NHL 15 loses much of the franchise's complexity in its first entry to the current generation of consoles. This may be alright for some, but critics say fans of the series will be dissapointed

Critic Reviews for NHL 15
NHL 15 is fun to play and pretty to look at, but it's disappointingly light on modes to keep you hooked on hockey.
As the first next-gen entry in the series, 'NHL 15' breaks new ground - and the hopes of the hardcore fans along with it.
Devoid of many important modes and features, NHL 15 feels incomplete, and will not appeal to long-time fans.
Hockey fans are better served playing the old-gen versions of the game
NHL 15 missteps badly in its introduction to the current console generation
New generation graphics and marginal gameplay improvements clash with a lot of missing features in NHL 15.
Whatever steps forward NHL 15 has taken in visual presentation hardly make up for the alarming gutting of many of the series' best features.
NHL 15 is one of the most frustrating sports releases to date. The core experience has been markedly improved.
