NHL 15 Game Modes

Written by: Sean Rammer

Thanks for being part of this journey as we head into the launch of NHL 15 on the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4, the start of a new generation of hockey videogames. We’re incredibly proud of the next-generation gameplay and presentation experience we’ve created for all our fans. From the Next-Generation Hockey Player and True Hockey Physics to the Unrivalled In-Arena Experience and a revolution in Broadcast Presentation, I’m extremely proud of what our team has delivered in one year on new technology. The focus on a new gameplay and presentation engine will not only deliver a great game now, but also give us the foundation to deliver next-generation hockey experiences to you for the years to come.

However, we’re not done. We’re committed to keeping the experience fresh throughout the hockey season, in addition to the roster and ratings updates you’ve always received, the list below contains the free content updates for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 we’re working on and our expected window on when you will see them in the game:

September:

Playoff Mode
Create a custom offline tournament bracket with up to 16 teams from any of the 12 leagues in the game. Play or simulate each game and track player and team stats throughout the tournament.

Be A Pro – Coach Feedback
Get the coach’s feedback while you are on the bench. The coach will give you tips on how to stay on top of your game and grade you on your play.

3 Stars of the Game
At the end of the game, see the three stars and their high level stats. Will apply to every game mode.

Hockey Ultimate Team
Several content updates, including:
• Changed layout and navigation in HUT store
• New animations for player items
• Improved edit lines screen to better identify players that are injured or require contract extensions

October:

Online Team Play
Online multiplayer mode where every player on the ice can be human controlled.

GM Draft
For the first time in the NHL franchise, you will be put on the clock and feel the pressure like real NHL GM’s. You will now only have 3 minutes to make a draft pick. If the pressure is too much, you can also call timeouts to extend the amount of time you have to make a draft pick or potentially negotiate a trade. You can make trades at any time during the draft. The CPU will also propose trades to each other and the user throughout the draft.

——

As always your feedback is fundamental to how we make NHL better and better, so we will also be looking to what you want to see implemented in the game.

Thanks
Sean

    how does one turn off the annoying hint pop ups?

  • Mark says:

    I just got this game for Xbox 360. Every time I try to start a career it says I need to pick a lead profile. Do I need to be signed in to Xbox live in order to play these games? That doesn’t seem to make much sense.

  • Josh says:

    You need to sign in with a lead account so that the game knows which account to save your progress to. You don’t need live to have an account.

    • Mark says:

      Okay, I will try. But where do I find the NHL14 profile management screen? I am signed in with an xbox profile, but that doesn’t seem to do anything. Forgive me, I am not a gamer. NHL 95 was so much easier to play. Thanks.

  • Mitch says:

    I Just got xbox live and I have been playing online team and I notice people have customized people and I don’t know how to do that ,so my question is where do u go to do that?

  • Ethan says:

    I am not an admin, but like SeniorGnu said, just check the forums or ask a question on them and you will probably find more help.

    Q: Turn off pop up hints on the bottom of the screen

    A: Play on a difficulty higher than rookie. I normally play on superstar so I don\’t have this problem, but if you go to EA\’s forums and post a thread/ request asking for an option to turn them off, maybe they will add one in a patch or in NHL 16

    Q:How do you invite a guest as a teammate in vs mode?

    A: You can\’t. But you can play EASHL or Online Team Play

    Q:Using custom teams in games

    A: If you created it AND saved your rosters, when you are picking your team in Play now, I believe they add in an extra league that is titled something like \”Created Teams,\” or \”Custom teams\”

    Q: Use custom teams in game modes like GM/Season/Playoff mode

    A: I have done this before in NHL14, it took me a while to figure it out, I think it has something to do with edit rosters, team rosters, and the \”Substitute Team\” option you get when you are choosing which team you are using. And like i said before it should be in a different league titled Created/Custom teams. I did this on GM mode, not playoff or season, but it is probably the same. Sorry if I made you do all of that for nothing. But I am certain it works for GM Mode.

    Q: Add attributes to my EASHL/ Online Team play skater/ goaltender

    A: From the main menu, select play, then online, then EASHL. Once you are in EASHL select my pro, then select Edit pro and choose what position you are using. (YES you CAN HAVE DIFFERENT BUILDS ON DIFFERENT POSITIONS, you are not limited to just one) Once you are in the edit pro screen and have selected what position you want to edit, as you can see you can change all of his info/bio, height, weight, facial features, Hair, equipment, (I suggest you change your equipment to what you prefer, if you like to be fast use 13\” Radius skates, if you want to e agile use 9\” Radius skates, if you want a good balance between both(Which I recommend) use 11\” Radius skates, and you can also change your stick to what you want, in which i also recommend using the balanced option until you familiarize your self with the EASHL/ Online Team Play. to edit your attributes go to My pro and select edit attributes. You start off with very little attributes, to progress just keep playing games, winning games, and playing good. There are also equipment boosts to unlock/ purchase. I do purchase some +7\’s when the game comes out, but that\’s because I play EASHL religiously. I do not recommend purchasing or using the boost packs, just stick the equipment boosts to get a higher overall and a better skater/ goaltender.

    Q: Season mode in NHL 15 for PS4 or Xbox One?

    A: No, only playoff

    Q: Not getting pre game commentaries or show of stadiums and cities

    A: That\’s because you are playing on a Xbox 360 or PS3

    Q:We need season mode for Euro leagues too! If there isn’t any, not buying till some one confirms that it exist. Also It has to have the ability for two player teams also that the previous NHL games had!

    A: There is no Euro Season mode unless you replace every NHL team with a Euro team. I am not sure what the rest of your question/ complaint means.

    Q:I would like to sometimes watch the game of CPU vs CPU.
    Can CPU vs CPU be observed in Playoff Mode?

    A: Yes you can watch CPU\’s play, when you start your game and the remote is on your teams side, just use your Left analogue stick and move it to the middle or select \”Select Sides\” at any time of the game and once again move it to the middle. and resume the game and enjoy!

    @SeniorGnu/ Josh Sorry for stealing your thunder/ acting like an admin. If you need any help on the site Email me @The5thLinePlaymaker@gmail.com or comment on this and let me know.

    Peace.

    NHL 15 – PS4 – Be a GM Mode

    I just played all 82 games inside of “Be a GM Mode” and I see four random game results in “box score” window, but how for the life of me can I view the entire league schedule? I would have liked to have been able to track other teams in my conference on a day by day basis throughout the final weeks of the playoff chase rather than just referring to the standings. Is this honestly not possible with PS4, but is possible with PS3, that would be frustrating? And now that we have made the playoffs, I see that I have my first round games on my calendar and I can tell who made the playoffs by looking at the final standings, but I shouldn’t have to do that! Where is the playoff bracket? Is there honestly no viewable playoff bracket in PS4’s NHL 15 GM Mode? What a shame!
