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.
