...of course the only reason I played the HUT portion of the demo was because you could actually play an entire game!!!! "Play Now" only letting you play the 3rd period of a sim score game, very lame!!!

Gameplay footage or not... You can't see that the AI makes the same ridiculous mistakes as last year when the trailers zoom in on some guys jockstrap and show him doing some fancy new dekes.

ok. That was a badass trailer. The arenas look amazing. Pause the video at the MSG arena and it looks like an actual picture. Problems:

a) it's only a couple of people closer to the camera that do a different animation. Other than that, you still see like 3 or 4 people in any one shot doing the exact same thing(although I wasn't expecting all new animations, but they way they talk about it that's what it sounds like they're saying)

b) Please don't make the first person camera a thing again.

c) Authentic arenas are a nice addition, crowds look better. But I don't play the game to look at the arena or the crowds. Show us actual gameplay or game mode info!

You couldn't play the entire game. It was 0-0 and you only played the 3rd period

It's been since the NHL 13 demo, so I'm getting the options/scenarios mixed up I guess... at least the HUT demo you could advance and keep playing when you won. The other part of the demo "Play Now" you would play the 3rd and regardless of a win or loss you had start the demo over again. Brutal.

EA wouldn't hide huge additions. They're not hiding the beautiful new arenas, they're not hiding Eddie and Doc etc. That's not how marketing works. You want to release a ton of information making it seem as though the game is drastically different/superior than the previous incarnation. If EA had something huge to tell us(huge as a good thing) they would've told us by now as far as I'm concerned.

Obviously that's a very negative way to approach it, but that's what I believe. EA doesn't hide good news. Shouting the big features from the mountain tops sells copies, being secretive doesn't. Hiding information doesn't make anyone want to go out an buy the game hoping that there will be some huge mystery addition.

I expect there to be at least 1 leaked gameplay of NHL 15 from the Gamescom floor demo

...just Tweeted @EASPORTSNHL and asked why no REAL gameplay video. It is what most of their loyal fans are waiting for... I know they could probably give a flying F about a Tweet from little ol' me, but I figured what the hell, just for giggles...

Yeah... I've seen gameplay for just about every game coming out between now and December, but not for NHL15 and it's 4 weeks from release. WTF!?!?

It's probably bad, and they want to sell as many copies before people realize the game sucks.

Then they will say they will fix the problems for NHL16.

There is no doubt, I'm preparing for the worst!!! They might be creating hype with casual fans, but all of us hardcore NHLers know what's coming!!!

The one highlight (aka lowlight) for me in the latest actual gameplay trailer, what NHL goaltender lets in a wristshot from the top of the circles on a penalty shot????? I mean Anderson should be 2ft out of the paint and that shot should have hit nothing but horse hair!!!!

They're pulling the wool over our very own eyes. No actual game play footage, no news on modes or revamps to those modes. It's NHL 14 with a new coat of paint.

OH AND WE HAVE CROWDS NOW!!!!

Give me a break, EA. And shame on anyone who buys the BS.

100% correct just like the others said. EA isnt gonna hide big news. There is simply nothing to tell. Presentation overhaul is what were getting.

I can't believe they got rid of the HUT portion of demo like others said I only played it to use some new players and play longer. Shame. I hate the like 2 min long 3rd period play now portion.

I'm buying this game no matter what to play on my One but of course id like something besides presentation. Come on EA. Not showing gameplay is embarassing.

Technically, you're getting a longer game in the demo. Used to be a 5 minute 3rd period. Now it's a full game with three two-minute periods.

Still sucks they're not including HUT and stuff but yeah. Play now is a minute longer.

Won't matter much to me if there's no EASHL, wont be purchasing
