NHL 15 is the first title in a new generation of hockey video
games that boldly changes everything you know about the
award-winning franchise.
Experience the hard-hitting chaos and unpredictability of the
sport as real-world physics are extended to all 12 players on the
ice, as well as the puck itself. Look, move, play, and think like
a real hockey player with all-new authentic player modelling and
an evolved arsenal of tools, including the superstar skill stick
and vision AI that allow for an unprecedented level of control
and elevated player intelligence.
Take in the emotion of every play as you immerse yourself in
authentic arenas across the National Hockey League. You'll play
in front of a full house of fans created with 9,000 dynamic and
individual crowd models, the most ever in a sports video game.
Finally, witness the most realistic broadcast package to date, as
NHL 15 overhauls the look of the game with the new NBC Sports

For the first time, real-world physics affect every player
through every on-ice collision with the new 12 player NHL
collision physics. Utilising the power of the new consoles, and
building off the critically-accled NHL collision physics
system, every player on the ice is governed by physics at all
times. Feel the hard-hitting chaos of NHL hockey through
true-to-life secondary collisions, net scrambles, and player
pileups, capturing the desperation of every shift.
Real puck physics
-----------------
The puck is one of the most complex items in the game to
authentically replicate and it finally gets its due in NHL 15.
Completely rebuilt puck physics result in a more realistic feel
to every puck interaction. Everything on the ice, including the
ice surface itself, is live which leads to the unpredictable and
authentic puck spins, rolls and bounces seen in a real NHL game.
The next-generation hockey player
---------------------------------
Authentic player and equipment models
-------------------------------------
The next-generation hockey player has been rebuilt from the ice
up. Now player models have three distinct layers – the body,
equipment, and jersey. Each layer interacts independently, making
every contact with the puck or other players even more realistic.
Dynamic cloth technology adds an extra layer of realism as it
reacts to the player's movement as they explode up the ice,
helping bring the speed of the game to life.
Unprecedented player likeness
-----------------------------
Powered by the same technology that brought the most realistic
representation of the athlete to EA Sports UFC, NHL 15 delivers
groundbreaking player likeness, emotion, and animation. From the
strides a player takes to get across the ice to the emotion on
their face after scoring a game-winning goal, the players are as
real as they've ever been.
Superstar skill stick
---------------------
Now all the tools of an NHL superstar are in your hands. The
revolutionary skill stick has evolved to give even more control
to the player. Protect the puck, receive passes without breaking
stride, and discover an arsenal of new dekes, all with an
intuitive right stick control scheme that is easy to use but
packed with depth.
Vision AI
---------
An elevated level of player intelligence, vision AI features
evolved awareness with players reading and reacting to potential
plays. Scoring area re, pass anticipation, and enhanced
team breakouts all improve the flow of the game.
Delivers groundbreaking player likeness, emotion, and animation.

NBC Sports broadcast package
----------------------------
A new commentary team
---------------------
New voices for a new generation. NHL 15 welcomes the NBC Sports
commentary team of Mike "Doc" Emrick and Eddie Olczyk to the
broadcast booth. TSN analyst Ray Ferraro will provide game
ins at ice level. Leveraging the same vision AI foundation
that the players have, and just like a live broadcast, Doc,
Eddie, and Ray will anticipate plays and ramp up their intensity
to match the action on the ice with more than 35,000 lines of
brand-new commentary.
NBC Sports game day presentation
--------------------------------
The most realistic broadcast package in a video game to-date is
possible because of a new partnership with NBC Sports. Set the
scene with the NHL on NBC crew welcoming you to the city during
the game intros and immerse yourself in an experience that
matches what you see on television with NHL on NBC graphics and
branding.
Real life broadcast integration
-------------------------------
When it is said that Doc and Eddie are in the game, it is really
meant that they are in the game. Taking commentary integration to
the next level, NHL 15 will feature real world pre-game video
commentary with Doc and Eddie. Set against NHL 15 in-game
visuals, the result is a revolutionary step forward in sports
video games, where the lines between the real world of sport
broadcast and the game are blurred.
Unrivalled in-arena experience
------------------------------
Over 9,000 crowd models
-----------------------
NHL 15 sets a new standard in video games with more than 9,000
individual crowd models with four times the animations of
previous generations. Take a look through the glass and you'll
see fans hold up signs with your name on them, costume wearing
superfans, or even sections full of team rivals rooting against
you.
Living crowds
-------------
The crowd is alive. Feel the crowd behaviour change after
dropping the gloves, landing a big hit, or scoring a clutch goal.
Individual behaviours are ped to each person in the crowd, as
they anticipate the play, taunt players, clap to music from the
dynamic Jumbotron or even take a quick break from the action to
snap a selfie and immortalise their experience.
Authentic arenas
----------------
There is no feeling like being there, and we are giving you the
best seats in the house. The power of the next-gen consoles
finally allows the NHL franchise to capture every detail of an
NHL arena. Unique arena elements from more than 19,000 seat
capacities to lighting and player entrance tunnels are captured
with a level of detail not possible on the previous generation.
Now those home games will truly feel like home.
