NHL 15 Thread

[Igottago]

The glitches in the game are hilarious, just goes to show how unfinished and rough around the edges it is.

Commentary team: "So exciting to see the league's leading scorer in action for this game tonight".

Camera goes to Ovechkin, graphic below states " Alex Ovechkin, 0 Goals, 0 Assits, 0 Points"

Then proceeds to show the starting goalies with 0 games played, 0 GAA, 0 Wins. This is about 15 games into the season.

Trade #1
To DAL
-Bill Arnold
-Curtis Glencross
-2017 1st

To CAL
-Jamie Benn

Trade #2
To EDM
-Jiri Hudler
-Brandon Bollig
-2015 2nd
-Some other pick

To CAL
-Jordan Eberle

Trade #3
To COL
-Stajan
-2016 1st
-2015 3rd

To CAL
-Ryan Johansen

Trade #4
To BOS
-Dennis Wideman
-2016 2nd Round

To CAL
-Dougie Hamilton

Trade #5
To TBL
-Jonas Hiller
-2016 3rd

While he took them to task for the lack of modes, he also claimed the notion that they've been working on it for 2 years is false. Apparently this version of NHL began development less than a year ago despite having 2 years off. He mentioned that EA has an development order that obviously puts resources towards games like Madden and FIFA first. That makes a bit more sense. To me that doesn't change the review scores, but it does shed some light.

Yeah, I have a friend who until just recently worked at EA as a rigger and would keep me up to date on any modeling positions and he told me around summer last year that the NHL team was just starting to put a next gen modeling team together.

I don't think EA was lazy like many want to think. Their planning was just piss poor and they didn't prioritize properly.

I guess the sale starts tomorrow. Sorry for jumping the gun. I just got mine price matched at BB.

It's funny that they couldn't even update your online VS record when you return to online VS menu after a game. It's takes forever to load and they don't even update the stats.

You just have to go in and out of the mode for the record to update. Shouldn't have to though.

I haven't had experience with slow menus yet - fingers crossed it stays this way.

Let me know when it's on sale for $30 somewhere. I might pick it up then.

I play on PS3, does Setoguchi have blue hands on everyone's game or just on mine. When he fights, his hands are blue.

Maybe it's just really cold in the arena?

[Arya Stark]

So if I buy it for PS3 do I have to pay for online? and is it the same network as the ps4 folks?

Well you have to have Playstation Plus I believe.

And no, the PS3 and PS4 games are different, so you will not be playing with anyone who doesn't have the same system.

Yea, looks like its good to go today. Still debating whether to buy it or not though, haha. I likely will.

No, online for the PS3 is free. You will only be playing with other ps3 people though as it's a totally different game.

Best Buy isn't even a sale. Looks like they actually dropped the regular price to $49.99... I think its mostly because of overstock.

the one thing that makes me really not enjoy the game online is when it becomes a stupid slalom fest and the game looks like a bunch of figure skaters out there

[Arya Stark]

Playing my first game right now. 4-4 in shots and 3-3 in score. Yikes.
