NHL 15 is on EA access so you can play it for like $5/mo if you want. FIFA's on there too.

I don't know enough about soccer to know if it's poo poo. I'm having fun with it.

It's kind of surprising how little graphics have improved in nine years.

Xbox One has pretty abysmal music support compared to 360, unless I just can't find it. I honestly have no idea how to listen to music while I play games on it.

I was gonna get PS4 but it doesn't have 5ghz wifi support and 2.4ghz is unusable in my house. I also really hate Sony controllers. Neither console really seems that good, but I gotta have dat NHL.

This could have been the trailer for any NHL game in the past 5 years.

Did you guys know there's no rematch button when you're playing a friend online in 15? Seriously what the gently caress.

Time spent playing and chatting with friends and enjoying yourself is time not spent buying packs for HUT.

Guys. Don't buy the loving game. I am now on year 5 of NHL boycott. It hurts but it is what it is.

The games aren't going to get any better, just roll over and accept it. If there was some kind of mass boycott they'd just can the series or devote even fewer resources to it (if that's possible).

I don't take a hard stance on many things but pay-to-win is one of them. I won't drop a cent on any game that gives you even a slight in-game advantage but I'll blow ridiculous cash for pointless cosmetics in games that have no pay-to-win elements. I'm gonna be buying some stupid virtual hockey poo poo this year if that's how it shakes out.

This actually has a chance at being really cool. I always thought of EASHL as a microtransaction and grinding simulator before, but now I may actually play it.

It's an okay game, if you like hockey you'll like it. If you have Xbox One it's on EA Access Vault I think.

Are any of you guys playing Rocket League? I know it's not the same as hockey but it scratches a pretty similar itch. I can't seem to put it down.
