So no online team play besides the 5 vs 5? I miss playing with a friend controlling the whole team 2 vs2 or 2 vs 1.

I really hope they work hard on NHL 16, but I can see playing at least 2-3 full seasons with 15.

You mind me asking what changed MizzouRah?
I just upgraded to PS4 (opening with the kids on Christmas morning) and I'm thinking of getting NHL15.

Was it a recent tuner or slider set that you began having fun with this again?

The last patch did something to the gameplay for the better, much better imho. That and the last tuner together at least make for a much less frustrating game as far as gameplay goes.

I'm at the AS break in my BeaGM and have played each and every game. Start on default AS/Hardcore and go from there - or if you are super good, maybe SS/hardcore. As you can tell from the How's your BeaGM mode going? thread.. I'm having great games and currently in 7th place in the Western Conference.

Great to hear, thanks for the explanation!

The wife and I picked up the LoU, GTA + Digital game (Destiny) for $450.
Now I'm reading that Best Buy (Canada) is selling an NHL15, Farcry 4 and LBP bundle for the same price. D'oh!!

Oh well. I'm going to try and find this game on the cheap and jump into a BaGM with Columbus (love Prout and Johanson).

And I'll stick with AS or even Pro. I wouldn't be shocked if I was the worst gamer on these boards. I'm really bad so SS is a level I'll probably never play on, haha.

Thanks again for the info. I really appreciate it.

Merry Christmas everyone!

I'm sure you can find it cheap... post back once you do!

Make sure to up the AI strategy adjustment slider to match the CPU's. Makes it so the AI adjusts them for you as the game goes on.

Merry Christmas to you as well!

This is good to hear; I just ordered a PS4 today (be here Tuesday) and will likely trade in my 360 copy towards the PS4 version.

Don't get me wrong.. they really need to step it up for NHL 16, I'm just happy I'm having fun again as I really thought I would be playing last gen's NHL this season as I was so frustrated a couple of months ago.

Has anyone had a penalty shot? I was tripped on a breakaway, but no call for a penalty shot?
