Please make the NHL 15 thread as dramatic as possible.

I was kidding around and you didn't get the joke so you responded like a child.

Grow up, move on, let's get back to the game shall we? Feel free to PM "childish rhetoric" to me if it phalates your own ambitions.

Think you can handle that? Albirt Insteyn?

I think a large amount of the issues with the online GM comes from how it was setup on EA's end. I played several different GM leagues and the ones where you were actually the GM (as in you manage the team and don't play......because GMs don't play hockey, seems pretty simple) and all games where simmed were perfectly fine but the ones where people had to play were terrible.

Be a GM should be just that, you manage the team. Soccer games figured this out long ago and made another mode (franchise) in which you can GM and play.

EA will focus on the online aspect the most as it is what brings them money after the game is sold. Most games released now focus more then 80% of their game online and that trend will continue with NHL 15.

Definitely thought Oshie was going to win. It'll probably end up being Subban.

When I said "move on" I meant for more than a week. I meant forever.

I'm gonna be a nit-picker and say that the faces look nothing like the players. Thats supposed to be Thornton (obviously) and Hannan

Otherwise cool pic

Reading about the game I'm pumped. The presentation change in commentator finally and physics will make it great on the ps4.

[Igottago]

I like the variation in the crowd, everyone seems like a unique individual.

[Hockeyguy15]

Ha, fans with facepaint.

[strombad]

Looking pretty good!

If we're going to nitpick (and I say: let's!) I have to say that a minor visual problem I've always had (and appears to remain) is the way the nameplate/numbers crinkle and move like cloth on the jersey, instead of sewn on patches. When the shoulders move and the last/first letters of the name shrink/expand it's always just really bothered me. Not sure why.

It's so irrelevant and useless to care about, so I don't really, but it's ALWAYS something that's been in the back of my mind.

If you remember the first 'next-gen' version on the last gen consoles (NHL 07), the players looked nothing like their real life counterparts.

Either they're still working on the faces or that will carry through to NHL 15.

[topfiverecords]

People wearing old Jets jerseys to a Yotes-Sharks game? Not likely.

[TorqueDog]

Yeah, they should probably move those retro jerseys over to the new Jets (or make them an option on both teams).

I thought they were available to both teams? I'd have to fire it up again to see, but I'm pretty sure they are.

I hope the players themselves physically look different from one another... they could all have the same face for all I care, but I want to see a body difference between Kane and Toews, or Chara and Gio... different playing styles, skating styles...

They are using the same player modelling engine that they used for UFC, and after seeing that game I'm optimistic.

Toughest. Customer. Ever.

But now that I see it, I get your point.

[Russic]

Admittedly I'm a little confused why that doesn't look like Thornton in any capacity, but the rest of it looks incredible. Super excited for E3. Hopefully we see gameplay in some manner.
