Except in reality they retired at the end of this season so they get added to the game just as they officially no longer appear.

That's idiotic. I didn't buy 15, but did they scrap the challenge for the cup mode? I used to love burning an evening playing a seven game series against a friend online. It was so much more satisfying when injuries rolled over and the cup was on the line.

The very best part of NHL15's lack of rematch options is that the voice chat cuts out IMMEDIATELY after a game is over. Like, as soon as the final score is shown you can't talk to the other person.

That's weird, isn't voice chat a party based thing that runs if you're in a game together or not?

Or I guess you're talking about playing a game vs randoms?

If you're not in a party with your friend or playing random, he means.

Though why wouldn't you be in party chat with your friend.

Yeah but let's be honest there SHOULD be at least a little 5-10 second window there after the final horn to disparage someone's virility and the one who birthed them. :v:

it's stupid but I would love to have that and your player's face synch up with when you talk like lots of other games do. I want to see Ewic woo when he wins a fight. I want to see him drunkenly talk lots of poo poo to the opponents.

except use the mouth-sync system from GTA:O where it doesn't even remotely match up and just looks like you're going "AYYYAAAAAAAAYYYAAAAAAAUGHOOOOOOOOOOOOOWEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOH" while you're shuffling off the penalty box.

Might be hard to do because I'm sure you guys are in party chat when you all play together and depending on now Sony or Microsoft lays out the api for party chat the developers might not have access to the audio stream.

For some reason the United Center won't be in NHL 16 for licensing reasons. If they can get Madison Square Garden how the hell can't they get the UC?

Hello! I see you.


Cool, another game where we get the authentic "Chicago Arena" experience. :geno:

I understand licensing can be a pain, and missing a couple of the real venues is frankly the least of the problems with these games, but considering how much EA goes on about their "ALL THE AUTHENTIC NHL ARENAS, IT'S JUST LIKE YOU'RE THERE" stuff it's kinda silly when the reigning Cup champs and most successful team in recent years have to play at a fake arena.

It's extra silly when you consider the reigning cup champs are also the guys on the cover of the drat game
