    NHL 15 is getting a lot of bad press because it launched missing several game modes. These are being patched back in, so it won't be an issue in the near future. The gameplay is fantastic, as are the visuals, audio and presentation. Don't let internet trolls dissuade you from grabbing the first NHL game on current gen platforms. At least try the demo and see for yourself. I have noNHL 15 is getting a lot of bad press because it launched missing several game modes.

    Highly recommend this game to any true hockey fan! Graphics are amazing! New gameplay is amazing! New broadcasting is amazing! Who cares if they didn't include some little game modes in this years game, doesn't undervalue the game at all!

    I don't know why everybody is complaining I absolutely LOVE this game! It's awesome and extremely realistic as well as the broadcasting, arenas and the 12 man physics and more. There are some things missing like eashl but man does the man the actual gameplay makes up for it big time! This is now my favorite NHL game made so far

    The game is a huge improvement from the previous nhl games since 94, although there is a lot of missing features, there is a lot of features to come this month. NHL 15 has no information of 94 mode, which doesn't bother me. Everyone really needs to stop freaking out about the missing features and wait a week or two, you can play 1v1 online, and normal games with improved gameplay, if youThe game is a huge improvement from the previous nhl games since 94, although there is a lot of missing features, there is a lot of features to come this month.

Everyone really needs to stop freaking out about the missing features and wait a week or two, you can play 1v1 online, and normal games with improved gameplay, if you don't think the game is like nhl 14 or 13, then give it a week or so. Overall if you really want an NHL game with right on physics, and improved gameplay, NHL 15 is for you, as the game is missing some features, I still refuse to return the game or give up on it, as it is confirmed for updates in september, and some extra freebies of features will be added in october!… Expand

    Despite the highly publicized lack of features, the latest installment in the NHL series is the best to date. NHL 94 is no big loss, while the 6v6 mode will be added as DLC content at a later date. The visuals are out of this world while the gameplay is flawless. The sound is authentic and the added NBC broadcasting is an added bonus.

    best gameplay in an nhl but lacking almost all the features that have been in the series for so long and for the others that are still in the game the are stripped down to their bare minimums

    I think this game delivers exactly what I expected I just want simple straight forward hockey with better visuals and audio and I feel they came through for sure. I love the NBC commentary and the realistic feel of the players. I think people expect way to much for a sports game when all I expect as a huge hockey fan is just to play some realistic hockey.

    The new engine looks great but while the foundation was successfully rebuilt, many core features are missing. [Issue#246]

    Moment-to-moment gameplay is great, making it such a shame that the elements connecting matches is so underwhelming. [Issue#117, p.82]

    A jarringly inconsistent first poke at next-gen hockey. Makes bold leaps forward in terms of game day presentation, physics and AI, but large swathes of it seem unfinished. [Dec 2014, p.82]
