I have never played hockey in my life.

When I first picked up the controller to play NHL 16, it was a nerve-racking experience. I am a sports buff who follows everything from football to golf and from baseball to soccer, but the NHL? It was a foreign concept to me. So imagine my surprise when I played my first game and had an absolute blast.

It's refreshing on here to see someone wanting to have fun in a video game and not complain that the assist stats over ten years are not realistic or the arena is missing one set of lighting.

Too often people forget to relax and have fun.

I enjoyed last years NHL for all its faults I am waiting for a price drop in England to pick this up

I've learned that the sports I follow the least (NHL, NBA) are the games I have the most fun!

i've been playing this series for years and still have fun with it. Sure I hear the complaints from the hardcore gamers and hockey fanatics, but this is the best pickup and play sports title for the last 5 years. And the game plays fast. So you can finish a game in about 15-20 min time.

I have to say I couldn't agree more. I've played this game for years. I still wouldn't call myself one of the hardcore gamers, but I'm by far a noob. That being said I can't count how many times iI've had friends come over and play a game with me and its been a blast for everyone. Most of them that have played have never watched a hockey game in their lives. But they still catch on pretty fast and have a blast playing it. My brother, who said "why would I play this? I HATE hockey" took some convincing to play a game finally played and then left my house to go to the store and pick up a copy of the game. He liked it that much.

I'm a noob when it comes to Hockey games too. The last time I played a hockey before I played last year NHL game was Blades of Steel. And I'm now playing NHL 16 and having fun it too.

I too enjoy NHL 16.
However this reads like an EA sponsored write up similar to the one on FIFA 16 a few days ago. Slightly worrying!

It reads as EA sponsored because it's positive? I mean there were positive articles on a number of games last week (including PES and NBA 2K, two VASTLY non-EA properties, the latter article focusing on 2K's MyTeam) but these seem EA Sponsored?

I ask that you read through all of the articles before making an unfounded claim such as this.
