NHL 15
- September 8, 2014
- EA Canada
A great game let down by its reduction of features on next-gen. NHL fans will be pleased with the gameplay but potentially disappointed by apparent laziness from EA
"NHL 15 is a sports game that offers multiplayer and single-player options. It boasts 12-player NHL collision physics, bringing real-world physics to every on-ice collision, and features realistically unpredictable puck physics. Authentic player and equipment models, down to details like skate blades and laces, further enhance the player experience."

NHL 15 Review
NHL 15 may be a step forward in terms of gameplay and presentation, but it’s a step back in nearly every other way. New players and those dedicated to the franchise will probably find something to like here, but everyone else will be left with a huge sense of missed opportunity.

The next generation jump for NHL 15 is far from a mind blowing one. It brings about fantastic visuals and more of the same excellent gameplay we have come to expect. Unfortunately, it really is just more of the same but with an impressive visual bump. Of course, the improved presentation is nice as well but it lacks that oomph needed to wow consumers. That being said, EA Canada has done enough to create a very recommendable hockey game, but they may have some trouble on their hands if they continue to provide more of the same next year.

NHL 15 plays a great – if somewhat atmosphere-free – game of hockey, but the sheer amount of modes missing from the package as a whole mean that unless you become obsessed with Ultimate Team or enjoy playing severely limited career modes, there’s very little to actually do. When a publisher steps up a week before a game is released and admits that it’s dropped the ball and will be patching in bunches of stuff in the future, that’s kind of a sign as to how poorly things have gone.
