Aug 10, 2023The game's graphics and gameplay were slightly improved at the cost of removing literally all content present in NHL 14 besides HUT (the mode with loot boxes.) I don't know or care if the game has improved since its release, its release state was nothing short of a scam.

Jan 23, 2017Another year another disappointment. The gameplay mechanics has significantly worsen, and the way the be a pro works is just awful. Also, you will not get the full game, as several modes will be locked.

Jan 1, 2016Anybody who purchased this game should be given NHL 16 for free - that's the game we actually paid for.
I quite literally played it for 2 hours, and I couldn't any more.
I still feel heart broken 18 months later, after having written this review. -
Nov 11, 2015This is one of the games which is pretty much only playable while having a beer or ten with your friends, which brings us straight to the main point: you can't do it. Yep, no co-op at all, thanks EA. I've played this maybe twice. I wanted to play this with my friends maybe hundred times.

May 5, 2015I will not recommend it, keep your hold version, the graphics and the new arenas and commentating are good. But this is stop there. Coop play do not really existed. Missing the shootout action.

Mar 16, 2015A very bare bones iteration of a great sports title. I can't in good conscience recommend spending more than $20 on this game. Go for the last gen version if you absolutely need a hockey fix.

Jan 28, 2015This is what happens without any real competition. EA sports re-gifts a **** updated present, with better graphics and actually takes away some of the games most popular game modes. EA sports can S my D tbh. That being said, I love hockey and I love online team play and have buddies that I play with so of course if that feature is on NHL 16 I will probably hate-buy the game

Dec 18, 2014Do not buy this game, if you want a hockey game buy NHL 14.
Because NHL 15 is soo bad!
Its like a beta, with so much content missing its not even funny.
And the graphics look even worse than the NHL 14 version and thats on PS4??
I will never do this misstake again and trust EA Sports... -
Dec 3, 2014Game is literally unplayable. Huge lag issues render the game useless! The only work around is to manipulate your router settings, but it only works temporarily then it lags again. EA is known for putting out badly broken games but this is the worst by far. How is this legal?

Nov 8, 2014I played the demo and after 2 minutes immediately uninstalled it. Did a retard without arms create this game? This game had no creativity when it came to game play. I just...forget it. This game was so bad, that I don't even feel like typing anymore.

Nov 7, 2014Terrible. So disappointing. Nhl 09 is better and had a LOT more game modes. So many game modes taken out, it's really only play now and HUT. If on the fence, DO. NOT. BUY.
