Are peopke seriously buying this game? It looks nice fore sure but it's a step back in pretty much every other area. I'll wait for all those patches to fix it, and even then I'll probably just pass on the game. NBA 2K15 is what I'll end up playing. No drafting no AHL, no CHL, Be a Pro mode sucks now too. 2K had no problem porting NBA early, EA takes extra time and there game still sucks.

I haven't bought the game yet, but probably will when they patch in missing features over the next few months and if I could get a nice deal.

GM mode's trading system still hasn't been fixed. On hard trade difficulty I have McDavid, MacKinnon, Varlamov, Hamilton, and Benn and I didn't trade the Sedins, Hamhuis, Bieksa, Bonino, Shinkaruk, Horvat, Kassian, among others. Just give up 5 things you don't need and get a star player back.

Drafting's much better. Simulation is better, but still not the greatest. Injury frequency seems a bit better if you turn it down in gameplay settings. There seems to be less big name free agents.

All of this is based off what I've played so far in current gen.

Well. Six pack of beer or a pack of cigarettes is ten-fifteen bucks so a couple hubdred over a year is nothing. Its entertainment. I prob spent about a hundred last year on card packs lol whatever.

People who smoke every day spend that much in less than a month spending less than a dollar a day on a video game habbit isnt bad lol

I bought the PS3 version day one. It's pretty much the only game I play, and I knew that I'd get hundreds of hours of entertainment out of building up my player and club in EASHL - even if it were identical to 14. As an adult, it's easy to justify dropping $70 for something you enjoy with that frequency over a whole year, when there is no real substitute. I've spent much more on a concert ticket or a bottle of scotch.

On the one hand, I'm happy with some things. The AI are slightly better (still lacking, but any improvements are welcome). Physics with collisions and the puck are a big step forward. The commentary is pretty weak at times ("geometrically"?), but it's nice to have something new. And IMO, the music is better too. I'll take those over things that don't matter to actual gameplay, such as new menus/intro/etc.

But still, the other part of me still can't believe they had the gall to charge the full $70 for this. 98% of it was simply cut-and-pasted. In principle, it is a complete rip-off, and a transparent one at that. If they had acknowledged that this was last gen and a fraction of the work went into it by cutting the price to, let's say, $50...it would have been far more acceptable. I'd have a lot more respect for EA if that were the case.

But as it stands, I gave them my money (and would do it again), but hate them for it. It kind of feels like when I got my car towed under questionable circumstances. I wanted to kick and scream and punch their face in...but in the end, I simply paid up because I needed my car.

(Ps - Getting my car back ALSO cost much more than NHL 15.)
