Is EASHL in XB1/PS4 Versions of NHL 15?

[McG]

I don't buy this game, not from lack of respect I just play a lot of FIFA (especially Clubs). I could see how this would easily be a deal breaker for the majority of NHL guys. EASHL is a lot of fun and I usually mess around with it during the free trial though Season Ticket/EA Access. Good luck, I really hope they added this in. Personally I can't see how they can't wouldn't, but look at NBA 2K15 and Crews for XB1/PS4. I don't know what they were thinking.

I will be so bummed if this is true. I only play this mode, and it is my favorite game every year.

EA - you have let me down so many times in the past. Please for once do not mess this up for me, include EASHL for PS4

Madden was ported over to make sure it was fully featured. I can't speak for FIFA as I didn't play it on current gen, but I know that game was fully featured. I can't see NHL not having EASHL. That's a huge chunk of their market. It would also mean they built the game from the ground up, which I highly doubt.

We all know $HUT$ will be in the game though.

I'll be super bummed if they do not have an EASHL mode, I seriously doubt it would happen since the EASHL is what attracted a lot of fans and even-non hockey fans in the first place! I hope EA can shed some light on this rumor, either ways I'm picking it up, hopefully the Be a Pro and GM mode is revamped with faster loading menus this year.

I actually think this is more like "How many players can play on ONE console".

I think EASHL will be in.

What's easier for Best Buy? To get more sales later once a definitive announcement has been made, or to deal with canceled pre-orders and refunds if they make a claim for more features than have actually made it into the game? This sounds like BB just playing it safe. I won't make any speculation from the aforementioned data entry jockey.

Even in the past you could play with 4 players on one console in an online versus game.

I'm not putting faith in this being anything solid to worry about, but like I said EA hasn't done anything at all to clear up these rumors and what is out here to be read into either. The longer they sit on their hands the more potential these things have to become gospel and drive potential sales away.

With a 2 year dev cycle on PS4/XBO leaving EASHL out is unacceptable.

QFT. they really should be taking it to the next level with Twitch streaming and more social features.

Considering all of the people who year-in, year-out are willing to spend real money on the EASHL attribute boosts, I will be shocked if EA leaves this mode out of NHL 15, and in doing so, loses out on an extra revenue source.

If any existing mode is left out, I would expect it to be GM Connected, since that is not a revenue-generating mode, like the EASHL has been since EA realized they could charge people for yearly attribute boosts in NHL 10.

i just LOL'ed about the love/hate with the game!

bc thats exactly how my buds on our club feel as well. we love and hate it the same! yet we keep coming back for more, just to giggle at how bad some things are, yet how close they are to having a great game with proper under the hood adjustments!

hell, the group i have been playing with for past 5 years or so is like family. one of the guys was in my wedding, and others on the team was at said wedding!

good times!

I'd almost bet the farm EASHL is in it. The board members would not let a revenue stream go from an EA game. It will be a flawed and buggy mess before it will be cut out of NHL.

I am waiting one more year for this one to get up to speed..

The silence from EA would be a terrible sign if they didn't have an event tomorrow talking about NHL 15.

The EA Sports NHL team better bring the goods to that event (Gamescon) if we hear Rammer talking on the same points he has for the last months, we see another cinematic video instead of actual gameplay, and nothing said about game modes then it's a sign pointing to the great next gen experience being at least another year away.

EA has their press release tomorrow at 10am cet time wonder if they will clear some of this up for us or not. EASHL is the one main area I play on a consostant basis if they do not add this I would have to keep my xbox 360. This would be a huge step back in my opinion they have told us they are working hard to move forward but taking things out is not moving forward in my opinion. I agree with most as I have been playing with guys for the past 3 years and have become really good friends. It also kind of confuses me why other ea games can get it right and NHL cannot. Look at FIFA thay have added gameface and I heard from someone that your online player will carry over from 14 to 15 not sure if this is correct but would be pretty awesome. Just my opinions

There's no way I'm buying the game if it doesn't have EASHL. It's the only mode worth playing.
