NHL 15 for the Next Gen

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

I'm shocked EA hasn't used DLC yet. DLC classic teams, players. DLC goal horns. DLC lighting effects. DLC special moves.

Perhaps DLC Pierre between the glass... And by that, I mean it will be on by default and you have to purchase the option to disable Pierre.

Thank god they didn't add DLC Milbury and Roenick. God knows what they'll say in intermission after I get 10 tripping and interference penalties after the first period.

Nice to see they STILL haven't fixed the benches at CEC. Pens should be on the left side from that angle.

Probably an irrational peeve, but you'd think they'd fix it if they want to go for the authentic arena feel.

Horrible sight lines.

Just lean forward in your seat.

Should send them a message...maybe you'll get a copy for free.

[MRandall25]

I'm sure they've gotten similar complaints in the past, and promptly ignored them.

Because it is EA Sports. They think their poop doesn't smell.

Can't wait to do OTP on this.

All next gen trades involving the Pens players will be routed though LGP for validation....

Any word on if they included the woo'ing for the final 5 minutes of the game as long as the Pens are winning?

I assume you are talking about the final 5 minutes of the first period because that's how early that crap starts

I wish there was a way to pirate this for PS4. I loathe the idea of giving EA any of my money.

It's going to be the same rehashed trash like every single year, even on next-gen. Emrick will have like 10 phrases and a few of his "catch-phrases," but every game will sound the same.

"Player likeness," has always been mentioned as a feature, yet none of the players look anything like their real life counterparts (save for Letang's hair). Orpik from NHL 2013

[skullman80]

They were never going to do player likeness for every player. They did the most popular players in the league. They weren't gonna do facial scans for all the players, just not realistic. No clue if that will change with this current gen of hardware, but I would assume not. It's not just NHL that does this though, its the same in Madden, FIFA etc. Also I think they got Orpiks cold dead eye stare down in that pic pretty well hahaha.

haha yeah, they did get the eyes right I'll give them that.

[MRandall25]

They did scan Mark Letestu's face for 15, so I think they're starting to move towards the realism aspect in that regard

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

How come in NHL 13 they keep claiming at the start of each game that the Pens are a defensive team?

Cause ea aren't sticklers for realism.

I don't know, I have NBA 2k15 for Xbox one, and pretty much every player looks real. Obviously less players to scan and all, but we'll see. They even have all of Birdmans tattoos right, it's crazy.

They do scans for FIFA, but the individual team must be an EA partner. I am a Liverpool fan and they are a partner, so every LFC player is scanned into the game.

2k is not ea. They actually give a crap. I had 2k14 on pay and agreed. They went all out. Hopefully 2k will get to make a nfl game again someday.
