    Welcome to NHL 15 version 1.2. If you've never purchased an EA NHL game, go ahead and buy it. But if you've played the game in the last 4 years, this is nothing but a roster update. Nothing new here.

    I wish the game was nothing more than a roster update like I expected, but it actually frustrates me more than any previous NHL game Ive had, dating back to NHL 07. In be a GM mode, the injuries come with an absurd frequency and no matter what team I choose, they seem to always completely implode with no understandable reason ( its happened with the Blackhawks, the Capitals, the Islanders,I wish the game was nothing more than a roster update like I expected, but it actually frustrates me more than any previous NHL game Ive had, dating back to NHL 07. In be a GM mode, the injuries come with an absurd frequency and no matter what team I choose, they seem to always completely implode with no understandable reason ( its happened with the Blackhawks, the Capitals, the Islanders, the Canadiens, and so forth) while I consistently see Toronto making the playoffs in year one. It makes no sense whatsoever. The rest of the game is the same as its ever been. The roster update was nice, but many player ratings are questionable. Oh, and they pulled Patrick Kane from the cover but somehow still have Slava Voynov in the game even though he hasn't played in over a year due to domestic assault charges and signed in the KHL well before the game came out. Another steaming piece of **** brought to you by EA. Just get last years and update the rosters yourself. This game blows… Expand

    Even if it has more modes than NHL 16, NHL Legacy Edition is basically a SCAM. You pay $60 just for a roster/equipment update and authentic NHL schedule... seriously? Couldn't you at least change the menus and the HUT cards? This is disgusting.

    I'm going to be honest, EA did tweak the gameplay and added the 3-on-3 OT and hybrid icing, but that doesn't justify $60 that you have to spend    Even if it has more modes than NHL 16, NHL Legacy Edition is basically a SCAM.

    I'm going to be honest, EA did tweak the gameplay and added the 3-on-3 OT and hybrid icing, but that doesn't justify $60 that you have to spend on this. This is basically another version of NHL 14 with a different name and updated roster.

    I doubt that EA is going to keep updating the game by adding new equipment and roster updates, but if that doesn't happen, I refuse to buy another NHL video game. This is ridiculous.

    Fortunately, I bought this "game" during a sale for half the price, but that doesn't make it any better.

    Pros:
    - Has all the modes everybody loves;
    - It's a NHL video game for last-gen consoles.

    Cons:
    - This is basically NHL 14 with updated rosters.

    Screw EA and this game, I'll stick with NHL09 for PC with mods and NHL 01 for PS1, which are games MUCH BETTER than all the trash that EA has been selling since 2014. If I were you, I would buy a PS1/PS2 and play the old NHL classics instead of this trash. It's not even worth 1 dollar.    … Expand
