Ok so I i bought the digital download and the game installed and then it tells me that it also downloaded the update file and installed it as well. When i go into the game, all I can play is Rangers and Kings and everything else is grayed out. There is an installer that says it's at 5% but it's been like that for an hour. Anybody have any ideas?

One thing that puzzles me. The arena lighting. It's fine but it's all the same.

So far I have been to 8 different arenas and other than the logo on center ice they might as well be the same rink.

Its 2014. We have the technology.

Don't you think if nothing else they could just cheat the lighting and set some arenas as Dim -1 or -2 and some other arenas as Bright +1 or +2 to make them feel different? Just brighten or dim the overall lighting.

I hate going into Edmonton to play and its as bright as playing at the Colorado arena.

Just to look back fondly...In CHoops in 2008 you could edit arena brightness.

So 6 years ago this was possible.

I didn't know where I should post this and it certainly doesn't require its own thread but I just noticed after all this time that in the main menu under HUT it says "Recommended".....LOL I don't know why I find that so funny but I do. That's truly all they give a crap about.

Ok just thought I would update my impressions as this game has greatly changed once again after this last gameplay update on the 20th .

Well after 14 games plus of testing Im happy to say the game actually plays better then on release date as the numbers Im getting are more accurate statistic wise .
And real physics are back especially player collision and gameplay doesnt have any traces of a generated boosted feeling and even when I win or lose most things are smooth and interactive so hopefully no more major updates .

Just picked up this game for the Xbox one for $35 on Ebay. Should get the game on Tuesday. Been a while since I played an NHL game but am looking forward to diving into it.

NO DIVING ALLOWED: the game is way to shallow and you may bump your head....lol sorry I couldn't resist. The lack of depth and missing things is a real kick in the nads but there is decent gameplay to be found $35 is a good deal

Recently bought a PS4 so it gave me an excuse to update all my sports games(I usually avoid buying sports games yearly except when there are significant improvements). NHL was up next on my list so I decided to get it a couple of days ago despite the bad reviews. The last NHL I got was NHL 10 for the ps3 so I have nothing more recent to compare nhl 15 with....The gameplay itself is solid..The controls didn't change much. One thing I noticed is the fact that player movements are more affected by momentum. Scoring goals is still as rewarding as before and the cpu poses more of a challenge when it comes to defense. Im primarily an offline franchise mode player so I went straight to be a gm mode. I noticed that you can no longer control minor league teams...even simulated minor league games are no longer there. This is not a big deal for me though because i usually simulate all my minor league games...The menu layout has a similar feel with other ea titles(madden and fifa)...one thing i hate about ea's franchise mode is they don't allow players to reduce the no of games per season..I dont like simulating games so 82 games is just too much for me...i wanna play all my regular season games....why can't they follow 2k's example? I'm currently playing a 29 game per season franchise in nba 2k15....Im not an online player due to crappy internet speed in my country so i cant really comment on the online experience...

PS4 just released the mp3 music program. EA needs to patch custom music in now.

# 450 leedsbear @ 10/29/14 01:50 AM

guys, please advise on the following, im new to the series and was going to buy it on PS4 before i saw all the terrible reviews.

1) Are all the PS4 missing features available on the PS3 version?

2) have the ps4 patches fixed the vast majority of issues? I dont mind if there are a few bits missing and i likely wont play online but i want a deep 'franchise' mode and a comprehensive 'be a pro' mode. would you say we're there now?

so basically, should I:

*buy the PS3 version because its fine (albeit worse graphics)
*buy the ps4 version - the modes i want are fixed and fine now
*wait til next year

thanks in advance for all info/opinions

# 451 Mrmagoo @ 10/29/14 05:22 AM

I wouldn't buy it PEROID!!!
Why support ea's constant half *** efforts... Here's to hoping they final crash n burn and another company steps up to fill the void!!!

# 452 oaba09 @ 10/29/14 07:24 AM

The problem is, there's no real alternative....2k's nhl games before were not exactly groundbreaking....

# 453 Caniac94 @ 11/01/14 05:02 PM

So I've noticed this in a couple games that, when on the powerplay at least, my team will have a forward as a defenseman. Like one time I was playing as the Flyers and when I was on the powerplay my PP line was:

B. Schenn - C. Giroux - M. Read

and on defense they had:

J. Voracek paired with M. Streit...

WTF???

Why do I have four forwards and a defenseman? Is this a glitch, problem with the roster update, or what? It's just really annoying and shouldn't be a problem.

Some teams actually play like this as a strategy on the PP to have a good puckhandler at the blue line. For example, the Rangers used Brad Richards like this extensively last season. If you don't want to do that, you can freely adjust it with line changes.

# 455 Smirkin Dirk @ 11/01/14 05:51 PM

Yeah the Pens put Malkin at the blue line a lot on PPs.

# 456 Caniac94 @ 11/01/14 06:05 PM

Ah okay. Wow I feel like an idiot XD. Good to know that this is a real thing. I think I'm too used to playing with teams that utilize offensive defensemen, so that just kind of looked weird.

# 457 mattg123 @ 11/04/14 08:57 PM

Your gonna miss some things but great game for playing. Its all the non playing features that are missing for the hard core series people.

I've never played this much hockey in awhile cuz game is amazingly fun!!!

Mattg123

Other years I mostly edited rosters lol

# 458 his_airness_53 @ 11/06/14 08:42 AM

I really think this game looks beautiful no doubt, but I miss my features! HUT is still super fun and versus is good but where is EAHL? That was the best mode in my opinion and I left without it and feeling rather cheated. All in all I am a huge hockey fans so granted I play the game, but I do regret paying 60 bucks for a half of game!

# 459 TexasCaps @ 11/06/14 11:00 PM

This is the worst EA game ever released. How many times do you see players falling on the ice from a hit. This game is terrible and should not have been released. EA owes us some money back.

# 460 TexasCaps @ 11/06/14 11:05 PM

WTF!!! Features this is the worst released game in NHL EA history!
