The gameplay and presentation of NHL 15 are arguably the best we've seen in the franchise.  The new commentary team of Emrick, Olczyk, and Ferraro really add to the in-game experience.  Some AI bugs do exist and may frustrate players, but the true problem with this game is the lack of modes to justify the $60 price tag.  It's unfair to call this game a beta, but with so many modes missing, even though some will be patched in, it doesn't feel like a completed product.  The hardcore NHL fans will pick this up, but casual players may want to wait it out and see if EA can patch in some of the features that this game desperately needs.
