The following details were also provided on the official NHL 15 site:

For PS3 & Xbox 360:
Multiplayer NHL Collision Physics
Year two of the critically-acclaimed NHL Collision Physics evolves to introduce true-to-life multiplayer collisions, net scrambles and player pileups, capturing the true desperation of every shift in the NHL.

The Complete Hockey Experience
Play old-school hockey with NHL 94 Anniversary Mode, suit up with an online team in EA SPORTS Hockey League, or build and play with your ultimate fantasy team in Hockey Ultimate Team. NHL15 brings with it the best sport game modes of a generation.

All-New Commentary Team
NHL 15 welcomes the NBC Sports™ commentary team of Mike ‘Doc’ Emrick and Eddie Olczyk to the broadcast booth. Doc and Eddie will anticipate plays and ramp up their intensity to match the action on the ice with over 35,000 lines of brand-new commentary.

For the PS4 & Xbox One:
12 Player NHL Collision Physics
For the first time in any sports game, real-world physics affects every player through every on-ice collision with the new 12 Player NHL ® Collision Physics. Utilizing the power of the next generation 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.

Authentic Player & Equipment Models
The Next Generation Hockey Player has been rebuilt from the ice up. Now player models have three distinct layers – the body, equipment, and jersey. Each layer interacts independently, making every contact with the puck or other players even more realistic. Dynamic Cloth technology adds an extra layer of realism as it reacts to the player’s movement as they explode up the ice, helping bring the speed of the game to life.

Unprecedented Player Likeness
Powered by the same technology that brought the most realistic representation of the athlete to EA SPORTS UFC, NHL 15 delivers groundbreaking player likeness, emotion and animation. From the strides a player takes to get up the ice to the emotion on their face after scoring a game winning goal, the players are as real as they’ve ever been.

Superstar Skill Stick
Now all the tools of an NHL superstar are in your hands. The revolutionary Skill Stick has evolved to give even more control to the player. Protect the puck, receive passes without breaking stride, and discover an arsenal of sweet new dekes, all with an intuitive right stick control scheme that is easy to use but packed with depth.

Authentic Arenas
There is no feeling like being there, and we are giving you the best seats in the house. The power of the next-gen consoles finally allows the NHL franchise to capture every detail of an NHL arena. Unique arena elements from 19,000+ seat capacities to lighting and player entrance tunnels are captured with a level of detail not possible on the previous generation. Now those home games will truly feel like home.

New Commentary Team
New voices for a new generation. NHL 15 welcomes the NBC Sports commentary team of Mike ‘Doc’ Emrick and Eddie Olczyk to the broadcast booth. TSN analyst Ray Ferraro will provide game insights at ice level. Combined with Real Life Broadcast Integration that will feature real-world pre-game video commentary with Doc and Eddie set against in-game visuals, NHL 15 takes a revolutionary step forward in sports videogames; where the lines between the real world of sport broadcast and the game are blurred.

NBC Sports Game Day Presentation
The most realistic broadcast package in a video game to-date is possible because of a new partnership with NBC Sports. Set the scene with the NHL on NBC crew welcoming you to the city during the game intros and immerse yourself in an experience that matches what you see on television with NHL on NBC graphics and branding.

Living Crowds
NHL 15 sets a new standard in videogames with over 9,000 individual crowd models with 4x the animations of previous generations. Take a look through the glass and you’ll see fans hold up signs with your name on them, costume wearing superfans, or even sections full of team rivals rooting against you. Feel their behavior change after dropping the gloves, landing a big hit, or scoring a clutch goal. The crowd is alive.

Vision AI
An elevated level of player intelligence, Vision AI features evolved awareness with players reading and reacting to potential plays. Scoring area recognition, pass anticipation, and enhanced team breakouts all improve the flow of the game.

Having embedding issues, will fix in 10 minutes. 

That's cool, I really like the NHL games and I usually only buy them every couple of years to make sure I don't feel like I'm buying the same game over and over again. But I think buying 2015 is a safe bet considering it's on the new consoles.

hoho rogers arena in the trailer :D and had about as many fans in the seats as the end of the season... lol

Even though I love the series, I haven't had a new NHL game since '10. I think I will update this fall :)

Also, Let's Go Red Wings!

I absolutely love this series, lol. 

Would love some competition from 2K sports, but I'm glad this series is finally getting a revamp (hopefully). The only noticeable thing they changed from 10 to 14 was how the player skated, it feels less arcadey, and they added a lot more hit collisions. 

Love that they are changing the commentary because that was the same for YEARS...

Also... nice to see another Red Wings fan on this site with a nice taste in avatar :)

Thanks! I'm super excited for the Wings for seasons to come. So much young talent!

I did play a couple games of '14, and I noticed there was about double the collisions from what I was used to in '10.

I like it when any sports game changes up the commentary. While sometimes it's annoying, it is an important aspect of making the game feel like authentic.

Agreed! We overcame a lot to even make the postseason with Zetterberg's injury and all. Lot of young guys stepped up during that time... just wish they did for the post season, lol. 

That's honestly one of the best changes. The commentary has been like that since 08... It's needed a new change for sure.
