In EA Sports’ 3rd trailer since E3, the NHL series now shows off their overhauled game-engine with entirely new puck physics and 12 player collisions for NHL 15.
The overhauled puck engine will be a massive boost to the series. In previous games, the “puck” actually had the physics of a ball on the ice, but with the new engine pucks can roll, ricochet, and bounce like actual hockey pucks. The 12 player collision will create more realistic bumps and scrums for pucks. Puck control in general is expected to be much improved.
NHL 15 will release on September 7th this year on Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, and Playstation 3.
*It should be noted that many of the promoted features of the game will not be included in the 360 and PS3 versions. They will be in-essence a re-hash of NHL 14, but with new commentators.

Not on PC. And it might be worth adding that most of the new features won’t be on ps3/xbox360.
You are correct. While NHL was initially expected to come to PC, EA has backtracked and excluded it yet again.
I did mention in my last NHL update that PS3 and Xbox 360 weren’t receiving the majority of the new features. I’ll add it in the post now.
