NHL 15 for Xbox One and PS4 is missing a ton of features. The solution for most dissatisfied gamers on forums or message boards is to not buy NHL 15 and wait for the inevitable NHL 16.
This is not a way to make EA get the message that mistreating consumers is not okay. They should never see a dime from virtual hockey fans as long as they live… But it seems that if you enjoy hockey games and eventually want a new one, you don’t have a choice but to buy EA’s NHL game because int’s the only one available on the market, and no competition will appear anytime soon.
Today Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson provided a look into his ideas for the use of generative AI in the company's development processes.
EA is still a shady shitty company even with or without the help of Skynet. All they will use AI for is new ways to milk loot boxes and come up with the same sports title with a different year on the label. They are one company I truly do hate with a passion. They single handedly ruined some great franchise with their death touch. ME, Dead Space, Alice Returns, Dante's Inferno.
EA layoffs followed by 'Generative AI to Drive Monetization'
I knew it. Wonder what AI salary looks like? Nothing.
And take away creativity, and people's jobs as we've been seeing. Got it.
No thanks. I want my games created by people, not AI.
EA doesn't want to lose their title of worst gaming company ever, always trying their best to remain the champs!
What's sad is that they have so much potential to be a decent publisher.

Remember when EA used to be awesome? It's all over with now. Unpolished, if not out-right broken games these days. Endless monetization and gambling in their sports games, and let's not forget wasting hours of your life trying to unlock characters or equipment using "surprise boxes!"
Gareth, Justin, and JoeyZ look at Layoff news for EA and Sony and reasons behind the downturn in the industry and more.
EA CEO Andrew Wilson writes: "In this time of change, we expect these decisions to impact approximately 5 percent of our workforce. I understand this will create uncertainty and be challenging for many who have worked with such dedication and passion and have made important contributions to our company. While not every team will be impacted, this is the hardest part of these changes, and we have deeply considered every option to try and limit impacts to our teams. Our primary goal is to provide team members with opportunities to find new roles and paths to transition onto other projects. Where that’s not possible, we will support and work with each colleague with the utmost attention, care, and respect. Communicating these impacts has already begun and will be largely completed by early next quarter."
All the big ones doing the same stuff. Terrible. I just hope that all these people are able to get a new job as soon as possible, God know that it is horrible to be left jobless when you have your kids or your parents depending on your financial help
The point I feel is problematic about all of this is that focusing on Owned Ip means more sequels, remasters and more of what was selling last year.
wat wat wat? EA's shortcomings are gamers' fault? WTF? EA is a money grabbing cheapskate assholes, PERIOD!
typical gaming websites always blaming gamers. you know the people who put food on your plate by clicking your troll articles.
Its the victims fault huh? Are we to blame for crappy articles posing as journalism as well?
Remember , they are going to add some features that are missing in NHL 15 , in the near future with a patch ! Also me and 5 of my friends that i grew up with up , are going to have a ball , spending 100 of hours playing NHL 15 this year !
What you forgot to mention in the article , most people who buy EA NHL HOCKEY every year, have so much fun playing the game !!
I'd suggest it's more to do with it being the first iteration on this gen of console for a mid-tier game which wouldn't have a massive budget behind it. And the missing modes are simply due to them not having sufficient development time to get it all down - hence some features coming in the next couple of months.
The 'problem' with NHL 15 is in part due to the previous games being so good.
