NHL 15

12 PLAYER NHL COLLISION PHYSICS With the new 12 Player NHL Collision Physics, for the first time in a sports game, every player is affected by real-world physics every time they collide on the ice. Thanks to the power of next-generation consoles and the critically acclaimed NHL Collision Physics system, every player on the ice is affected by physics at all times. Experience the harsh chaos of NHL field hockey through lifelike secondary collisions, net scrambles and player pile-ups and capture the desperation of every shift. REAL PUCK PHYSICS The puck is one of the most complex elements in the game to replicate authentically, and in NHL 15 it finally comes into its own. Completely reworked puck physics make every puck interaction feel more realistic. Everything on the ice, including the ice surface itself, is live, resulting in the unpredictable and authentic puck spins, rolls and bounces you see in a real NHL game. AUTHENTIC PLAYER AND EQUIPMENT MODELS The next generation hockey player has been rebuilt from the ice. Player models now have three distinct layers - the body, the equipment and the jersey. Each layer interacts independently, making every contact with the puck or other players even more realistic. Dynamic Cloth technology adds even more realism by reacting to the player's movements as they skate across the ice, bringing the speed of the game to life. UNPRECEDENTED GAMEPLAY REALISM Using the same technology that gave EA SPORTS UFC the most realistic representation of an athlete, NHL 15 delivers groundbreaking player representation, emotion and animation. From the steps a player takes to get on the ice to the emotion on his face after scoring the winning goal, players are more real than ever before. SUPERSTAR SKILL STICK Now you have all the tools of an NHL superstar in your hands. The revolutionary skill stick has been further developed to give the player even more control. Shoot the puck, receive passes without breaking stride, and discover a whole arsenal of new dekes - all with intuitive right stick controls that are easy to use but have plenty of depth. AUTHENTIC ARENAS There's no better feeling than being there, and we're giving you the best seats in the house. The power of next-gen consoles finally allows the NHL franchise to capture every detail of an NHL arena. Unique arena elements, from the 19,000+ seat capacity to the lighting and player entrance tunnels, are captured with a level of detail not possible on the previous generation. Now home games will truly feel like home. NEW COMMENTARY TEAM New voices for a new generation. NHL 15 welcomes NBC Sports' commentary team, Mike "Doc" Emrick and Eddie Olczyk, to the broadcast booth. TSN analyst Ray Ferraro will provide on-ice commentary for the game. Combined with Real Life Broadcast integration, where Doc and Eddie will provide pre-game video commentary combined with in-game visuals, NHL 15 is a revolutionary step in the world of sports video games, blurring the lines between the real world of sports broadcasting and the game. NBC SPORTS GAME DAY PRESENTATION The most realistic broadcast package in a video game to date is possible thanks to a new partnership with NBC Sports. The NHL on NBC crew welcomes you to the city during game introductions, immersing you in an experience that matches what you see on TV with NHL on NBC graphics and branding. LIVING CROWDS NHL 15 sets a new standard in video games with over 9,000 individual spectator models with 4x more animations than previous generations. Take a look through the glass and you'll see fans holding up signs with your name on them, costumed superfans or even sections full of team rivals cheering you on. Feel their demeanor change when they drop the gloves, take a big hit or score a goal. The crowd is alive. VISION AI Vision AI is advanced player intelligence where players recognize and react to potential plays. Goal area recognition, pass anticipation and improved team breakouts improve the flow of the game.
