trial period has started, Xbox One players have noticed that the list of missing modes and features in next-gen NHL 15 is much larger than previously expected. In a prior interview with Sean Ramjagsingh, some of these were hinted at but not fully disclosed, but the depth of some of the gutted features seems to be larger than initially anticipated. The following items are features which users have noticed are missing while playing the early access to NHL 15 -- keep in mind this information is preliminary and some of these could actually be in the game but well hidden. With just six hours of time to test, it doesn't leave much room to explore:

Modes/Features
No GM Connected
No Online Team Play (when this is patched into the game later this year, it will use real NHL players and teams)
No EA Sports Hockey League
No EA Sports Arena
No Online Shootouts
No Live the Life
No Be A Legend
No Winter Classic
No tournaments or Battle for the Cup
No season mode (you can only play seasons in Be A GM, which is limited to NHL teams)
No NHL 94 Anniversary mode
No custom music support
No create-a-play designer
Cannot customize each team's AI
No create-a-team
No way to edit individual players
Practice mode is now limited to one skater vs. an AI goalie

Gameplay
No custom camera option
No Action Tracker replay highlights

Be A GM
Yearly draft is fully automated by the CPU
Cannot play the AHL games for your chosen franchise
Players sent down to the minors do not accumulate any season stats
No fantasy draft option
No preseason games

Be A Pro
No option to sim ahead to the next shift
You only play in the NHL; you cannot play for minor league teams
The Memorial Cup tryout period is gone. You now begin by picking an NHL team, or by letting a random CPU team draft you.
No All-Star game

Ultimate Team
Cannot play against your friends
No tournaments
No mobile app
All of the above features were available last year in NHL 14 for the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 but appear to be missing this year on the new-generation of consoles. If you have NHL 15 early access and have noticed any of these are actually in the game or if anything additional is missing let us know in the comments below.

They should make a game every two years. Seems like every year these games are rushed. Hell I would warrant another competitor to make an NHL game again.

[ScizzMoney]

They didn't even make 14 for XB1 or PS4 so in my mind they basically had 2 years to make this one.

If anyone wants to join a Top 5 overall club for NHL 15 on ps3 let me know

[Jmac]

Buying it for PS3 because of improvements to BAGM and everyone has been hounding me to play one last year of GMC.

I would be interested in playing some EASHL with Dave if he goes to the dark side. Otherwise, I'll play w/ Allen.

[Happy]

I suggest game sharing nhl 15 so ea doesn't get that much money for fucking up

2 people from our club bought the game digitally and shared it with 2 of us

So 4 people playing when only 2 people bought it

[hotjoint]

Nah, I said that I wasn't going to buy into EA's garbage product and I'm sticking to it. I have 9 games preordered for PS4 so I'll be occupied with that.

[Happy]

I'm good bro. I'll be back with you guys for 16 along with the rest of the guys. Have fun!

[mos_skeeto]

Wow the reviews are dissing it pretty bad. In a nutshell great gameplay, missing tons of game modes.

[Tim Budong]

Not 100%, but I believe that offer is only available in the US.

[slicrick]

I bought mine off of the xbox live store and didn't receive anything for GCL, its ok though as I use hockeystreams anyways

The game alright the actually game play on next gen consoles is much better than on 360 but it's quite stripped down all I have played is HUT as there's no EASHL, GM Connected and be a GM is awful on next gen

[Happy]

So this happened last night :

I got previous gen because next gen is missing all that shit ... plus BAGM is actually upgraded from NHL 14 rather than stripped down.

[sonick]

I only have an Xbox360 and I hear NHL 15 for last-gen was not updated at all.

I don't really care about updated Rosters just wanna play around casually vs computer.

That said, is there much improvement between NHL13 vs NHL14? Not gonna pay full price for NHL 15.
