NHL 15 Available Now For EA Access Subscribers, Post Your Impressions

[bad_philanthropy]

A few things I've read is that BaGM indeed has no ability to play AHL games, and no preseason.

BAP doesn't have CHL or sim to next shift either.

Gameplay is great, but it's just not a finished game in terms of features standard in the contemporary sports game.

Should have released it as a gameplay beta. Gameplay is number one for me, but the features give the depth that keeps me playing all year.

So after playing 1 Game now and 1 BAGM Game with AllStar/ Custom (basic was Hardcore) Sliders...here are my first impressions, I'll update this continually.

Bad Things first:

- NO Edit Players, only create a new player!
- NO Season Mode!
- NO Gametracker, you can't see replays or highlights like it was in NHL 14
- NO Custom Music
- NO better or crisper graphics, same (720p upscaled to 1080p???) like the Demo (and only 12bit)
- NO way to change your Face Off Strat without abort the Replay or Cut scene.
- NO Ref arm raising if an penalty is delayed...
-
-
-
-
-




On the PRO side:

- Puck Physics way better
- skating moves looks better
- commentary is better, not like in the Demo (but it's to early to judge now)
- ice sounds better
- AI ..... A little bit better BUT I need to test this with customizing the Sliders....
- Stick handling harder but way better
-

I'll update this...

WHAT YOU GUYS WANT TO KNOW??? I'll try to answer and maybe record some short vids/photos....

Can you jostle in front of the net using the right stick?

I find it interesting that I tweeted this...

@EASPORTSNHL Am I missing something, or are players actually not editable?!???

And the tweet is not even showing up! Anyone else have this issue with them?

On a side note, HB Studios (The Golf Club) is amazing. They respond to tweets quickly, and with respect and concern AND honesty! EA could learn something!!

Haha then you didn't see any of EAs launch games on the 360. Heck nba 2k15 didn't even have create a player last year and I couldn't play franchise mode cause I didn't have enough VC.

Is it true that you can't play HUT against friends?

Didn't they patch in player editing in Madden a few years back? Maybe, just maybe there is a ray of hope?

If this is the case I'll be very, very happy. My biggest gripe with the game has always been the tape-to-tape passing.
