Hey there's new info about the game:

Not even trying to put videos out anymore, this is gonna be a clusterfuck of epic proportions.

And I thought trying to play defensive D was bad in 14, its going to be 100% pointless in 15. :negative:

I wonder if "vision AI" equates to puck getting AI. Now with new and improved "GET THE loving PUCK!" technology. When the puck is literally "right loving there" your player will simply reach his stick out and grab it.

One can only hope.

If this is going to be like previous years, and why wouldn't it, things like "An elevated level of player intelligence, Vision A.I. features evolved awareness with players reading and reacting to potential plays." will amount to one ok improvement and nothing more, never into some game changer like the hype makes it sound. Same with all the other features.

Hey guys! I'm having a good time, what about you?

Yeah, this is a thing they already did and hyped almost to the letter a few years back.

The new feature here is the re-branding of the dpad strategy menu so that now your breakout is called "quick" or "controlled."

Yes, seems like every 3 years they wipe the slate clean and work on stuff that they worked on in the past. I remember NHL 09 being a high point in the series, and than they changed a lot of things for 10 and it just felt weird. NHL 12 was another high point IMO, and than they changed lots of things in 13...

...I quite liked 14 though.

ThinkTank

09 was the best one IMO. 14 would be up there, but the 'puck bounces 8 feet straight into the air and proceeds to hop around like a superball whenever it's dumped into a corner' thing breaks the game for me. Maybe I'm just misremembering things, but I really don't recall it being a serious issue before this year.

So basically they perfect their big feature third game from it's inception then the game after that is going to introduce new big feature and is going to be total mess.

Nice, that'll cover the cost of my EC2 instance. I'm surprised GameCenter Live isn't trying to sell proxy connections for an additional $10 a month. They'd make a killing.

Yet it will still hang on your screen after you change your lines, blocking a corner of the screen.

Although the GCL is a nice perk I didnt expect.. it (tenuously) kinda offsets the price (a bit)..

What is even worse than the super-ball bounce, is they put out a bunch of tuners and roster updates and poo poo, but the bounce never changed.

They probably did something stupid and hardcoded it in to the physics engine. That or they don't listen to their player base.

Probably both. I'll bet the 'being attacked by bees' animation is still in too.

It's like the Goalie is coded to not react to the puck at all unless it's underneath the plane/altitude of the crossbar.



technically like how all the other players but the goalie should react. :tinfoil:

Quick/Lundqvist are the top goalies (apparently EA doesn't watch the regular season), then Price/Rask, then Rinne.

EA teased their top defenseman rankings on Twitter with a picture of Crosby and Toews, for a solid idea of how much of a priority defense is.

"poo poo we need a picture for the d-man tease, what we go?"
"Uh, Crosby dangling a guy. Stammer one-timing through two pairs of legs. Toews scoring that breakaway vs St. Louis. Oh, haha, that great one Lenny took of Steve Ott, hahahaha."
"Hahaha, yeah, I love that guy."
"Lenny or Ott?"
"Either. Whatever, it's quitting time."
