Feeling pretty strong buyer's remorse at this point, especially with the announcement that FH5 will be available on last-gen through cloud services.
This whole gamescom show has been a waste of time so far.

NHL 2015 on XB1 was pretty enough that I bought a new console on impulse after playing it on a store demo.
The actual game was so stripped of features though compared to last gen that my friends and I soon abandoned it completely and went back to NHL on 360.
I can't remember exactly what was so egregious about it, but IIRC, it was something along the lines of not being able to draft your own players in Franchise mode and/or the AI teams being unable to offer you trades spontaneously. I seem to recall that players also never got injured if you played live games vs simming them.
I guess that is more EA's fault, but it was a good lesson.
NHL 15 was the beginning of the end for me with those games. 11-15 on my Xbox 360 I bought every year when new. They actually added things every year too. Most of the games felt different year over year. Sometimes for good, not always. But they tried a lot.
Once they moved to NHL 15 on the Xbox One, it never was the same. I played NHL 16 a decent amount and was done after that. Now it's just Madden microtranny fest with hockey.
