EA Sports officially announced NHL 15 today, with a hefty list of new features. It's due this fall for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. A cover vote is open now too, letting you help determine who takes center ice from a pool of eight contenders.

The PS4 and XBO versions will feature collision and puck physics, letting both the players and puck bounce off each other realistically. The Skill Stick and player AI have been given some revisions to be smarter and more fluid. The NHL likeness presentation is also getting a boost with a partnership with NBC Sports for making the broadcast graphics and commentary similar to those when you watch a match on TV. The crowds have been given an overhaul to make them react to big plays, and the arenas have been given an extra layer of detail.

The official vote is being done in brackets, as right now there are eight players facing off two-by-two. The winner will be announced at the 2014 NHL Awards on June 24.

        this would be perfect for me. i end up buying these games once in a while and never playing them. i'd much rather play a quick game on the go than to sit down and play this for a few hours on the couch instead of something with a story like AC or infamous. i'm afraid that they won't bother. they've been doing fifa yearly but from what i read, they made fifa 13 and just reskin it every year. i dont see anything about new madden on vita either.

      Haven't played an NHL game since the PSX era. Really looking forward to this!

      Fucking EA. I used to buy NHL for the PC every year. What a bag of cocks.

          Mostly UX for the menu systems. There's a lot of screens in dem sports games.

        please keep NHL94 mode in there but make it playable over live! This is the holy grail of NHL video games! Please make it happen!

      Looking forward to this so much. I skipped 14 because it wasn't available for the PS4. Been playing FIFA with friends instead, and while it's a good game, it just isn't as much fun as NHL is.
