NHL 15 Cover

It’s October, which means two things; hockey season has officially started and EA released their newest NHL title. And one of the best parts about this years release is the introduction to the next-gen consoles. Insane graphics and a truly smarter game are all part of the next-gen experience.

Having played a few minutes of game play back in June at E3, I knew NHL 15 was going to be special and at first glance the graphics pop like a true HD game on television. Clean, crisp, and lifelike makes NHL 15 look as if you’re actually playing with hockey player’s not weird pixelated blocks on the screen. A smarter AI mixed with live commentary from none other than Mike “Doc” Emrick and NHL Hall of Famer Eddie Olczyk, make the game that much better. True puck control with the Superstar Skill Stick make dekes past the defense and breakaways as highlight driven as in the real game. Also new to NHL 15 is the Real Puck Physics feature which makes the puck react to the surface of the ice as it does in a true game of hockey. As gameplay goes on, the ice and puck react different. Bouncing pucks, spinning pucks, and slower passes all make gameplay unpredictable but exciting as the period nears its end.

A true work of art in my book, NHL 15 is an amazing title for any true hockey fan or avid sports gamer. It’s a must-have!
