Development
Development
NHL 15 introduced integration of NHL on NBC presentation into the game across all modes in an effort to increase the game's realism, including on-air graphic elements across two networks, NBC and NBCSN, on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and as part of separate deals, the lead commentary team of Mike Emrick and Eddie Olczyk, with TSN analyst Ray Ferraro as an ice-level analyst. Full motion video of Emrick and Olczyk was also shot, allowing them to be digitally inserted into pre-game introduction scenes. Lead producer Sean Ramjagsingh explained that Ferraro was chosen in order to appeal to the Canadian audience, and because he lived near Vancouver—meaning that he could easily visit the EA Canada studios to record new dialogue reflecting events occurring during the NHL season. NBC had previously collaborated with EA in NHL 14, which offered a feature that selected teams playing in upcoming telecasts. The NHL on NBC score bug can be disappeared in order for players to be shown at the top of the screen, if necessary. The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions were based on NHL 14, which included NHL 94 Anniversary Mode.
