A new addition to the NHL 15 website is pointing towards December 8th as a significant date for the series when a 'new era' will supposedly begin. Below the tagline is a mention to follow the NHL Twitter account for HUT news but that's the extent of things. That could be a hint at the area of the game that will be affected but it's hard to believe a "new era" would describe something related to a single mode. However this is EA and all they seem to care about now is Ultimate Team so it ca...

Unfortunately that was only the start of what had been stripped out and there would be no getting around the lack of content and options by anyone. The company plans to patch in a few of the missing f...
