Alright, here is what is really bothering me about EA and their production efforts in the NHL series. Why is it that 2K basically has zero competition for their NBA series (I don't count NBA Live by EA competition) and keeps making their product substantially better year after year? The modes and gameplay options make any EA Sport game a gigantic joke (except maybe FIFA). Honestly, I can't stand the NBA but 2K literally makes me want to play their game anyway. I really do not understand why a bigger company like EA with more resources, dev teams, and market share, keeps giving us mediocrity at best. Madden15, mediocre... UFC, mediocre... NBA Live, terrible... and NHL15, a big ol' thundering turd of a game. My problem is I'm a hardcore hockey junkie, I bought NHL15 (PS4) hoping I'd like it enough that it would satisfy and give me my hockey fix (I did not purchase NHL14, just not enough improvement from 13). In reality the game has such terrible depth, once you have played one game you played them all. Plus with EA omitting just about every mode at least in part, you would think at the very least that gameplay and presentation would be jaw dropping. Well it is only in a very negative way, (as in) my jaw has hit the floor knowing that I paid $60 for this game that is 1/4 finished (maybe). I don't care what they patch into the game for the rest of the season. Unless EA starts showing their hockey fans some appreciation with solid efforts year after year, I'm done. There is no reason why a smaller company like 2K can give us such a polished game (and with better graphics and ALL face scans), and EA has done nothing but S**T in our hats for 5 to 8 years.
