NHL 16: Upcoming Potential Rule Changes And How They'll Impact the Game

[actionhank]

Honestly, until they can get it so that all of the rules currently are in hockey are in the game, I'm not too worried about how they handle overtime.

Honestly I can't see how the can change be a gm. Player don't grow, after a couple years nearly everyone drafted player is under 200 lbs.

When do we normally start to get news about the next NHL game? I don't watch a lot of hockey mostly just watch the sharks and I don't understand all the rules and I never played the NHL games a lot but I did like some of the old NHL games. But I heard that NHL 15 had a lot of things missing and just didn't live up the hype so I am interested to see if NHL fixes a lot of things and brings back a lot of things or not.

Usually in May into June is when EA starts releasing tidbits of info.

heres the deal, since EA told little lies and waited until the week before to mention that their game was bare bones when they had two years of development time, I passed on their game last year and learned I really don't need a hockey game to be happy. I haven't wasted a second thinking about an NHL game. So ea has lost me as a hockey customer. Now they are going to have to work real hard to impress upon me that their next outing is with $60. Plus by no means will their game be a day one purchase like years before because their track record on game Launches has been recently brutal in the "next gen" era. So my advice to EA is get your teasers out early, be transparent in your development, and work your tails off because you allowed a slam dunk customer the opportunity to try new things when you put out a half %#^ product and I realized I don't need your product anymore.

Fancy rule changes are pointless when the Franchise mode (BAGM) is on par with NHL 2000 for the Game Boy Color.
