I've had that problem online a couple of times.

Spoiler!

Ultimate Team edition. Came with a code that gives you packs once a week. I don't remember how long it lasts for.

Apologies if this has been posted before, don't feel like going through 85 pages. In fact I'm positive this would have been posted and if not, I'm just an idiot.

There I was having my first real NHL 2015 session the other day (wife out of town haha), and to my dismay I couldn't figure out how to play a season as the Flames? Like did they take the 'Season' game mode right out of the game? WTF. That's all I ever wanted to do. All I could do were online modes, quick play, and whatever that HUT thing is. Oh and GM mode....maybe that was it? But it had a picture of a guy with a tie on...

I think Season mode got added in one of the content updates. Not sure where you'd find it, but assuming you've updated the game, it should be there somewhere.

I'm ashamed to say that I bought a "jumbo" pack for $3 in HUT... Ok so I bought 2 packs. Pulled a Doughty and a St Louis which I think is good

I'm in Div 4... I was tearing it up in the weaker divisions but have hit a bump in Div 4... Resulting in my angry splurge on packs lol!

Sadly it was just playoff mode, and OTP that were added in the content updates.

Why do the Jackets keep playing Mcelhinney? I got drafted by the Jackets in BAP and Bobrovsky has played 4 games so far. And he isn't hurt either.

Oops. I should have known that.

There's nothing wrong to spend money if you enjoy it. I've purchased a few packs, because I enjoy playing HUT.

Here's my current setup in div 1

Benn - Bergeron - HFC Vorachek
Duchene - Kesler - Hall
Pacioretty - Kopitar - Marleau
Sharp - E. Staal - Backstrom

Seabrook - Doughty
Bouwmeester - Shattenkirk
Hedman - J. Johnson

HFC Fluery - Luongo

NHL Legend cards came out today for HUT. Might be a good time to blow some pucks on packs.

Really? Only a few packs? Your 4th line is way better than my 1st line.

getting pretty sick of this game. every game seems like dumb luck on who ends up winning.

i also hate how little one can do from a defensive standpoint. Online gameplay has become a figure skating game again.

EA sucks, really hope they change up the team, i think the current team has run its course and there needs to be new blood, new ideas in the game design and evolution.

This is what bugs me from an offline play standpoint.

Unless you stop the pass from getting through with your d-man, your other d-man will just stand in front of the net without even trying to play the puck, and will watch as the forward player one-times the puck in the net.

More frustrating since the CPU team does a pretty good job defensively of breaking these apart on the other end, so the defensive logic is there...just isn't applied to both teams equally.

[codynw]

I just blew ALL of my pucks on gold packs (bought about 14 of them) and the best player I got was Vlasic. That was a waste.

[AcGold]

I wish EA would get it together. Years ago when the pokecheck was the best defensive move the game was actually fun. I tried this years and while polygon count goes up hockey realism goes down.I hope their sales were so bad they are forced to make a change.

Main menu has basic features only, no videos, advertising or needless garbage

No pausing in online

No lag in online

Every game played online actually gets credit regardless of whether the other guy quits

These are features games 10 years ago had, they are literally a decade behind, sigh....fire the whole team and hire people that take pride in their work. A team of underpaid grads could do a better job. I just knew when they were showing teasers with no gameplay we were in for a terrible product.

The defensive AI is pretty good they just wont compensate if you move a LD over to the right side ect. I usually hold RT until they cross the blue line, release RT and poke check once they are in range. That way you can stay in position and as long as you keep your body between the puck and the net you will usually block the shot. Lift stick is really useful on puck battles and you wont get an interference penalty for doing it.

Do any other games let you pause online play? Especially in ranked matches? Seems ridiculous to me. They need to get rid of the option to pause, or if you hit pause, the game should continue with AI controlling your team.
