NHL 15 Available Now for PS4 and Xbox One - Post Your Impressions Here

One thing that puzzles me. The arena lighting. It's fine but it's all the same.

So far I have been to 8 different arenas and other than the logo on center ice they might as well be the same rink.

Its 2014. We have the technology.

Don't you think if nothing else they could just cheat the lighting and set some arenas as Dim -1 or -2 and some other arenas as Bright +1 or +2 to make them feel different? Just brighten or dim the overall lighting.

I hate going into Edmonton to play and its as bright as playing at the Colorado arena.

Just to look back fondly...In CHoops in 2008 you could edit arena brightness.

So 6 years ago this was possible.

I didn't know where I should post this and it certainly doesn't require its own thread but I just noticed after all this time that in the main menu under HUT it says "Recommended".....LOL I don't know why I find that so funny but I do. That's truly all they give a crap about.

Ok just thought I would update my impressions as this game has greatly changed once again after this last gameplay update on the 20th .

Well after 14 games plus of testing Im happy to say the game actually plays better then on release date as the numbers Im getting are more accurate statistic wise .
And real physics are back especially player collision and gameplay doesnt have any traces of a generated boosted feeling and even when I win or lose most things are smooth and interactive so hopefully no more major updates .

Just picked up this game for the Xbox one for $35 on Ebay. Should get the game on Tuesday. Been a while since I played an NHL game but am looking forward to diving into it.

NO DIVING ALLOWED: the game is way to shallow and you may bump your head....lol sorry I couldn't resist. The lack of depth and missing things is a real kick in the nads but there is decent gameplay to be found $35 is a good deal

Recently bought a PS4 so it gave me an excuse to update all my sports games(I usually avoid buying sports games yearly except when there are significant improvements). NHL was up next on my list so I decided to get it a couple of days ago despite the bad reviews. The last NHL I got was NHL 10 for the ps3 so I have nothing more recent to compare nhl 15 with....The gameplay itself is solid..The controls didn't change much. One thing I noticed is the fact that player movements are more affected by momentum. Scoring goals is still as rewarding as before and the cpu poses more of a challenge when it comes to defense. Im primarily an offline franchise mode player so I went straight to be a gm mode. I noticed that you can no longer control minor league teams...even simulated minor league games are no longer there. This is not a big deal for me though because i usually simulate all my minor league games...The menu layout has a similar feel with other ea titles(madden and fifa)...one thing i hate about ea's franchise mode is they don't allow players to reduce the no of games per season..I dont like simulating games so 82 games is just too much for me...i wanna play all my regular season games....why can't they follow 2k's example? I'm currently playing a 29 game per season franchise in nba 2k15....Im not an online player due to crappy internet speed in my country so i cant really comment on the online experience...

So I've made it to the Cup Finals, and they've changed NONE of the presentation after series victories or the conference champions stuff. Great job.
