Just over a week ago the first patch for NHL 15 arrived and delivered with it some anticipated content that had been absent at release. Another patch dropped today on Xbox One and PS4 that is more traditional in nature as it affects gameplay, Ultimate Team, and presentation elements. It’s not the promised October update that will add basic Online Team Play and the Draft to Be a GM mode – that’s expected to be out mid-late this month.Â
