Unfortunately that turned out to be false as EA Sports Hockey League, GM Connected, and some other features won't make it over to the Xbox One and PS4 version this year. Over 7200 people chimed in by responding to the poll on how this will affect th...

A full panel was on hand to discuss the confirmation that there will be no EA Sports Hockey League or GM Connected modes in the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version of NHL 15.

That's not going to work though. The mode is too popular, the fans too passionate, that EASHL is all that matters right now. Even ...

Gameplay Videos Out of Gamescom
A number of off-screen videos have emerged from Gamescom for NBA 2K15, NHL 15, FIFA 15, and PES 2015. It's bizarre that companies allow such unflattering footage like these videos present to become what for many is the first impression of how the games look and play, when they could put out a high quality polished video under their own control that highlights improvements. However it hasn't seemed to do any harm in the past considering this is the nature in which NBA 2K's first gameplay has ...
