Is EASHL in XB1/PS4 Versions of NHL 15?

I couldn't even begin it isn't in the game. 12 man physics that they keep talking about would be pointless.

There are still 12 players on the ice even if it's not EASHL, so I don't think this argument works. AI will have the same physics.

I still am optimistic about it being in the next gen game though. At the very least it may be DLC a month or two after release which I would be fine with. But I think it will be there for launch. Not sure why EA hasn't come out and said anything yet though.

Maybe they have everything set up but haven't tested the server load this would cause. That would make them not announce anything. I remember in NHL 12 for a month or so EASHL was extremely laggy and then not long after they announced GMC. That was also in the summer. If they play test server load this weekend then you would imagine something would be announced on Tuesday. Freaking out about it does no good at this point.

I thought it was a given EASHL would be in the new game. The OTP lobbies are always full into the night, and it makes what would be a 1-2 month single player experience into a year-long obsession of playing the game and meeting new people. The fact that this is even an issue this close to launch is crazy to me. The interviews with the development team on this site's podcast (Awesome show BTF), they always say how they are also consumers of the game, I don't know how they don't know the importance of this mode (And GM as well). I still have faith that the modes are in the game, because that would be a really big letdown and loss of a consumer for me. They also touted how the menus would be more like FIFA, so are they really going to have a robust menu system for barebones modes? I just wish they would announce it already so we can continue to hype up what I think could be the sports game of the year.

Seeing on twitter that game modes will be announced "soon".

I don't see anything on Twitter about this?

[tmac456]

there is no valid excuse to why this wouldn't be in the game, but since it's EA, i'm prepared for the bad news

What exactly does "soon" mean in EA terms?
