Matthew Danyluik Agreed it's been a month since he's uploaded but he can comment on other videos and rag on johnny. Also his last video was like a 2 min video on a 90 pull... yay.
I agree Johnny works hard to produce these videos for our enjoyment but really guys don't talk about this flash guy we are giving him the spot light because I didn't even know who this loser who before.
Flash wasn't roasted. Johnny made some opinions with facts. Flash had a different opinion and voiced his opinion in the comments section. Johnny said that his points were misunderstood and Johnny corrected them for Flash
Thanks for replying to my comment! For clarification all I was saying is that HUT is the most popular game mode in my opinion. Never said anything about how I was okay with them taking out EASHL.
You fuckin' tell em, Johnny! I respect the hell out of you for doing this, it's refreshing to see someone that will actually speak their opinion. You handled this response video very professionally and I'd like to think you've silenced the opposing forces. Now, can I face Chicken God already? lol 2K15 is out on Tuesday!
2k did a reverse EA, instead of bareboning the current gen they revamped it. You have multiple modes to play and some new ones. But they've scrapped the old gen which I have no problem with. It's old, it's reached its peak
There are two types of NHL TH-camrs out there: 1. Make constant content ,which is for the most part, is original. They respect and don't trash talk other TH-camrs. 2. These "TH-camrs" make unoriginal videos (Pack a day?), non-constant uploading and only care for the donations they receive. For the most part this type of TH-camr likes to trash talk any others. (DontBeSaad, Flash, TacTixs and the rest of that community) You look at the FIFA community and see how much they prosper, not just because the game is much more popular, but because they are professionals and not Pre-Madonnas who only care about themselves. Perfect example of a professional TH-camr is ZwebackHD. He started from the ground, makes consistent original ideas on a daily base but most importantly, he sacrificed so much to be where he is at. My advice, to all those people who want to be NHL TH-camrs, be professional and don't look up to the likes of many on here. Use Johnny as the prime example of what you wanna become
Wow, those guys got roasted like a Swiss Chalet chicken! :P But I agree %100000000 on the fact that I WANT an amazing hockey game. I want to feel like, when I'm the GM, that I AM the GM, with coaches hirings/firings, scouts, staff etc. Players coming to me with their needs/wants, requests, ask about team direction etc. I can literally sign ANY player in free agency, just by offering the most money, when the player might want more security, playoff contender, etc. It feels so...video game-y, to put it. When I play Live the Life/Be A Pro(offline) I want to feel like an actual NHL'er and not some VIDEO GAMER like we have, pretty much since Be a Pro was introduced. Take a page out of 2K's NBA Career mode. Endorsements, advertisements, video packages, interviews, drills/boot camps to improve your play, interacting with your GM, even if it is just the same couple models with different suites on, it felt like I was living as an NBA player. And guess what? This was all in NBA 2K13 for pete's sake!!!!!!! They took a small, small step in the right direction in 14 with Live the Life. The in game commentators would say "(Player) is stepping onto the court for the first time, what a feeling" etc and would talk about your player depending on how they were doing, and season play etc. Does EA have this? No. Just the same recycled lines over and over again. EA obviously doesn't care about the product they put out, otherwise we would have never gotten this piece of trash for a video game(newer gen).
Dude, If you actually get into NBA, then you will realize the many flaws that the game has. 2k14 was glitched like there was no tomorrow. It is just like NHL 15. And I am sorry if I am not from North America like some others
Swedish Fish as many flaws as it has, it's still a complete game, one with a lot more depth than the EA NHL games. I hope 2K makes a comeback with hockey, because EA REALLY needs some competition to get their act together. because quite frankly the golden piece of crap analogy Johnny used was spot on. It looks good, but plays like crap, AND with all the stuff gutted from it, even bigger piece of crap. I love playing hockey games, but this one this year really dropped the ball in so many more ways than just 1. basically, ea needs an ENTIRE new dev team for their NHL series. start from scratch.
You are the only respectable NHL TH-camr at this point IMO. If someone else know of another please direct me to them. Thanks for sticking to the truth and continuing to get it out there, when me or the millions like me without a platform say the 100 things wrong with this game, EA clearly doesn't listen, you have the platform, you are speaking for all of us screwed over by EA this year. Please continue to do so, thank you again. The most important thing you mentioned IMO, and I would like to touch on it further is HUT. It is the death of this game and many sports games made by EA, but EA is a company looking to profit, they are not solely to blame here. Everyone who has spent $1 or more on this pathetic game mode is enabling EA to produce worse games with less content yet become more profitable. HUT is nothing but a cash grab, since they have now even REMOVED THE SALARY CAP there is ZERO COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE, it could be called BuyAnAdvantage mode or YouNeedToPayMoreToCompete. It's pathetic, and everyone supporting it needs to wake up, you are enabling EA to destroy the NHL franchise, and the competitive landscape of online gaming. Just look at EANHL's twitter feed, look how many tweets are about HUT, at least 90%. Legends were just added to HUT, yet the game is missing 90% of the others features and game modes that were in NHL13 and NHL14! NHL video games died this year, NHL15 is HUT15, with horrible AI to boot.
It isn't as much of a cash grab and honestly I can think of worse examples. I played on this Minecraft server two years ago and it was a pure cash-grabber and here is why. This server had hunger games and the games always filled up in a hurry BUT donors were able to kick out non-donors or lower ranked donors. There was a point where the server was so popular, nobody that wasn't a donor could play hunger games because there were so many donors.
I agree with 100% of what you said, and further more, if EA cant make enough money off of the profit margin of their games, then lower the price or make better versions
d4v1dfor3v3r I can't comment on Minecraft as I've never played it. But Ultimate team is indeed a cash grab. Is it the worst in the industry? I have no idea, but the worst I have seen by far. Everything about the mode is constructed around encouraging the purchase of packs of virtual hockey cards while the care of game quality and competitive landscape is nonexistent. All this obviously while ignoring the other dozen game modes which we had in previous games but were omitted this year in favor of Pay2Play, I mean HUT.
Joe Doe I'm talking about a hunger games server. Basically there is a lobby for the games and to get in you have to right-click on a sign that says "open game" but at the same time there are like 40 people doing it at the same time and 30 of them are probably donors and donors are able to kick non-donors out of games. I have never played HUT but I can tell that in NHL 13 it was a pure cash grab but now the $60 player can actually do something. Now it isn't a complete Pay2Play but it was a few years ago.
I do not understand why you say that. Can you play without paying extra? Sure. But competing for the league title provides no competitive landscape for the person who doesn't themselves purchase DLC, especially now since they removed the salary cap, encouraging and allowing people to essentially buy wins. Maybe you are not understanding, as you said, you haven't played HUT. To make myself clear, yes, you can play, yes you can beat even the people who buy an advantage if your skill it that much better. However, the deck is stacked against you and you will lose to many games to people with lower skill who purchase an advantage if you do not do the same.
Fan freakin tastic you put EA and the commenters back in their place with these two videos showing what is needed from this game I loved both of these videos!!
Johnny you're the outlet to this solution. You need to realize that if we're gonna be heard it needs to be through you. And these two videos is exactly what I would've said if I had a one on one meeting with EA, so thank you.
Although I disagree with your gripes about the in game gameplay, I respect you now more than ever for addressing people's comments about your review. I've been subbed since the old channel, and now know more than ever nobody can buy you're approval
I think I represent alot of people when I say that you have the best content for nhl videos. You are an awesome youtuber. Just about every video you post makes me laugh. Thanks for that. Keep doing what your doing and take it easy
FlashDavin criticizes Johnny for making " erroneous turd analogies and taking cheap-shots at EA", even though his comment is entirely composed of Ad Hominem arguments...
You're my favourite TH-camr for a reason, you are honest and have integrity. You don't pull punches and I think even if people don't like what you bring to the table, they should respect what you bring to the community. Keep doing what you're doing from a loyal English fan
2 years later but still wanted to make a point. As Johnny said, he is not going to sugarcoat things because he will lose his credibility. When i watched he's video about NHL 16 GM mode on old gen, he is preaching it because it is actually what it should be. I watch Johnny's reviews because he goes into tiny little details what's good and what should be fixed.
Once again another great video. This is why I watch you man and look forward to when you upload. You actually put effort into your videos and produce amazing content. This is why your probably the best NHL youtuber out there. All the rest are haters and wish that they were in your spot! Keep up the good work man!
The one thing I disagree with a lot is the part where you say that HUT isn't the most popular game mode because of the number or games played compared to EASHL and the number of people playing. The thing is that I think a lot of people notice is that probably 50%+ of people that play HUT don't even play games. They sit on the menu's and work the market or open packs
Johnny is love, johnny is life. I played johnny every night on shootout mode, but he would always beat me. My father comes in, he calls me a bender, I call him a puck hog and he hits me with his goalie stick. I am sweaty now, covered in sweat after almost letting in the superbman shot to johnny, and suddenly i see a light behind me. Its Johnny and the boys, they want to play eashl with me. I'm so happy, i am very excited and we all play. My father comes in *what the heck?!?* He likes nhl15 on next gen, so he tells me to stop, but its too late. Johnny, Rotes,Prey,Dom,kryp,and ray are already skating away. Johnny is love, Johnny is life.
You do make a valid argument, but Johnny basically says that he uses us for money, and I doubt any of us gain any benefit, other than entertainment, by watching his videos. Nothing against Johnny by the way.
In2umniaKillH3r I never said I wasn't happy, frankly Johnny's videos are very enjoyable. He should just be careful of what he says sometimes, even if he doesn't mean it.
Just want to say, loved the HELL out of this video. Don't know much about any of these people hating on you, or the reasons behind it. But the fact that you aren't scared to speak your mind, EVEN IF EA has helped you do whatever, you have the balls to make a truthful video about how you feel about their game. Full props to you for that, dude! They need to hear their game has problems, or else they're just going to keep making crap games because WE'RE all accepting them without any recoil or flak from the community. I have not purchased an NHL game in awhile (NHL 15 being my first in that while), and when I've been told by friends/videos I've watched and info on the net, all the things they left out of this game, I was baffled and shocked. Also, then kind of upset that I've bought one of EA's crap games (one of the many). Everyone should know by now, EA is just a money hungry company that sells mediocre games and doesn't use full revenue or even close to develop and produce the games. When I watched the part of the video where it showed the offsides between games, wow, just wow, lol... Had I not forgotten EA's terrible busy practices, and been coaxed into buying the game because of a friend in the line for Destiny that night, I'd probably never have bought this game and been happy doing so. I enjoy HUT, but man, I feel like I'd enjoy the game SO much more if the broken things in the game were fixed, and MAYBE they included things they did in the past. I think like the saying goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". Unfortunately EA never got that saying,,,
Nhl has the smallest dev group of all the sports games, and games such as fifa and football didn't need large graphic changes. Nhl did, this game was a dev copy, core game with no features.
Thanks Johnny you just saved me money cause I was about to buy the next gen and NHL 15 but the. I saw your TH-cam vid and I appreciate that you told us this cause now I'll be waiting. For next year!
I agree with everything Johnny says about this game. I started an NHL TH-cam channel and got up to 1K subs pretty quickly, but then this new shit game came out. I just bought a damn house, there is no way I'm going to spend 70$ on a game downgrade (not to mention buying a PS4/xbone) so my channel is pretty much dead until a new game comes out I guess lol, I just play nhl 14 for fun now. Please EA (or 2K) make 16 good!
thanks Johnny Superbman for the amazing quick review and follow up videos. You just saved me ALOT of money I was going to buy the PS4 and NHL15 but you have made it very clear that the PS3 version is better now I just need to buy the PS3 version of NHL 15. Thank You
Make a series where you make fun of/state your opinion on comments. Even though you said this video was not supposed to be entertaining, I thought it was very entertaining!
I do definitely appreciate your honesty Johnny, with respect to running TH-cam as a business and not something that you do solely for fun. Just ignore Flash Davin, he's mad because he wishes his TH-cam channel/business was as big as yours.
Why has this become a war? I mean we all want a good hockey game. I'm from germany and I have way less opportunities to get an influence to this game. I like the gameplay (just like BaconCountry does). We all know that there is a lack of game modes. But We should be one community, not the HUT, EASHL, GM-Mode,... community. And I think we should be a bit more objective. Every time I read FB or Twitter comments on EA-Sports NHL posts/tweets I really don't get how some people can write some comments. It's all about "mimimi" (just like an infant) but it should be a comment like "I don't like..... please do...." or just participate in the forums.
I don't get why people think he is so unsocial because he doesn't play with other NHL youtubers. He still plays with fans and still reads most comments, which is even demonstrated in this video. Just because he focuses on his fans who make his living instead of youtubers doesn't mean he isn't social. Besides, Bacon use playstation and Johnny uses Xbox so they can't make a collab.
I genuinely think wanted EA wanted us to buy Next Gen NHL 15 for HUT and then get old Gen for live the life, OTP, EASHL and online shootouts. Thats a disgrace that if that's true. Thats pretty terrible and selfish from such a big well known company in the gaming community to do that
I'm glad you made this video. I didn't agree with much of what was said in the first video but I'm impressed that you defended your opinions and cleared up some points in this video. Gained some respect from myself.
As someone who absolutely hates current gen NHL I really enjoyed these 2 videos. I understand the points the other youtubers were trying to make (in a way) but for whatever reason its become popular to hate on you among a group of NHL youtubers which doesnt make sense to me. Hopefully the Vancouver committee is the first step towards EA picking up the ball and releasing a game with fun gameplay for versus, HUT, and EASHL.
Excellent video! I love watching your videos and listening to your opinions.

READ THIS: Play NHL 14/15 LTL again and fuck Xbox One version, dont play it because we like it, it was more fun to hear you laugh and be happy at LTL than complaining on NHL15
You are great Johnny. You speak your mind about NHL 15 in one video. Then you make a second video responding to the comments of the first video not with made up stories but with actual arguments that support your beliefs. That may be why other NHL youtubers criticize him. Since Johnny talks about NHL games he obviously gets EA's attention which when does helps him out. which definitely bugs other youtubers who get jealous and angry at Johnny because he is talking shit to EA who "Help him out ". No one can blame Johnny at all sure he gets the game early and gets free advertising done by EA and then talks crap about the game. What else is he supposed to do talk good about that crap, no. Sure EA helps him, he helps EA to by advertising their games. And if that game he is advertising isn't good of course he is going to make a video to talk crap about it what else would he do. If he said NHL 15 is great then people would think he is an EA ass kisser and they wouldn't watch his videos which would make him have to find a new job. So to all the people who say that Johnny gets helped by EA and then talks crap about them for publicity just shut up. Johnny talks crap about them because they can't make a proper game. I'll say it again they help him, he helps them, can't make it more simple then that. If you still want to blame someone blame EA. If EA actually made a good game this video wouldn't be posted at all. For all who still criticize either get EA to fix the game so you don't have to watch this video or stop watching his videos entirely if you don't like him speaking his mind. Been a fan long time Johnny and always will be. Keep up the great work :)
The world has been waiting to see this. NHL 2K and iOS on I pad is like NHL 14 with lower graphics. They added be a pro with the skip to next shift. Mini rink. Season made not GM mode but still good, shootout and online shootout. There was never a thought that NHL 2K would be as good as it is on IOS! I fucking love you Jonny! IOS is better than NHL 15 because it's only $7.
I used to play NHL games all the time but NHL 15 has really got me bored and I don't play as much anymore it's so bad. GM Mode seems so bland and somewhat boring as well and the screen really lags. I just can't believe that I went to the midnight release for this game to be just disappointed. I won't be getting NHL 16 right away. I will come straight here to see how it really is. I won't fall for EA's scam again. Anyone else agree?
All of the other youtubers that complained are hut based channels that release pack openings and "totw videos" it's no wonder they're mad, this is their perfect game.
Ty Pro that is true that theyrehut based youtubers but they still have a point. im all on johnnys side on this one because what hes saying is true when you really think about it
I'm on johnnys side too, I was just explaining how anyone can make a hut based youtube channel. Step 1: do pack openings Step 2: make videos about information everyone has access to. Step 3: hate on other NHL youtubers because they arent selling out like you.
Johnny, I've watched you since I don't even know how long. You helped me get through my HS boredom by providing me with endless entertainment. One of the main reasons why I watch your videos is because, as you said, you always tell the truth and you're not afraid to speak your opinion. Despite EA "hooking you up" by giving you their game a week or two in advance, you're not shy in telling it as it is. Do you benefit from EA using you to promote their game, yes absolutely. But that is like getting the questions to an exam before the test and using them to study. It would be stupid not to take advantage of it. That is exactly what Johnny is doing here. He helped EA out with tutorials, and now Johnny is simply using that to his advantage. Good for you Johnny! NHL 15 for Xbox One/PS4 is an absolute disaster of a game (for all the reasons mentioned previously). There is no excuse after not immediately putting NHL 14 on next gen. Was it the right move... absolutely. But after playing NHL 15 it is clear that they did not take advantage of the time they had to optimize this game. The game looks beautiful, and it is a great foundation, however, that is all it is... a foundation. Hoping for the best next year for NHL 16
Love the review. I want to take this opportunity to denounce how EA official NHL forums will delete and ban all similar complaints to this one despite them being truthful while allowing abusive community members (including the mods themselves) to bully, troll and harass anyone who has a negative opinion on the game regardless of how constructive the opinion is. Probably a lot of the same abusive mods and protected regulars on the nhl forums trying to generate hate momentum here too. Mostly people who get the game for free.
All I'm going to say is this, you said that you and EA have a business relationship and that's fair. But when EA provides you games weeks early and lets you have multiple videos up at midnight of a brand new game and you say they don't help you? Come on. I think it's well known how many views and subscribers having 10+ videos up of a brand new game at midnight that nobody else can upload. Like I said before I respect the hell out of you for getting to where you are but I do not think that without EA helping you out by giving you NHL 13, NHL 14 and even NHL 15. It's sad to see that EA is helping you out and you just disrespect them and are very ungrateful
He never said thay they fully don't help him. He said they're both businesses that helps him advertise his channel for free. He just doesn't get paid by them. Also he deserves to get the game early how much he breaks it down and picks out the good and the bad.
#shotsfired I respect you saad and Johnny but idk if either of you are right. I really think that the nhl series needs a reboot. That's what nhl15 on next gen was supposed to be but they did not live up to expectations. They need to focus on what the community wants...they should have a huge vote where everyone can participate to determine what is put in nhl16.
It takes guts to expose flaws in a game that helps support you in real life, hockey fans voicing their opinion on NHL are what is going to hopefully motivate EA to make the NHL games better,otherwise they are gonna lose lots of money
So much hate, so little time to read it all. 1 vs 140k, very mature of you all to take shots in the comment section. One thing I have definitely learned though, is Johnny isn't always right, but he sure as hell is never wrong. ;)
"Very mature of you all to take shots in the comment section". LMFAO. Isn't that exactly what you did against johnny in his original video review? You are such a hypocrite. Did you even watch this video? It's so obvious the only thing you have "gripes" with is johnny's success as a youtuber. Just take this roasting like a man and try to think before you comment next time.
people could've respected your opinion if you actually had an opinion about the video. instead you decided to try and take shots at johnny and he roasted you. why don't you just go make a video. oh wait....
I would still buy yjis game still qhen I get my ps4 but after watching this video I agree with everythng u said love ur videos because u go into depth in everyone of ur videos
thanks for another great video johnny. I agree with ur quick review video on everything u said. I also agree with this video because Ik where ur coming from. I've been a subscriber for 8-10 months now and I love every video that u out. P.S. More EASHL lol
Ignorant comment. Why are there so many nerdy people playing specifically minecraft then? And don't say that it's just a coincidence or because there are more nerds than hockey fans because that's ridiculous. Minecraft is simply a good game, objectively. I don't play it myself but you have many different options in the game, addicting factors, few bugs yet an ongoing developing product etc etc.. I'm not even that big of a hockey fan myself, but I tend to buy NHL because it's usually a fun game. NHL 15 on next gen however drives me insane with laggy menus, very bad content and just generally a poor gaming experience. It's not the amount of "nerds" or hockey fans that determines if a game is good or not..
great review video and nice follow up. I totally agree with you and it baffles me how some people don't understand/argue with what you're saying when you lay out the evidence so clearly
Johnny, you made a very good point in this video that you didn't sugar coat anything about the game, that itself made me trust you a lot more and have a lot of faith in you, every point you made was valid. Also, a good point is that you said you weren't trashing EA, you just didn't like the new game, you are very smart, that's why I watch you, you are entertaining and smart
The NHL games won't get as much hype like games like Minecraft or Call of Duty unless if the popularity of hockey explodes. One suggestion I would make to EA is to utilize the Xbox Kinect and the PS Move. Think about playing goalie using the Kinect/Move, that would make the series so much better.
I agree with the Minecraft - NHL 15 comparison you made. I play Minecraft, it is one of my favorite games and it plays WAY better than the Xbox ONE/PS4 version of NHL 15 BUT it looks a lot worse (unless if you have installed a resource pack).
This was the height and peak of TH-cam Hockey Drama
It literally made FlashDavin end it all!
One of the best/most professional youtubers I've ever seen I have a lot of respect for you
Lol flash got owned. Thinks he's great with his 5k sub's ha
Lol and he never uploads either
Matthew Danyluik Agreed it's been a month since he's uploaded but he can comment on other videos and rag on johnny. Also his last video was like a 2 min video on a 90 pull... yay.
I agree Johnny works hard to produce these videos for our enjoyment but really guys don't talk about this flash guy we are giving him the spot light because I didn't even know who this loser who before.
more than you have, isn't it?
I'm looking for your subs like "Where they at though?"
FlashDavin got roasted lol
He should make a series where he just rips on all the stupid comments
R Hall I'd watch that
somebody get the ice
Flash wasn't roasted. Johnny made some opinions with facts. Flash had a different opinion and voiced his opinion in the comments section. Johnny said that his points were misunderstood and Johnny corrected them for Flash
Nah Flash got roasted
Thanks for replying to my comment! For clarification all I was saying is that HUT is the most popular game mode in my opinion. Never said anything about how I was okay with them taking out EASHL.
Ur a sweetheart
FUCK YOU
Hut might be the most popular but eashl is the best.
Chief.
bae
You fuckin' tell em, Johnny! I respect the hell out of you for doing this, it's refreshing to see someone that will actually speak their opinion. You handled this response video very professionally and I'd like to think you've silenced the opposing forces.
Now, can I face Chicken God already? lol 2K15 is out on Tuesday!
Agreed so annoying to see other nhl youtubers shitting on Johnny for no good reason other then they think he doesn't respect ea.
2k did a reverse EA, instead of bareboning the current gen they revamped it. You have multiple modes to play and some new ones. But they've scrapped the old gen which I have no problem with. It's old, it's reached its peak
EA shit the bed hard
***** No, it hasn't even come out yet, only on old gen, and old gen sucks.
***** Not at all, on current gen, you get my career mode, amazing graphics and a lot of other things, look at the making-ofs
This is why John has a ton more subs than all the other NHL TH-camrs
There are two types of NHL TH-camrs out there:
1. Make constant content ,which is for the most part, is original. They respect and don't trash talk other TH-camrs.
2. These "TH-camrs" make unoriginal videos (Pack a day?), non-constant uploading and only care for the donations they receive. For the most part this type of TH-camr likes to trash talk any others. (DontBeSaad, Flash, TacTixs and the rest of that community)
You look at the FIFA community and see how much they prosper, not just because the game is much more popular, but because they are professionals and not Pre-Madonnas who only care about themselves. Perfect example of a professional TH-camr is ZwebackHD. He started from the ground, makes consistent original ideas on a daily base but most importantly, he sacrificed so much to be where he is at.
My advice, to all those people who want to be NHL TH-camrs, be professional and don't look up to the likes of many on here. Use Johnny as the prime example of what you wanna become
this comment needs more likes
Daniel Dosso haha thanks man. This community is horrid. If you wanna see how bad it is, try looking at all the HUT thirsty kids on Twitter
Funny coming back to this seeing how right Johnny was & how far off the naysayers were.
Lol Johnny torched flashdavins ass lol
Let's all just be friends here.
aayyee tech
Tech you're a good guy unlike some other youtubers here
Yea cuz he's good guy tech
You the real grown up here XTech!
#goodguytech
if the qucik review and follow up total 35 minutes, then i expect the full review to have a blue ray release on dvd
Lol don't see too many of the nhl youtubers commenting now. YOU HAVE BEEN SILENCED!!
They're too busy spending hundreds of dollars trying to get a virtual card in a video game.
Wow, those guys got roasted like a Swiss Chalet chicken! :P
But I agree %100000000 on the fact that I WANT an amazing hockey game. I want to feel like, when I'm the GM, that I AM the GM, with coaches hirings/firings, scouts, staff etc. Players coming to me with their needs/wants, requests, ask about team direction etc. I can literally sign ANY player in free agency, just by offering the most money, when the player might want more security, playoff contender, etc. It feels so...video game-y, to put it.
When I play Live the Life/Be A Pro(offline) I want to feel like an actual NHL'er and not some VIDEO GAMER like we have, pretty much since Be a Pro was introduced. Take a page out of 2K's NBA Career mode. Endorsements, advertisements, video packages, interviews, drills/boot camps to improve your play, interacting with your GM, even if it is just the same couple models with different suites on, it felt like I was living as an NBA player. And guess what? This was all in NBA 2K13 for pete's sake!!!!!!! They took a small, small step in the right direction in 14 with Live the Life.
The in game commentators would say "(Player) is stepping onto the court for the first time, what a feeling" etc and would talk about your player depending on how they were doing, and season play etc. Does EA have this? No. Just the same recycled lines over and over again.
EA obviously doesn't care about the product they put out, otherwise we would have never gotten this piece of trash for a video game(newer gen).
Your totally right when you compare nba 2k14 or even 15 this game looks like crap.
Albert Fang nba 2k is just as back if not worse. So don't get your hopes up
Swedish Fish
Says the guy who can't even come up with an explanation or even spell bad idiot.
Dude, If you actually get into NBA, then you will realize the many flaws that the game has. 2k14 was glitched like there was no tomorrow. It is just like NHL 15. And I am sorry if I am not from North America like some others
Swedish Fish as many flaws as it has, it's still a complete game, one with a lot more depth than the EA NHL games. I hope 2K makes a comeback with hockey, because EA REALLY needs some competition to get their act together. because quite frankly the golden piece of crap analogy Johnny used was spot on. It looks good, but plays like crap, AND with all the stuff gutted from it, even bigger piece of crap.
I love playing hockey games, but this one this year really dropped the ball in so many more ways than just 1.
basically, ea needs an ENTIRE new dev team for their NHL series. start from scratch.
Kinda funny how this videos length is a full hockey period
Great review! Thanks for the shout out in your video!
You are the only respectable NHL TH-camr at this point IMO. If someone else know of another please direct me to them.
Thanks for sticking to the truth and continuing to get it out there, when me or the millions like me without a platform say the 100 things wrong with this game, EA clearly doesn't listen, you have the platform, you are speaking for all of us screwed over by EA this year. Please continue to do so, thank you again.
The most important thing you mentioned IMO, and I would like to touch on it further is HUT. It is the death of this game and many sports games made by EA, but EA is a company looking to profit, they are not solely to blame here. Everyone who has spent $1 or more on this pathetic game mode is enabling EA to produce worse games with less content yet become more profitable. HUT is nothing but a cash grab, since they have now even REMOVED THE SALARY CAP there is ZERO COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE, it could be called BuyAnAdvantage mode or YouNeedToPayMoreToCompete. It's pathetic, and everyone supporting it needs to wake up, you are enabling EA to destroy the NHL franchise, and the competitive landscape of online gaming. Just look at EANHL's twitter feed, look how many tweets are about HUT, at least 90%. Legends were just added to HUT, yet the game is missing 90% of the others features and game modes that were in NHL13 and NHL14! NHL video games died this year, NHL15 is HUT15, with horrible AI to boot.
It isn't as much of a cash grab and honestly I can think of worse examples. I played on this Minecraft server two years ago and it was a pure cash-grabber and here is why. This server had hunger games and the games always filled up in a hurry BUT donors were able to kick out non-donors or lower ranked donors. There was a point where the server was so popular, nobody that wasn't a donor could play hunger games because there were so many donors.
I agree with 100% of what you said, and further more, if EA cant make enough money off of the profit margin of their games, then lower the price or make better versions
d4v1dfor3v3r I can't comment on Minecraft as I've never played it. But Ultimate team is indeed a cash grab. Is it the worst in the industry? I have no idea, but the worst I have seen by far. Everything about the mode is constructed around encouraging the purchase of packs of virtual hockey cards while the care of game quality and competitive landscape is nonexistent. All this obviously while ignoring the other dozen game modes which we had in previous games but were omitted this year in favor of Pay2Play, I mean HUT.
Joe Doe I'm talking about a hunger games server. Basically there is a lobby for the games and to get in you have to right-click on a sign that says "open game" but at the same time there are like 40 people doing it at the same time and 30 of them are probably donors and donors are able to kick non-donors out of games. I have never played HUT but I can tell that in NHL 13 it was a pure cash grab but now the $60 player can actually do something. Now it isn't a complete Pay2Play but it was a few years ago.
I do not understand why you say that. Can you play without paying extra? Sure. But competing for the league title provides no competitive landscape for the person who doesn't themselves purchase DLC, especially now since they removed the salary cap, encouraging and allowing people to essentially buy wins. Maybe you are not understanding, as you said, you haven't played HUT.
To make myself clear, yes, you can play, yes you can beat even the people who buy an advantage if your skill it that much better. However, the deck is stacked against you and you will lose to many games to people with lower skill who purchase an advantage if you do not do the same.
Johnny, start a series where you just tackle stupid comments. We'd all love that!
6 years later still the same problems
Johnny's 26? Huh, I thought he was a bit younger for some reason.
I thought he was 22 or 23
Same here, haha.
Must be new-ish
Not really. I've been subbed to Johnny since his NHL 11 vids, I just never knew how old he was. :P
He's mentioned it before
Johnny just roasted everyone hahaha. I respect his skills in the arguing department
Fan freakin tastic you put EA and the commenters back in their place with these two videos showing what is needed from this game I loved both of these videos!!
This game is more of a let down than being a leafs fan
You mean islanders
- demon__killer163 who finished higher in points again?
Johnny you're the outlet to this solution. You need to realize that if we're gonna be heard it needs to be through you. And these two videos is exactly what I would've said if I had a one on one meeting with EA, so thank you.
FlashDavin: *exists*
Johnny Superbman: I'm about to end this man's whole career
You have got balls Johnny and I respect you for exposing your opinion
Johnny killed this.
Your move Flash? #checkmate
Lmfao XD
NHL 15 is poo.. LETS GO #NHL16
ManOfTheRitt nhl 16 sucks
Although I disagree with your gripes about the in game gameplay, I respect you now more than ever for addressing people's comments about your review. I've been subbed since the old channel, and now know more than ever nobody can buy you're approval
Best part of NHL 15 was when I sold it and got my money back.
I think I represent alot of people when I say that you have the best content for nhl videos. You are an awesome youtuber. Just about every video you post makes me laugh. Thanks for that. Keep doing what your doing and take it easy
Agreed man :)
Johnny for president!
That is a fantastic response to a very good, honest review great job Johnny
FlashDavin criticizes Johnny for making " erroneous turd analogies and taking cheap-shots at EA", even though his comment is entirely composed of Ad Hominem arguments...
You're my favourite TH-camr for a reason, you are honest and have integrity. You don't pull punches and I think even if people don't like what you bring to the table, they should respect what you bring to the community. Keep doing what you're doing from a loyal English fan
I find it hilarious that all the TH-camrs Sponsored by EA Are Defending The game.
2 years later but still wanted to make a point. As Johnny said, he is not going to sugarcoat things because he will lose his credibility. When i watched he's video about NHL 16 GM mode on old gen, he is preaching it because it is actually what it should be. I watch Johnny's reviews because he goes into tiny little details what's good and what should be fixed.
Some kids just need to shut the fuck up. Holy ass who cares if you don't agree with Johnny. Keep up the great work john!
Once again another great video. This is why I watch you man and look forward to when you upload. You actually put effort into your videos and produce amazing content. This is why your probably the best NHL youtuber out there. All the rest are haters and wish that they were in your spot! Keep up the good work man!
The one thing I disagree with a lot is the part where you say that HUT isn't the most popular game mode because of the number or games played compared to EASHL and the number of people playing. The thing is that I think a lot of people notice is that probably 50%+ of people that play HUT don't even play games. They sit on the menu's and work the market or open packs
you made solid points, none of the arguments presented against you were valid. Keep it up!
Johnny saved me from buying NHL 15 and a PS4... Thanks:)
Your still the best TH-camr ever
Johnny you are a great example of wat gaming reviews should be the truth
Johnny is love, johnny is life. I played johnny every night on shootout mode, but he would always beat me. My father comes in, he calls me a bender, I call him a puck hog and he hits me with his goalie stick. I am sweaty now, covered in sweat after almost letting in the superbman shot to johnny, and suddenly i see a light behind me. Its Johnny and the boys, they want to play eashl with me. I'm so happy, i am very excited and we all play. My father comes in *what the heck?!?* He likes nhl15 on next gen, so he tells me to stop, but its too late. Johnny, Rotes,Prey,Dom,kryp,and ray are already skating away.
Johnny is love, Johnny is life.
WTF.
Thank you Johnny for speaking up for the community! Hopefully EA listens to the message and does something about it!
Johnny is like the Don Cherry of EA NHL
Like I preach to my wife on a daily bases, " Practical over Pretty " thats all EA needs to learn.
Am I the only one who noticed that he flat out stated that he takes advantage of us viewers? Love you too, Johnny.
So your saying viewers don't take advantage of him? Getting free entertainment is taking advantage of him, or am I just I dumbass?
No one force you to watch his videos, if you ain't happy just don't watch any.
You do make a valid argument, but Johnny basically says that he uses us for money, and I doubt any of us gain any benefit, other than entertainment, by watching his videos. Nothing against Johnny by the way.
In2umniaKillH3r I never said I wasn't happy, frankly Johnny's videos are very enjoyable. He should just be careful of what he says sometimes, even if he doesn't mean it.
we get free entertainment and he gets money. Isn't it a win win situation?
Just want to say, loved the HELL out of this video.
Don't know much about any of these people hating on you, or the reasons behind it. But the fact that you aren't scared to speak your mind, EVEN IF EA has helped you do whatever, you have the balls to make a truthful video about how you feel about their game. Full props to you for that, dude! They need to hear their game has problems, or else they're just going to keep making crap games because WE'RE all accepting them without any recoil or flak from the community.
I have not purchased an NHL game in awhile (NHL 15 being my first in that while), and when I've been told by friends/videos I've watched and info on the net, all the things they left out of this game, I was baffled and shocked. Also, then kind of upset that I've bought one of EA's crap games (one of the many). Everyone should know by now, EA is just a money hungry company that sells mediocre games and doesn't use full revenue or even close to develop and produce the games. When I watched the part of the video where it showed the offsides between games, wow, just wow, lol...
Had I not forgotten EA's terrible busy practices, and been coaxed into buying the game because of a friend in the line for Destiny that night, I'd probably never have bought this game and been happy doing so.
I enjoy HUT, but man, I feel like I'd enjoy the game SO much more if the broken things in the game were fixed, and MAYBE they included things they did in the past.
I think like the saying goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". Unfortunately EA never got that saying,,,
Nhl has the smallest dev group of all the sports games, and games such as fifa and football didn't need large graphic changes. Nhl did, this game was a dev copy, core game with no features.
Thanks Johnny you just saved me money cause I was about to buy the next gen and NHL 15 but the. I saw your TH-cam vid and I appreciate that you told us this cause now I'll be waiting. For next year!
I agree with everything Johnny says about this game. I started an NHL TH-cam channel and got up to 1K subs pretty quickly, but then this new shit game came out. I just bought a damn house, there is no way I'm going to spend 70$ on a game downgrade (not to mention buying a PS4/xbone) so my channel is pretty much dead until a new game comes out I guess lol, I just play nhl 14 for fun now. Please EA (or 2K) make 16 good!
Hoof. Video pls? :'(
thanks Johnny Superbman for the amazing quick review and follow up videos. You just saved me ALOT of money I was going to buy the PS4 and NHL15 but you have made it very clear that the PS3 version is better now I just need to buy the PS3 version of NHL 15. Thank You
Make a series where you make fun of/state your opinion on comments. Even though you said this video was not supposed to be entertaining, I thought it was very entertaining!
I do definitely appreciate your honesty Johnny, with respect to running TH-cam as a business and not something that you do solely for fun. Just ignore Flash Davin, he's mad because he wishes his TH-cam channel/business was as big as yours.
Yeah he's just a copy cat youtuber doing pack openings.
No response to Bacon's video on your review?
I used to enjoy bacon country for his trolling videos, really has gone down hill lately tho.
He can't do trolling because es made agaist game he didn't want to go back and play nhl 14 for another year so there is really no way to trolll
Bacon had a video?
He doesn't even know Bacon exists
Radko Gudas You damn right chief.
15:45, i hope nhl 2k series comes back, nhl 14 is my all-time favorite hockey games of all time.
Can we expect a Quick Review Follow Up Follow Up???
You're the man Johnny. You're a real person who posts videos on TH-cam and are loyal to the people who follow your channel.
Why has this become a war?
I mean we all want a good hockey game.
I'm from germany and I have way less opportunities to get an influence to this game.
I like the gameplay (just like BaconCountry does).
We all know that there is a lack of game modes.
But We should be one community, not the HUT, EASHL, GM-Mode,... community.
And I think we should be a bit more objective. Every time I read FB or Twitter comments on EA-Sports NHL posts/tweets I really don't get how some people can write some comments. It's all about "mimimi" (just like an infant) but it should be a comment like "I don't like..... please do...." or just participate in the forums.
bacon country is just kissing ea ass
somegg person you don't know if he hates anyone because he's not social
I don't get why people think he is so unsocial because he doesn't play with other NHL youtubers. He still plays with fans and still reads most comments, which is even demonstrated in this video. Just because he focuses on his fans who make his living instead of youtubers doesn't mean he isn't social. Besides, Bacon use playstation and Johnny uses Xbox so they can't make a collab.
Sometimes it takes an unlikely hero to bring peace. I agree dude, but some fo these guys need to reaaally take a look at themselves and grow up.
Coach McDingleMyBerries Keep fan boying the dude is a rat.
this is actually good, we have a lot of people voicing out opinions. i like it.
I genuinely think wanted EA wanted us to buy Next Gen NHL 15 for HUT and then get old Gen for live the life, OTP, EASHL and online shootouts. Thats a disgrace that if that's true. Thats pretty terrible and selfish from such a big well known company in the gaming community to do that
Wow brilliant man...
Sadly it worked on many of us...
Ben Adams i agree
Ben Adams I only bought it on next gen but I would be lying if I said I wasn't tempted to buy the old gen version. God I hate EA...
Anthony Merz same boat...
I'm glad you made this video. I didn't agree with much of what was said in the first video but I'm impressed that you defended your opinions and cleared up some points in this video. Gained some respect from myself.
Dunno who this Flash guy is, but he got tooooooold.
As someone who absolutely hates current gen NHL I really enjoyed these 2 videos.
I understand the points the other youtubers were trying to make (in a way) but for whatever reason its become popular to hate on you among a group of NHL youtubers which doesnt make sense to me.
Hopefully the Vancouver committee is the first step towards EA picking up the ball and releasing a game with fun gameplay for versus, HUT, and EASHL.
Yo Flash, go home bud.
Excellent video! I love watching your videos and listening to your opinions.
READ THIS: Play NHL 14/15 LTL again and fuck Xbox One version, dont play it because we like it, it was more fun to hear you laugh and be happy at LTL than complaining on NHL15
Jonny you are by far the wisest hockey youtuber I know
You are great Johnny. You speak your mind about NHL 15 in one video. Then you make a second video responding to the comments of the first video not with made up stories but with actual arguments that support your beliefs.
That may be why other NHL youtubers criticize him. Since Johnny talks about NHL games he obviously gets EA's attention which when does helps him out. which definitely bugs other youtubers who get jealous and angry at Johnny because he is talking shit to EA who "Help him out ".
No one can blame Johnny at all sure he gets the game early and gets free advertising done by EA and then talks crap about the game. What else is he supposed to do talk good about that crap, no. Sure EA helps him, he helps EA to by advertising their games. And if that game he is advertising isn't good of course he is going to make a video to talk crap about it what else would he do. If he said NHL 15 is great then people would think he is an EA ass kisser and they wouldn't watch his videos which would make him have to find a new job.
So to all the people who say that Johnny gets helped by EA and then talks crap about them for publicity just shut up. Johnny talks crap about them because they can't make a proper game. I'll say it again they help him, he helps them, can't make it more simple then that.
If you still want to blame someone blame EA. If EA actually made a good game this video wouldn't be posted at all.
For all who still criticize either get EA to fix the game so you don't have to watch this video or stop watching his videos entirely if you don't like him speaking his mind.
Been a fan long time Johnny and always will be. Keep up the great work :)
The world has been waiting to see this. NHL 2K and iOS on I pad is like NHL 14 with lower graphics. They added be a pro with the skip to next shift. Mini rink. Season made not GM mode but still good, shootout and online shootout. There was never a thought that NHL 2K would be as good as it is on IOS!
I fucking love you Jonny! IOS is better than NHL 15 because it's only $7.
I used to play NHL games all the time but NHL 15 has really got me bored and I don't play as much anymore it's so bad. GM Mode seems so bland and somewhat boring as well and the screen really lags. I just can't believe that I went to the midnight release for this game to be just disappointed. I won't be getting NHL 16 right away. I will come straight here to see how it really is. I won't fall for EA's scam again. Anyone else agree?
The Feels on the bus go round and round.
Why are fellow NHL youtubers complaining?
All of the other youtubers that complained are hut based channels that release pack openings and "totw videos" it's no wonder they're mad, this is their perfect game.
Ty Pro that is true that theyrehut based youtubers but they still have a point. im all on johnnys side on this one because what hes saying is true when you really think about it
I'm on johnnys side too, I was just explaining how anyone can make a hut based youtube channel.
Step 1: do pack openings
Step 2: make videos about information everyone has access to.
Step 3: hate on other NHL youtubers because they arent selling out like you.
Because Johnny is not alone.
Johnny,
I've watched you since I don't even know how long. You helped me get through my HS boredom by providing me with endless entertainment. One of the main reasons why I watch your videos is because, as you said, you always tell the truth and you're not afraid to speak your opinion. Despite EA "hooking you up" by giving you their game a week or two in advance, you're not shy in telling it as it is. Do you benefit from EA using you to promote their game, yes absolutely. But that is like getting the questions to an exam before the test and using them to study. It would be stupid not to take advantage of it. That is exactly what Johnny is doing here. He helped EA out with tutorials, and now Johnny is simply using that to his advantage. Good for you Johnny!
NHL 15 for Xbox One/PS4 is an absolute disaster of a game (for all the reasons mentioned previously). There is no excuse after not immediately putting NHL 14 on next gen. Was it the right move... absolutely. But after playing NHL 15 it is clear that they did not take advantage of the time they had to optimize this game. The game looks beautiful, and it is a great foundation, however, that is all it is... a foundation. Hoping for the best next year for NHL 16
So many jealous other NHL TH-camrs
I particularly loved 16:57 - 17:01. Thank you for including it in this video. =)
Good Guy Johnny nothing but truth im behind you 100%
Love the review. I want to take this opportunity to denounce how EA official NHL forums will delete and ban all similar complaints to this one despite them being truthful while allowing abusive community members (including the mods themselves) to bully, troll and harass anyone who has a negative opinion on the game regardless of how constructive the opinion is. Probably a lot of the same abusive mods and protected regulars on the nhl forums trying to generate hate momentum here too. Mostly people who get the game for free.
All I'm going to say is this, you said that you and EA have a business relationship and that's fair. But when EA provides you games weeks early and lets you have multiple videos up at midnight of a brand new game and you say they don't help you? Come on. I think it's well known how many views and subscribers having 10+ videos up of a brand new game at midnight that nobody else can upload.
Like I said before I respect the hell out of you for getting to where you are but I do not think that without EA helping you out by giving you NHL 13, NHL 14 and even NHL 15. It's sad to see that EA is helping you out and you just disrespect them and are very ungrateful
He never said EA doesn't help him, he said he helps EA with tutorial videos and EA helps him get more viewers to his channel .
He never said thay they fully don't help him. He said they're both businesses that helps him advertise his channel for free. He just doesn't get paid by them. Also he deserves to get the game early how much he breaks it down and picks out the good and the bad.
#shotsfired I respect you saad and Johnny but idk if either of you are right. I really think that the nhl series needs a reboot. That's what nhl15 on next gen was supposed to be but they did not live up to expectations. They need to focus on what the community wants...they should have a huge vote where everyone can participate to determine what is put in nhl16.
Johnny is technically helping EA just like he said by making these tutorial videos. That's why EA gives back to him.
Jealous?
It takes guts to expose flaws in a game that helps support you in real life, hockey fans voicing their opinion on NHL are what is going to hopefully motivate EA to make the NHL games better,otherwise they are gonna lose lots of money
So much hate, so little time to read it all. 1 vs 140k, very mature of you all to take shots in the comment section. One thing I have definitely learned though, is Johnny isn't always right, but he sure as hell is never wrong. ;)
Cry about it?
Keep flapping your gums, kid. Stop riding the coattails of better youtubers.
"Very mature of you all to take shots in the comment section". LMFAO. Isn't that exactly what you did against johnny in his original video review? You are such a hypocrite. Did you even watch this video? It's so obvious the only thing you have "gripes" with is johnny's success as a youtuber. Just take this roasting like a man and try to think before you comment next time.
Bruh you got beat on
people could've respected your opinion if you actually had an opinion about the video. instead you decided to try and take shots at johnny and he roasted you.
why don't you just go make a video. oh wait....
I would still buy yjis game still qhen I get my ps4 but after watching this video I agree with everythng u said love ur videos because u go into depth in everyone of ur videos
Who cares just in general
???
***** aki
***** 60*
70 for Canadians bud
Johnny everything you are saying about this game I agree with you. I support you 100%
#EaFixYourGame
thanks for another great video johnny. I agree with ur quick review video on everything u said. I also agree with this video because Ik where ur coming from. I've been a subscriber for 8-10 months now and I love every video that u out. P.S. More EASHL lol
FLASH
He got owned...
Your my favorite You-tuber EVER!!!!!!!!!!!
Minecraft is popular because little nerdy people and kids play it. NHL is a sports game and hockey isn't that popular.
Agree
Ignorant comment. Why are there so many nerdy people playing specifically minecraft then? And don't say that it's just a coincidence or because there are more nerds than hockey fans because that's ridiculous. Minecraft is simply a good game, objectively.
I don't play it myself but you have many different options in the game, addicting factors, few bugs yet an ongoing developing product etc etc..
I'm not even that big of a hockey fan myself, but I tend to buy NHL because it's usually a fun game. NHL 15 on next gen however drives me insane with laggy menus, very bad content and just generally a poor gaming experience. It's not the amount of "nerds" or hockey fans that determines if a game is good or not..
This guy prob tried playing Minecraft and didn't know how to chop a tree down.
as a person who owned nhl 11-14 and main gameplay modes are be a gm and live the llife i fully agree with you johnny,
I like that you are so down to earth thats why i sub to you johnny
great review video and nice follow up. I totally agree with you and it baffles me how some people don't understand/argue with what you're saying when you lay out the evidence so clearly
Johnny, you made a very good point in this video that you didn't sugar coat anything about the game, that itself made me trust you a lot more and have a lot of faith in you, every point you made was valid. Also, a good point is that you said you weren't trashing EA, you just didn't like the new game, you are very smart, that's why I watch you, you are entertaining and smart
This was one of your best videos in months.
The NHL games won't get as much hype like games like Minecraft or Call of Duty unless if the popularity of hockey explodes. One suggestion I would make to EA is to utilize the Xbox Kinect and the PS Move. Think about playing goalie using the Kinect/Move, that would make the series so much better.
2:30 I would now like to make a case for Total War having the worst AI in video games
I agree with the Minecraft - NHL 15 comparison you made. I play Minecraft, it is one of my favorite games and it plays WAY better than the Xbox ONE/PS4 version of NHL 15 BUT it looks a lot worse (unless if you have installed a resource pack).
i still respect you 100% and agree with you 100%! keep it up Superb man!
