NHL 15 Trailer: Bird’s Eye View

A new NHL 15 trailer was slapshot onto the web by EA, showcasing actual gameplay for the first time.

The new trailer focuses on the presentation elements of this year's offering, showing off the live-action introduction by Doc Emrick and Eddie Olczyk and the brand-new Dynamic Cameras in the overhead view. Dynamic High, Dynamic Medium, and Dynamic Low allow players to choose how close to the action they want to be, either up close and personal or a little further back to see more of the ice.

Those new camera angles show off some pretty impressive on-ice play. We see Colorado playing Minnesota, Boston taking on Washington, and Dallas going head-to-head with the Anaheim Mighty Ducks, with action featuring everything from fancy stick moves and buzzer-beating goals to some big time hits via the new collision systems. We'll forgive EA for the lack of Philadelphia Flyers action, but we get that they don't want to overload their YouTube account with too much greatness.

EA Canada has really put everything they have into making this as authentic to the actual NHL as they can, and it really shows in this first gameplay. We're excited to hop on the ice when NHL 15 launches Sept. 9 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.
