I told myself I'd buy it when it dropped enough in price as I wasn't willing to pay $69 for what was basically a half-assed release.

$38.49 is enough of a price drop for me to pull the trigger. Especially since I was able to use the ~$9 of Xbox store credit I had on my account.

$28 for the PS3 version also. That's cheap enough for me to give it a try.

I'm going to grab it for ps4. Also picking up fifa and madden. Sale ends today I think so need to jump on it.

Figure I'll supply my sports collection for a couple years. I miss playing some hockey, and by picking up the other 2 if it gets frustrating I can move onto another sport for a bit.

Do you still have NHL 14? Cause they're the exact same game. Unless you're desperate for roster updates, it's not worth it.

It's not exact exact. There's enough changes to tide me over until I get around to getting a PS4. Hybrid icing and the new announcers are nice. A few gameplay things I've noticed changed after playing just a few games:
- They fixed the goalie going behind the net and missing the puck. He also goes from the appropriate side.
- Goalies are live, so that'll give some more interesting action at the net and some penalties called
- In just a few games I already scored a couple different ways I never could in a few thousand games on NHL14.

I play a lot of online VS so it'll be easier to find an opponent too.

Really not as bad as people say well worth the 40$

The gameplay is great but its lacking the features that keeps you around.

That's what I'm finding. Although I like playing some gm, get a few games in and move on. And I actually like the stripped down version of gm. I wasn't into everything they had in previous games as it made it feel more like a job then a game... either way, I'm enjoying it.

Although having issues installing the patch. My ps4 downloaded the game and patch at the same time, said that the patch was installed yet the game didn't get updated. Was playing last night looking all over the place for the playoff mode, and OTP. Was nowhere to be found. The giveaway though that patch didn't install was that the Avs trainer was wearing the wrong shirt.

Pulled a legend Modano last night out of a jumbo pack! I've also noticed the lower your salary cap the better your team seems to do. I edited my lines and have 1 player making 5 mil and 1 making 2.5 but the rest are all elc or ahl deals. Scored 6 goals on 12 shots with the new team.

Is Johnny in HUT yet?

Unsustainable. Way too high PDO and your Corsi was probably atrocious.

Yeah totally unsustainable corsi numbers. PDO is skyrocketed.

No Johnny Hockey yet. That was my biggest complaint when I took the survey and I have been emailing EA every week to bug them about it. Hopefully they add him soon, I need some Johnny Hockey snipes.

[Joborule]

Another survey you can participate in. This one relates to EASHL.

I'm getting pretty choked there is no Johnny hockey in HUT. But at least everyone is starting to complain to EA and give them crap for it. Hopefully they listen.

90% of the Flames players have generic faces...unacceptable

[codynw]

Almost everyone has a generic face. It's not just Flames players.

[IgiTang]

It just goes to show how ea views hut and the NHL series overall, once again.
Total cash cow. No JG is a travesty IMO. This maybe my last year playing the series. Not just because of JG, but the sum of all the parts is not where it should be, and I'm starting to wonder if it ever will be.

I couldn't help but use part of an Xbox gift card on an ultimate pack yesterday (hadn't spent any actual money on my team yet). Had a Parise in there, Kesler, etc. Nothing super elite but enough to fund the purchase of some cards I've been wanting (Team of the Week Gio, winter classic Hudler, Milestone Wideman, Movember Jagr, Fights Cancer Iggy, etc).

Also eagerly awaiting a Johnny card!

Anyone have an active EASHL that's looking for new members?

Just got the game but I played NHL 14 EASHL regularly.

Hopefully you bought the Xbox360 or PS3 edition or you're going to be disappointed.
