NHL 15 News Arrives on Monday, May 5th

[giantsharks]

It looks like we will get our first look at NHL 15 on Monday, May 5th.

Last April, EA Sports revealed the first NHL 14 screenshot, trailer and fact sheet. They also kicked off the cover vote a week later.

What are you hoping to see or hear about NHL 15 on Monday?

It's probably just some EA employee's kid's 15th birthday.

Probably just another roster update + ooh look, we made it look prettier and added a new commentary team! Otherwise, same old garbage. Enjoy!!!

To be fair, that's how most of the next-gen sports games have been so far.
Madden looks to play no differently, The Show is the same, was NBA2K14 that much different from last to next gen?

I loved how different NHL07 was. I was hoping for a new engine for next-gen, but I doubt we get it.
It's too much money to invest.

I'll just say I won't be surprised if the game is very similar to this generation, but with better graphics and hopefully an upgrade in presentation and commentary.
But the AI and gameplay will most likely be the same.

I'm anticipating little, to no change.

It'll probably be a screenshot of a bench brawl.

Didn't mention FIFA 14? I think it changed the most (imo) between the generations.

I feel like the people at EA Canada are just the laziest people I've ever seen. They have barely changed these games nowadays. It's all the freakin' same. There's always one single thing they change every year, nothing else.

NHL 09 - Be a Pro mode
NHL 10 - "New" engine to make the game more aggressive
NHL 11 - Er...Not that much
NHL 12 - A useless offline exhibition mode that they call the "Winter Classic"
NHL 13 - New presentation and colors that just hurt my eyes
NHL 14 - A dumb "new" mode they call "Live the Life"

What I bet for NHL 15, something "new." I feel like our expectations are high, but EA Canada just doesn't answer our prayers.

They had about a year and a half maybe more to make this game.. I don't think it will just be a port, I think it's gonna be a big year for sports games this 2015 season.

[RUFFNREADY]

I am not "hoping", but expecting NHL 15 to knock my socks off! They didn't produce a version for the initial next-gen, so all my eggs are in the basket, looking for them to "WOW" me with an incredible experience on next-gen, in NHL15; giving EA at least a cycle and a half for this up coming version!
cheers

The most significant thing I'm looking for is to see if they make the jump to the PS4 this year. I thought it was odd that NHL 14 wasn't on the new systems.

[BaylorBearBryant]

I've heard a lot of rumors as to what's been updated. Some of it sounds great. It really does. If you can't wait until Monday, PM me and I'll give you the list.

[Retropyro]

Skipped NHL 14 because of the switch to XB1 & PS4, really looking forward to getting a hockey game this year.

This, a thousand times. We need some next-gen hockey!

Re: NHL 15 News Arrives on Monday, May 5th

What worries me is that last year, the EA team seemed a bit miffed that NHL wasn't going to be next-gen for the launch of the new consoles.
It makes me wonder just how much work was done on the next-gen version?

I hope our socks are knocked off. I'm just not going to hold my breath.
