NHL 15 Thread

Honestly I just want a usable version of GM Connected. I don't understand why it's so hard to implement.

It would help if EA weren't so window-licking ######ed. "We're dropping this mode - we released it in a next-to-unusable state with absurd loading times and bugs that cause the entire league to crash. So we just cannot understand why no one seems to be using it, but given that they're not we're comfortable removing it from the game. Buy more HUT card packs you losers."

Completely agree.
And maybe ger rid of player/goalie boosts.

I get the impression that EA are just going to push HUT more and more, as it makes them extra revenue, and bugger all of the other modes.

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

Yeah, I agree, which is why I said it's ruined the series. Potential $ absolutely and completely trumps anything to do with making a better product.

Offensive TOTY is out now.

Nice to see Hudler made the team!
Suprised to see Rick Nash didn't make it.

No Giordano either.

[northcrunk]

Was really surprised to see Hudler there but well deserved. Malkin go the shaft lol which is good for me as my base Malkin wont go down in value.

I have Keith on my squad, he is probably my favorite defensemen in the game. So fast and can hit really well.

Also NHL 15 is now free in the EA Access Vault! That should add a whole bunch of new players.

so i fired up NHL last night and decided to try out the playoff mode. Setup this year's playoff bracket, and played game 1 of the flames game. Game goes to OT, except that OT was playe 4 on 4, and only a 5 min period (even though i thought i initially set the mode up as up continuous 5 on 5).

Is this a defect in the mode or do i need to start a new playoff and ensure i got the settings right?

Another TOTW with 2 Flames

LW 75 PWF Ferland
RD 90 OFD Wideman

Man, I have no room for these guys in my lineup but I'm definitely trying that Ferland card out!

[northcrunk]

That's awsome. I really wonder if Bennet and Ferland will get Stanley Cup cards

[J79]

TJ Brodie finally has a realistic card.

Stanley Cup POTG - 87 OFD LD Brodie
SKT 89
SHO 88
HAN 89
CHK 86
DEF 85

Does anyone else find that fewer and fewer people play online the last 5-6 years?

Split generations.

Some people moved on to PS4/Xbox One, some people stayed on 360/PS3, so the fanbase has been split for this year.

I find this year it's easier to get a game in matchmaking. Not sure if there is less people but they've definatly fixed that issue (sort of). It's still not set up right. IMO people who have played 800 games and are in the top 100 should be matched up against people with a similar record instead of someone who is 50-20-11 but is in div 1.

A player with 800 gp has much more coin to rock crosby, ovi, ext than someone who has played under 100 games.

I don't know - I think if you're in Div 1, you're fair game to get matched up with anyone else in Div 1.

There are players who restart squads, and players who buy squads, which can make a game count meaningless. You make it to the top division, and you should play the best.

I read somewhere we should expect a NHL 16 trailer being released today, hopefully that's true. Has anyone else heard anythig about NHL 16?

I haven't heard anything, but it's not unrealistic. The NHL 15 reveal trailer came out around this time last year.

The first trailer came out last year to the day, may 5th.

[TjRhythmic]

I don't think we're going to hear anything until they can confirm within their own development team about what NHL 16 will be... can't afford to have another release like last year
