    The 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.

    The only pro of this game is the graphics and animations and a lot of my matches throughout the game my team players either in career mode or quick play are in a fight nearly every single match which ruins the excitement of a hockey fight.

    I got it for $4.00 at my local game store, at the time I was playing something in time for the release of NHL 22 which is a superior hockey game.

    Another 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.

    Anybody 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.

    This 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.

    I bought this game before reading other reviews, should have know better. I have played this Franchise since NHL 09, and saw, for the most part, improvements made each year that made it worth the purchase.

    My review is about Be A Pro, not on-line play.

    This game is a couple of steps back. Many of the features we enjoyed in previous versions were not implemented. The announcers might as well just be on a loop, as most of the time they repeat the exact same thing and usually at times when it makes no sense.

    There are a number of bugs, such as:
    1. If you get a minor penalty, but the AI opponent scores within a few seconds after, you may end up sitting in the penalty box for the remainder of the game. When looking at the box score, it will say you are a minor for xxxx (2 minute penalty), but the game will not show the power play clock and you will be stuck. (this is purely an error, as I am not referring to a game misconduct).

    2. Sometimes an AI player will be making the skating motion, but will not move. This usually goes away once the whistle is blown.

    3. If you are in the penalty box, and the opponent AI has the puck in their end, they may just stop moving, as your team's AI has offset their movement. Will start back up once your penalty is over and you move in.

    There are many other issues, some of which were also in the previous versions, so will not go into them here..

    This is a max a $10 title going for $60 still....

Tried "hiding" star players in their minor teams, so that they'd have to make a trade or buyouts to use them, but the players just disappear. They're not in the minors or free agency.

    Sure I want to play with the CAP on, sure lets "fix" those CAP issues before we start. Oh wait, by fix you mean let the over CAP teams basically redo all their contracts??? Well that's super. Makes me want to be LA.

    P.S. I did actually like the game play at first, but Pro difficulty became a joke & All-Star makes my goalie a sieve for pucks. 40 shots against 8 and they're winning 5 to 2... And yes, those AI shots were good shots, b/c it's all they seem to take, but so were about 20 of mine.

    The passing is a joke. I don't know any other way to describe it. Many times I've been hold up on my analog and my pass goes 100% behind me, completely against what I'm pressing.
    Switching between teammates is completely random and horrible. I have to press R2 about 4 times before I can finally switch to someone whose relevant to the play, always switching between teammates that I can't even see on the screen and way out of the play. Completely random.
    The goalies are the worst I've seen since 95! And the only reason is because in NHL 95 you could do a wrap around and the goalie would get stuck behind the night, and the goalies in NHL 15 are literally just as bad. Jumping up to the hash marks during every breakaway or penalty shot, causing a laughably easy goal. Or simple shots hitting the goalie and bouncing over his head, spinning sround looking for it. The goalies are a comeplete game breaker and definitely one of the worst things about this cash grab game.
    The missing game modes and huge lack of content isn't as much a big deal for me, but easily understandably important for most gamers, so there's that.
    All I can say is if you haven't already gotten this game, the please save yourself the money and don't feed EA's pockets on this one. Do not buy this game! You WILL be disappointed.
    This is coming from a guy whose spent many many hours playing NHL 15 and is high ranked in HUT, so I'm just saying that I do know this game very well. I've yet to play a game where many, if not all, of these problems have occurred. Just a friendly warning about this game

    The lack of OTP league and other game modes is a big minus. However, the biggest disappointment would have to be how sloppy the game play feels.

However, the biggest disappointment would have to be how sloppy the game play feels. While it does seem more realistic at times it also seems like a giant crap shoot at times. Case in point would be that you can skate into an opposing player and knock them down without getting a penalty for interference every time as long as you don't touch the hit stick.

    Playing NHL 12 - 14 with other players allowed for some pretty good games where you actually saw legit offensive and defensive team play. With NHL 15 its just a giant crap shoot where either 1 player tries to cherry pick and go 1 on 1 with the goalie or a team enters the offensive zone and maybe completes 1-2 passes before taking a weak shot attempt. The puck basically flies all over the place with the updated stick/body puck collision system which is more realistic but also very annoying a times.

    Defense has gotten either simpler or more difficult depending on how you look at it. For instance, if you enjoy poke checking then you will love the poke checking system as you can pretty much separate your opponent from the puck at will ( even if you are clearly behind them by several feet you seem to magically be able to knock the puck off their stick). Hitting has become slightly more difficult but that's most likely due to the improved skating which offensive players are quick to take advantage of. Simply turning your back to the defender seems to negate a lot of hit attempts which really doesn't make a whole lot of sense. You simply bounce off or cancel the hit all together even though turning your back to a defender coming full speed would result in getting your clock cleaned pretty good.

    Overall EA dropped the puck pretty badly on this one. I use to love playing this game but now I put it in and play maybe 1 OTP match then say screw it not worth my time. Almost worth hooking the ps3 up again just to play NHL 15 on that system which offers an OTP league and more consistent game play. Seems as if all the idiots who refuse to play as a team were quick to grab this game for PS4 while all the team players stayed with the PS3 version.

    Lastly, fighting is out of control in OTP because there really is no penalty for the players involved in the fight. They just lose one of their controllable characters and remain on the ice with the next guy.

    Personally, I don't care that EA left out so many things, with the exception of drafting in be a GM. What really pisses me off is just how poor the movement of players and pucks are. Passing is incredibly inaccurate and players look heavily intoxicated. The menu system is slow beyond any reason. It's a next-gen game, no excuse for that.

It's almost impossible to bodycheck anybody who doesn't skate right into it, AI doesn't attempt to get loose pucks. Slapping the puck away is a much better option than collecting a loose puck on defense because you'll immediately get stick-checked and have it stolen. AI doesn't understand what off-sides is the way they skate as fast as they can into the offensive zone without the puck. HUT is addicting but honestly the best part about this entire game is collecting the cards. The added be a GM feature is laughable. If you want to run a hockey team play Franchise Hockey Manager.

    While I play a ton of NBA 2k14 and Mario Kart 8 online and never experience lag, my NHL 15 games always turn into a laggy-mess by the third period, even after 2 periods of a flawless connection. There's nothing more frustrating then trying to centre a pass only to have the game lag right at the moment you're passing thus leaving you hitting both pass and pressing up to shoot and completely missing a golden opportunity to score.

    The net-code, or servers, or probably both stink. The lag issues only happen for me with this game. It's not worth $5 let alone $69. Hopefully 2K brings back NHL and even if their game sucks they will get my money. I'm also buying PES over Fifa 15 for the same reason. EA needs to die.

    Oh my, oh my, where to begin, where to begin. This might be a long one, but bare with me (yes let’s get naked).

    First things first, I bought this game for only 10 bucks, and I still feel that I didn’t get my money’s worth. I bought this for the PlayStation 4 (so excitingly waiting NEXT GEN HOCKEY!!), but soon found out the only upside is that the base of the game is a good starting point….. that’s it. Meaning, the graphics are an improvement, the physics (while being unbelievable at times) are better, that’s it. It’s just a tech demo, with the ability to do a few things here and there (if they actually work) and change the teams. WOOHOO!!

    My goodness this is the most incomplete NHL they’ve ever pushed on us. That’s pretty bad considering NHL 07 was very similar; being that it was the first NHL game on the next gen console (Xbox to Xbox 360) that was stripped down completely for next gen purposes to show off what it can look like, so I guess I understand that’s probably what’s happening here. We now have the technology to push modes and updates to the console digitally, blah, blah, blah, is what EA keeps giving us. If you can’t give us a finished game, why release it? I know why, are ready for it?....... MONEY!!!! It’s pretty funny how one of the only modes thrown in and had time put into it is HUT, a game mode that is a micro-transaction, pay to win, money sucker. No wonder EA is voted worst company year after year in North America.

    Look, I love hockey with all my heart, and I buy every years addition (the only sports game I do so for) to play with friends via online shootouts, just standard versus, and EAHSL, but none of that is there. I stopped playing primarily offline years ago. I fell in love with only creating my player, turning him into this RPG style leveling up quest, which gave it so much more replay value to me. ANYWAY here’s a list of my opinion of PRO’s to CON’s.

    PRO’s:
    Graphics (but that should be expected on next gen)
    Solid core they can build up from (I mean there sure as heck nothing else there)
    And it’s hockey I guess….

    CON’s:
    Hardly any games modes
    Same sticks, faces, character design, equipment, goalie helmets that they’ve had for 10 years it seems. Really? Come on.
    GLITCHES, my goodness, pucks wrapping around the boards for goals, players getting stuck on bench, humping the boards, getting lagged out of online matches resulting in a loss. Created a goalie Be a Pro, and couldn’t even see the pads he was wearing because it showed him as a skater…
    Borderline retarded A.I. at least when they are on your team.
    Online is clearly connection biased. One game I can destroy the play (I’m fairly good at the game), the next the other player is un-hittable, un-pokecheckable, A.I. plays the body and puck perfectly, passing for them is amazing and the other player skates around like Forsberg in his prime on crack.

    In the end it's just an incomplete game, but hey you can see the hot-dog vender in the 140 section! WHO CARES?!
