Back of Box Appears to Confirm No EASHL in Xbox One and PS4 NHL 15
There has been a mounting pile of circumstantial evidence that EA Sports Hockey League, and possible GM Connected as well, will not be included in the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version of NHL 15. What may be the most damning now is the actual back of the box, found on the Costco website, that lists it as being only two players online. EASHL is confirmed to return for the 360 and PS3 and the back of the box for that version does display the 12 player maximum. The hope would now tur...

Gamescom Trailers for NHL 15 and FIFA 15; NHL Demo Out August 26
New trailers for NHL 15 and FIFA 15 have come out of Gamescom coinciding with the Electronic Arts press conference and the first day of the event. With less than four weeks to go EA has yet to show gameplay or clarify the feature set even with rumors swirling that EASHL and GM Connected may not have made the transition to the Xbox One and PS4. That didn't change at the press conference but some other news was made. There will be a demo for NHL 15 and that is set to release on...

Concern Grows Over Possible EASHL Omission from NHL 15 on Xbox One and PS4
Unlike many other sports titles this year NHL 15 will be releasing on the Xbox One and PS4 will extra development time behind it. That has resulted in somewhat higher expectations, and while media impressions have generally been positive EA Sports has actively hidden gameplay and been vague about the feature set. Only one brief video exists from E3 and the features list released only highlights new additions and not what will carry over. It's far from unusual that every feature being c...

Top Rated Goalies and Defensemen in NHL 15
EA Sports has now begun the process of revealing player ratings for NHL 15. In similar fashion to Madden NFL 15, they're doing it by showing off the top five at each position before moving on to complete rosters. The first two positions are the goalies and defensemen. The most glaring omission is probably P.K. Subban, who despite making it to the finals of the NHL 15 cover athlete selection process gets shut out of the top five. Goalie Henrik Lundqvist + Jonathan Quick (93), Carey Pri...
