    Unfortunately, it really is just more of the same but with an impressive visual bump.

    The choice to rebuild from square one on a new engine has resulted in a game that doesn’t necessarily stand up to last year’s on paper, but shows promise when taking into account the track record of EA Sports NHL. In the game of hockey, sometimes you have to make the counter-intuitive decision to take a big penalty to prevent a season-ending goal.

    NHL 15 shows a lot of movement in the right direction on the new platforms and is a strong basis to make even better games for years to come.

    Gameplay and graphics are good, but just as everyone has said there are no decent game modes. Oh, and I just love having to sit on the bench between shifts with no option to sim to next shift. It would have been nice if they took a page from the 2k book and made a career mode with a little personality.
    Gamefly worthy but thats it. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. Paying full price for a tech demo is insane.    … Full Review »

    A great tech demo with loads of promise and fabulous gameplay. Unfortunately that's all that's there. You can't sim your BAP shifts. You can'tA great tech demo with loads of promise and fabulous gameplay. Unfortunately that's all that's there. You can't sim your BAP shifts. You can't draft in GM mode. No access to your AHL team in GM mode either. Online is 1v1 only, no online team play and no clubs. HUT mode is of course largely intact - so you still have the option of paying EA to play the game you already paid for. So unless all you like to do with a sports sim is play exhibition or 1v1 online this thing is a pretty tech demo. I had more game modes in my 1993 hockey sims.… Full Review »

They promise that more modes will be added by October which is when this game should of have been released. Emphasis on HUT to ensure they get as much money as they can. I can't say I'm surprised when your parent company is EA. 2 years to work with the new engine and we get this stripped down tech demo with no OTP, no GM connected, no drafting players in GM, and the biggest for me, EASHL. Please explain to me why I should spend $60 on your game? All sports games are rated based on their last iteration and this one is by far the worst game in the series in a long time which is sad since I've been playing since NHL 08.… Full Review »
