i played nhl 15 and legacy, and i like legacy more. It's more realistic and the BeAGM mode is better (better prgression, better draft depth etc).
what really annoys the hell out of me with EA games is that the gameplay can change drastically from game to game:
One game, the players control feel on point, the skating is dependant on momentum and physics and feels very good!
One game later, it may feel like the players react to you controls a split second later, they turn around a few times when you collect the puck with them, passing accuracy is OFF COMPLETELY.
So some games, its the best hockey game i've ever played - some games, for whatever reason, it plays like absolute shit and i want to rip it out of the box and break the disc^^ and it has nothing to do with sliders i change. I play with the same sliders for multiple seasons now
