Step 1 was getting online up and running which is essentially Online Vs.
Once that was up and running, applying it to HUT was 'relatively' simple because it's still 1v1 with different rosters.
OTP/EASHL is a different configuration that needs to account for up to 12 user controlled players all on their own console. This increases the likelihood of desyncs, it's a new set of complex testing that needs to be done, there are potential issues around matchmaking etc.

In a nutshell, HUT's online gp is the same as Vs whereas OTP is very different.

So EASHL has no chance of being in the X1 and PS4 versions of NHL 15?
Is Gameface in for BAP?
When you say you will continue to provide updates for NHL 15, does this mean equipment and things will be added as well?

Thanks, Rammer.

Hi Sean,

I know you put great time in getting the detais of the arenas. I would like to know if you went to the point of putting the publicity in french at the Bell Center. I know it might be a minor unimportant detail for others, but I think it's an important aspect of Montreal, being the only place where you can see "Séries éliminatoires de la coupe Stanley" on one side of the ice instead of "Stanley cup Playoffs" on both sides.

Hi Sean, I have had every EA Hockey game since NHL Hockey on Genesis... I would love to help with the EASHL panel when the time comes. I tweeted you from @Michael99420 also in hopes to be able to contribute to the game that I have loved since a 9 year old in '91. Thanks for all of the hard work and the un-enviable task of delivering the EASHL news. While I am disappointed I'm sure that this game will be worth it. Keep up the good work!

Will my CPU teammates still be extremely passive in comparison to the opposing teams CPU players?
Will 3rd and 4th line scrubs be able to do the same things as Crosby and Kane?
Will teams play differently from one another?

I can't speak to the specifics right now outside of OTP but I think you'll be happy with the updates.

Hey Sean,

Can you differentiate between GM Connected and Be A GM, as GM Connected won't be in the game this year. And will we see GM Connected return next year or is it going to be Be A GM from now on.

Sean,

Can you told us a bit about the updates for Be a GM, how is it gonna work? Will it be for adding stuff that are already in the game but didn't make the cut or to add new things? I would like to know a bit more about that since it's my favorite mode. Thanks a lot!
