New gen. I believe EA access is only available on the Xbone.
Wasn't sure I'm on PS4 , I find the graphics are a nice improvement , it definitely needs a lot of polish but people tend to ignore that NHL series is no where near the FIFA series (and others) when comparing development budget and yearly sales.
I personally have really enjoyed going back to basics and playing be a gm and online versus (HUT isn't my thing).
Adding EASHL and polishing up the graphics / game modes could end up being a really solid game but I'm sure EA is going to find some way to take 1 step forward 2 steps back...
I just want them to stop messing with the good things and keep adjusting and improving the game graphically as well as tweaking the AI...Too much to ask I guess..
