NHL 15 Vision A.I. Blog and New Screenshots

Two things:

1. The snarky negative comments ARE getting old. Offer something constructive or keep it to yourself.

2. Frankly, I don't have the time or desire to moderate this forum with an iron fist. But I'm not going to repeatedly overlook insults just because it's from a "positive" user to a "negative" user. Bottom line... Don't make it personal when you disagree with someone.

I agree with second point, all can be negative or positive in order of personal point of view, anyway actually are the negative comment that someone mark as trolling, about snarky negative comment this is a forum, live because people can make comment snarky negative, or peace and love positive, personal I accept all without insult nobody, but If I cant be negative dont keep to myself but simply leave this forum.

Censored the insults is quite right censoring the points of view also if it snarky, could be tirrany.

just my point of view, back to topic.

Agree on #2. No personal attacks.

But we shouldn't censor snarky comments. They are indicative of the general frustration with developers (EA) selling us BS. People are fed up and that needs to be expressed freely and openly. I wouldn't want to see only positive comments... it would be unrealistic.

That's the type of stuff that goes a long way with people. I've said it on here so many times, people would not be so harsh on this game if the devs actually appeared to give a damn. Look at the Madden forum right now. It's filled with hope and a lot more positivity because the devs have come out and showed they care. I just don't see it with NHL and I haven't in a very very long time. It's probably been since Littman and Richards were still a vital part of the development.

If EA NHL dev team will do the same as Madden - it will take 5 hours to make! (Because there's so many issues that EA needs to focus on that is vital in this game. I am not a fan of MLB but SCEA's MLB TS (RTTS mode) just wow me. I created 2 RTTS, 1 pitcher and 1 slugger. In my slugger RTTS I am now in my 4th season and I dont SIM! In my pitcher, I am about to finish my first season, again without Simming! Why? Even though the commentators keep repeating the same lines....the gameplay makes the BIG DIFFERENCE.

I've been saying all along....remove RAM....EA doesnt see that this current NHL dev team is worst in all sports...why....because its still racking up sales in spite of poor effort. It will take awhile or perhaps not even to have another Hockey Video game...I know that's painful to say....but the best way to get the attention of EA is not to purchase their series. Hurt them the most....by not putting your hard earn $$$$ to their pockets.

How about some improved AI that close gaps on defense and don't leave the front of the net uncovered with two forwards standing in front of the goalie? I'd like to see a bullet for that.

There's no "censoring" or "tyranny", nor are only positive comments allowed. The desire to turn everything into some epic struggle against oppression is what's comical.

I recognize the valid reasons for criticism and skepticism of this series and its NG debut. What I'm saying is don't be a jerk about it or spout the same tired nonsense in every thread ad nauseum.

The simplicity and lack of video support for this blog is interesting. I believe most of the improvements to the game are focused on visuals and presentation, which is understandable moving to the new console. I also wonder how much have any of the game modes changed. I'd like to think the new consoles open up new windows for AI improvements. I guess we'll see, but for those of us hoping for AI improvements, this is awkward. But I come back to a point that I made in another thread, I think these information blogs are more to build hype and sell the game than to genuinely provide information that dedicated users want.

Pokespam works With your back against the puck, chop puck is more accurate than a pass, dominating zone time and dominating passing is not winning you game as much as pokespamming and dekeing solo. Ea clearly knows AI and team sports.
