EA Sports has released a new video of NHL 15 to talk about the “true hockey physics” system that’s set to grace the upcoming title. In addition to talking about the game's physics system, you get to watch the game in action with some new gameplay footage.
The system, which uses the latest and greatest technology available in new-gen consoles like the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 is said to capture the “unpredictability and physicality” of every play in the sport.
The new physics features for NHL 15 are:
- 12 Player NHL Collision Physics – For the first time, real-world physics affect every player through every on-ice collision with the new 12 Player NHL Collision Physics. Utilizing the power of the new consoles, and building off the critically-acclaimed NHL Collision Physics system, every player on the ice is governed by physics at all times. Feel the hard-hitting chaos of NHL hockey through true-to-life secondary collisions, net scrambles and player pileups, capturing the desperation of every shift.
- Real Puck Physics – The puck is one of the most complex items in the game to authentically replicate and it finally gets its due in NHL 15. Completely rebuilt puck physics result in a more realistic feel to every puck interaction. Everything on the ice, including the ice surface itself, is live which leads to the unpredictable and authentic puck spins, rolls and bounces seen in a real NHL game.
The game comes out on September 9, 2014 for both new-gen and last-gen consoles.
