NHL 15 voor PS4 en Xbox One krijgt ontbrekende modi na release

Later deze week verschijnt NHL 15 voor PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 en Xbox One, maar PS4- en Xbox One-gamers moeten het stellen met heel wat minder modi dan de PS3- en Xbox One-gamers. Eerder liet EA al weten dat er geen EA Sports Hockey League mode voor PS4 en Xbox One zou zijn en dat Online Team Play pas na de release zou worden toegevoegd, maar blijkbaar zijn er nog een hoop andere zaken die in de loop van september en oktober worden toegevoegd aan de PS4- en Xbox One-versie. Hieronder het overzicht van de planning van EA.

September

Playoff Mode
Create a custom offline tournament bracket with up to 16 teams from any of the 12 leagues in the game. Play or simulate each game and track player and team stats throughout the tournament.

Be A Pro - Coach Feedback
Get the coach's feedback while you are on the bench. The coach will give you tips on how to stay on top of your game and grade you on your play.

3 Stars of the Game
At the end of the game, see the three stars and their high level stats. Will apply to every game mode.

Hockey Ultimate Team
Several content updates, including:

• Changed layout and navigation in HUT store
• New animations for player items
• Improved edit lines screen to better identify players that are injured or require contract extensions

Oktober

Online Team Play
Online multiplayer mode where every player on the ice can be human controlled.

GM Draft
For the first time in the NHL franchise, you will be put on the clock and feel the pressure like real NHL GM's. You will now only have 3 minutes to make a draft pick. If the pressure is too much, you can also call timeouts to extend the amount of time you have to make a draft pick or potentially negotiate a trade. You can make trades at any time during the draft. The CPU will also propose trades to each other and the user throughout the draft.
