For a low low fee of $25 (CAD) you can mail me your copy of 14 and I will send you a copy of 15 for your PS3.

It may or may not be the same game with different box art

I'm disappointed Bill Clement won't be able to tell us about the 2011 Stanley Cup Champion New Jersey Devils in NHL 15.

I found out that that was a real commentary snippet last night.

Unprecedented Player Likeness
Powered by the same technology that brought the most realistic representation of the athlete to EA SPORTS UFC, NHL 15 delivers groundbreaking player likeness, emotion and animation. From the strides a player takes to get up the ice to the emotion on their face after scoring a game winning goal, the players are as real as they’ve ever been.

Translation:
At least 5 guys might vaguely look like their real life counterpart if you squint the right way.

I found it sad that players looked more like their real life counterparts in NHL 07 and not NHL 14.

They removed gamers pretty early on, at least in the EASHL mode. You just get a major and probably an automatic fight you can't avoid for a total of 10 minutes now.

I don't know what tech the NHL team is using but their head scan technology loving sucks. It's not good and makes everyone look like a rubbery caveman facsimile of the real thing. FIFA is doing a lot better job.

Well that explains why Taylor Hall and Phil Kessel actually looked like their real life selves. :downsrim:

NHL 15's Dynamic Cloth Technology accurately reproduces the thin layer of cured white leather wrapped around the crushed orbital bones of dessicated leper Corey Perry's face. Watch as Perry's sunken cheeks realistically billow in the winds generated by thousands of uniquely rendered fans participating in "the wave".

That it is even a rumour is hilarious. This is supposed to be the franchise's big break into next gen and their PR has been so loving minimal and miserable and I don't know if it's because it's the same lovely game and they expect everyone to buy it, or they don't want to hype it up and have it go all Sim City with a bunch of people demanding refunds for unfinished garbage.

They also made the decision not to release a public demo for Madden 15. If you're subscribed to EA Access, you'll get the demo (I think this only applies to the XBONE though).
I really don't get how this company makes money with their decisions.

VVV Oh, I misread it. You're right:

"There will be no public demo for Madden NFL 15 before its Aug. 26 release, only early access for Xbox One owners subscribing to EA Access, an EA spokesperson told IGN"

EA Access = full game only. No demo. It's literally the same exact thing as EA Season Ticket, just for Xbox One only.

Here I did a press release for you:

I went in to pre-order this turd on the weekend, but wanted to get the Ultimate Edition (yes, I'm a dumbass), but they didn't seem to be able to allow me to pre-order that version, so I didn't (thankfully).
I rarely play EASHL, but the fact they might be omitting it (and GM mode?) is ridiculous.
I hope it gets trashed for this in the reviews so that next years case doesn't have all those "awards" pasted all over it.

We hate features. Take out everything but off line 1v1 with 93 controls.


Also, make menus load even slower. Like, it only takes me like 4 mins to access an individual player's stats. Rammer, if anyone can get that up to an even 6, it's you.

Which means that every useful feature that was added in the last 7 years has been removed and will be slowly added back into the game as 'new features' over the next 3 or 4 iterations.
