Because the defense getting embarrassed hasn't ever happened in an EA NHL game before.

Just them bragging about their new even more realistic and revolutionary skillstick, which allows even more realism than the last time they put in a revolutionary skillstick system.

So you can deke around people with amazing subtlety even though we all play the game with a camera up in the rafters and can't see it anyways.

"With the new Superstar Skillstick™ allows you to stick handle with complete fluidity giving you incredible control using just the right analog stick." - Then immediate goes on to talk about spin dekes, toe-drags and True Performance Skating™ while no-joke showing the exact same animations I've seen since 09.

They're literally not even trying.

I love the intense realism of Bobby Ryan casually pirouetting through the slot then roofing a backhander while the defenders bring their arms up to their chests and fly 5 metres past him. So like real life.

I wonder how successful a kick starter for a new game developed by someone else, based in feedback from gamers would do. I bet they could fund that puppy in a day.

Before they absconded with the money. NHL/NHLPA rights costs tons of money and the development of a large scale video game of this nature costs tens of millions of dollars to produce.

As sucky as EA is, they're all we're getting.

The really bad news for NHL 15 is that Destiny launches on the same day, so like five people will be playing hockey September 9 who for some reason don't like using their console to shoot things.

I generally only ever buy shooters on the PC. The consoles are where I play all my sports games.

That's like saying the only doctor in Uganda is good at selling malaria pills.

Destiny looks the same as that Dust (Eve) game for PS3. I have a bunch of not-sports games that never get played.

Yep. This year I am actually dreading having to pay for this game. Luckily last year I had giftcards and stuff. But, I don't think I am going to be that lucky this year.

The wife gets it for the birthday every year. If she hadn't started that tradition years ago I would have stopped buying around '08 (or just kept playing the latest 2k/sega version).

Question: will us peasants with PS3s and 360s get the same game but without the DCT (so the same game)?

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, you guys basically already own this game - it's called NHL 14. Why not just, as a collective of hockey-playing-goons, I dunno: keep playing that? gently caress EA and this retread-with-a-higher-sequential-number-and-fancy-"new"-video bullshit.



Semi-related: I don't get what all the hubbub about destiny is. I watched some dudes play the beta for like an hour last night and saw nothing, nothing in that game that hasn't already been done before. It didn't even really look all that gussied up for being "next gen". :shrug:


maybe I'm reaching peak "kids these days" old man-ness and have gotten (been) irritated with consumer spending and seeing how people will shovel over :homebrew: for the same poo poo with a different name slapped on it.

I don't think so.

Basically it's multiplayer collisions (bad phrasing), new commentary, and NHL '94 mode. Does that mean we might still get severely gimped versions of the other features? Who knows. :shrug:

I pretty much bought a PS3 years ago just to play the NHL games, but I didn't bother to get 14. I definitely won't be getting a PS4 for the same reason until they show some serious interest in fixing the myriad of things that are broken/wrong/bad/annoying with online play & GM connected. I won't even bother with BAP which I highly doubt has ever actually been fun.

NHL 2K5 was the best hockey video game ever made, sadly the series never updated anything after that and EA outstripped them in everything but franchise mode.

There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part! You can't even passively take part! And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels…upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop!
