Steering a long-term team project in Be A GM, doubled by a personal career in Be A Pro spread across seasons, is what keeps the player hooked. Online play renews the competitive stakes without respite. This density of hockey-faithful simulation explains why the entry keeps its reputation for generous length among fans.
An ice hockey simulation from EA Sports, NHL 15 leans on a physical overhaul with new collision and crowd handling, in a more advanced late generation HD production. The puck control, the fluidity and the readability of the action appeal to fans of realistic ice play. A content cut at launch on this console and the closure of online servers weigh. A period hockey for fans of sports simulation and nostalgics of the NHL series at the console's end of life.
