Are playoff beards going to be a launch feature or are they going to be a $4.99 DLC that I have to buy with my +7 Wrist Shot Accuracy boost?

I tried out 15 on the Xbox one and I rather liked the way it played. It played much different than the 360 version does. Granted, I was playing off line away from their notoriously lovely servers.

I'll definitely be buying an Xbox one and playing the hell out of this because I'm thoroughly addicted to OTP.

Speaking of boosts I'm a bit disappointed since I doubt the boost glitch works on the Xbox one version where you can pay for just one boost and then glitch it out so that you have all of them.

I guess I'll have to actually do it the hard way now :/

The notorious teams from 360 era EASHL will be on ps4, even though this game will suck rear end.

This will be NHL 15 with EASHL patched in. That's all they can manage in a year given their track record. Beards will flap when a fly farts in the arena.

I didn't buy NHL 15, but considering most features are back I'll probably buy NHL 16 (mostly because I need some games for my Xbox One). I am a sucker.

Well, there's $60+PS4 cost saved. Thanks EA. You fucks couldn't give us one more year on the PS3? You were releasing EA games on PS2 until like 2012. :argh:

Player morale in Be A GM is nothing new. I remember Jason Chimera in NHL 07 always being miserable despite being on a Stanley Cup winning team.

"I'm invincible! Nothing can stop me!"

"I know I have more in me. I promise to give it my best."

"I'm feeling strong and healthy. Time to push some limits!"

Weren't there even players who would hint at wanting a trade because they didn't feel like they were being given enough ice time? Sounds like they're hoping people have forgotten about it.

Some highlights, because things move really fast.

You can have bumblebee shaft tape (custom color)

You can have different styles of blade tape (custom color)
--i.e, no toe, toe half, toe half (no toe), traditional, everything

You can have different styles of shin tape (custom color, or clear)

Gone are the Potential Stars, but instead wording, which I would imagine goes back to Franchise, Top 3, Top 6, Depth, etc

I would imagine you can customize the color of the runner of your skates, since it is an option, like skate laces

So if I've never played any of these before but I used to love NHL 94 & NHL Hitz (the blitz hockey game), should I even bother?

Alternatively, did 15 become worthwhile in ultimate edition form with all the features included, or should I try and enjoy 14?

I've watched enough CAPS playoff hockey to want to try and play this.

The game's a lot better if you stop expecting to get rewarded for good hockey plays and just with the intent of getting drunk and hitting things, hoping to elbow a few pucks in

Literally unplayable. Everything was buried behind menus that took minutes to load so it wasn't possible to actually manage your team. Every superstar player got injured. Coaching AI kept sending good players to waivers when you weren't looking. A big touted feature, the mobile companion app, was never released on Android.

Never in my life have I seen an idea with such high hopes get buried so heavily by poor execution.

If you haven't played any of these since 94 it's definitely worth picking up and playing, although If you've waited this long it might not hurt to just wait for 16. The games are actually pretty good and you'll for sure have fun. The reason people are so disenchanted and think the game is so lovely is because they essentially released the same game from 14 and even took away features for next gen. Everyone is so upset because they know how good of a game it could be if they just fixed the same issues that have been plaguing the game year after year. That being said if you've never played any of these and you don't know what those same glaring issues are I guarantee you'll have fun. Actually if you take the game in isolation and don't think about where it's come from or where it should be going it's a very fun game.

Thanks dude, this was the opinion I was looking for. Sounds very familiar to my experience with the NCAA Franchise before it died. I'll prb keep an eye on 15 to see if it drops and if not then sounds like I'll get in on 16.

Seriously. Like... seriously... wait for 16 if you're current gen. Go 15 only on last gen systems.
