NHL 19 Information/Discussion Thread

June 20th.. sigh

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

It's going to be NHL 18 but with a new gimmick game mode, redone scouting in GM mode, and a few new deke animations.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

It goes to show you how little regarded the NHL series is by EA when they don’t even have a snippet of information for it at the biggest gaming expo. As said above, don’t set yourselves up for disappointment and pretty much expect more of the same.

 

[Soedy]

Madden coming to PC is actually huge. Could see NHL 20 coming to PC.

I mean its been the same issue for 4 years now, I'm pretty sure their sales are down.

as awful as it sounds, I hope another team picks up the NHL license, I'm tired of rammer and his shitty dev team.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

I hope they reveal at least some good news at E3 tomorrow, but I highly doubt it.

Good news as in they got rid of rammer? that's the kind of news im hoping for, since he took over the game has gone to complete shit.

Eh, I doubt it. The NHL series isn't popular enough to consider making a PC port.

Man, that used to be the preferred platform for NHL gaming. The addon seen for it used to be amazing, until EA killed that market.

With Frostbite, a port doesnt cost that much so there is a chance.

Well you are some sort of developer so we'll have to take your word for it.

2K still has the license. They released that mobile game in 2016 or whatever.

I do think we could see 2K re enter the market. There’s been whispers before that they are watching the market opportunity getting larger with how upset the community is with the current game, and if it keeps going, they may have no choice but to re enter.

I was watching this NHL video game history thing on 2K7 and 2K10, and it’s a shame 2K got flack for their graphics, because while they weren’t the nicest, the gameplay and players moved a whole lot smoother than in NHL 18 even.

Plus, they do offline modes a hell of a lot better as well.

If 2K decided to come back for say, 2020, I’d almost certainly be buying that game, rather than EA’s.

 

[Beville]

If they’ve revamped BaP and made it a bit more realistic I could consider buying 19.

But truth be told, I might just keep playing 18 till 2020 and then, who knows what would happen.

Jack Edwards should do the play by play, with Pierre between the benches

Hahahaha

Omg please create a down bite option, for this comment alone

 

[Frosty415]

I miss 2k10


Played the crap out of their franchise mode

 

[LamorielloAndSon]

Is nhl 19 even happening? Nothing was shown at e3

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Is nhl 19 even happening? Nothing was shown at e3

Yes. June 20th

 

[LamorielloAndSon]

Yes. June 20th

Still so weird nothing shown at e3 while NBA live was

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Not much new to show off in the form of a roster update.

 

[LamorielloAndSon]

Well it sold Way more than NBA live yet NBA live gets the new features

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Probably because they actually have competition with that franchise. There's no threat of a company taking away their NHL audience.

Madden 19 coming to PC.


wonder if NHL will ever make a comeback? I would go back to PC, the game is so bad that maybe modders can improve it.

Sorry but no.
We can crack it, bypass it (the DRM) but modding frostbite? not possible. Realy we cannot do that even if we wanted.
But NHl 04 has a very big modding comunity. It is considered the best on pc. I have NHL 17 for xbox (who the f*** made those controlls? My left thumb hurts) and nhl 09 for pc (nice ;D). We all want NHl 19 for pc and yeah frostbite is a must have (those crappy details and resolutin, bäh) but i don't think so. the last evrsion on pc (nhl 09) was lacking so much compared with the console version. that was not good.

And NFL is? i only know 2 persons who watch American Football. And those watch only the super bowl. Everyone else watches Baskeball (or plays it) or Fifa. but i know a lot of guys who want to play NHL. My brother and i like it very much.

That's great and all, but Madden is HUGE in the USA. According to most game sales sites NHL only has 17-20% of the sales that Madden has, and this doesn't account for Ultimate Team spending either.
