Adam French: NHL15 : The Rankings Don't Matter and Neither Does the Subject

LOL @ the Parros and Orr rankings, that puts into perspective eh French!


Parros is going to retire right??

Go habs go!!

But, Adam, don't you know that game is the Holy Grail?

Hell, that game is how some on this site come up with trade proposals.

Where they always (frank) up is how high they rate 3rd/4th liners. A decent third liner should be like 70, the AHL/borderline NHL talent should be like 60.

you know cordell's got a blog female doging about nhl 15 rankings, right? (don't worry though, it still has at least one list or graph, so the streak continues)

i think you should fight him.


at least he didn't mention corsi or say "possession anchor" for once.

Was it Pecafan that used to rely on these rankings like they were indisputable?

The biggest (frank) up is how top CHL players that could be putting up 40-50 points in the NHL in a top 6 role are like 65-69

Didn't notice that, was just looking at HFBoards since my net was constantly dropping HB earlier, read about four pages of whining and got a little miffed.

Also I couldn't fight Todd since he probably has already figured out all my moves like Kano did with Sonia


(oh baby what a reference)

This and some of the top prospects take way too long to increase enough. 4 or 5 years later Mantha was still barely rated high enough to crack the 4th line of my AHL team. McDavid also took a while to get up enough to make my NHL roster.

Also the goalies blow in this game. No matter what goalie I have they always have sub .900 save percentages and I score 10+ goals per game while allowing 15 shots or less per game.

I also don't like the 5 fights limit per game it annoys me...same with the losing power for wrestling/grappling in fights as the computer seems to only do that instead of throwing fists.

I also wish they would allow to turn off the replays and always showing the goalie after the whistles when he made a save...all that crap is a giant waste of time. Also enough with the glass breaking shots once in a while I might be able to live with but when it happens 3 or 4 times in a game it gets pretty annoying.

They should stop wasting time on crap that doesn't matter and actually fix the gameplay. Slow defenseman skating backwards skating as fast as the fastest forward skating forward

I'll never forget the day I torched the league on sim mode in NHL07 for 140 goals with a line of

It's all about EASHL

"You were out there for a goal against, that's a minus."

"Watch the turnovers."

"Keep putting that puck in the net."

"You got to make something happen if you want to be on the Powerplay."

That's the funniest one I think.

No the best is "You've got to keep your head up, don't let them take the body on you."

Because in EA's world, taking a hit to make a play lowers your "Team Play" rating

Considering some of the commentators in hockey, that's probably taken verbatim.


I'd buy NHL15 on pre-order if they had a "Jack Edwards Edition."

I buy the game every year no matter what. It's the only way to get my hockey fix when the season ends. EASHL is the most fun multiplayer I have ever played in a sports game.

Please no
Don't want Jack anywhere near this game

I don't know about elsewhere, but everywhere I've seen grades an 80 is a B-/B.

I was going to say this as well but I never want the bloggers to think I actually read their article.
