There's just nothing dynamic about the game. You have to force yourself to attack differently in order to try and have fun. That shouldn't be the case. You can honestly skate in and tee up a slapper from the top of the circle nearly every single time. I just don't get why the higher skill levels don't have more pressure. It makes no sense to me. I totally agree with you about the puck being all over the place. They made a great change in this regard.

Yeah.. I see this too. I also do see times where I can't get a shot off.

I beat Edmonton 5-0, but possession wise, it was a close game. Tarasenko scored a goal where it came all the way out of the goal at least 10 feet.. was pretty cool.

During the game, the game speed went down to 2.. I know this because the game was really choppy.. I set it back to 3 and it was fine.. but it changed on its own.. weird...

At least the big hits are few.. it's tough to really knock a player down.

One of the things I really like are the lack of the big hits. It's nice to not see guys just leveling one another like it's a football game. I'd like to see CPU players though loose the puck just as easily when contacted as player controlled players do, but the lack of big bone crushing hits is nice to see. Nicely done this year IMO

A few minor (?) complaints.

Madden did a WONDERFUL job of introducing new camera angles and cut scenes. New pre and post whistle camera angles would go a long way to making things feel fresh.

I have always hated when certain things /plays were guaranteed. So I love how cross-crease passes are not automatic. And the defense actually breaks them up. But, I feel now that THAT is almost too automatic now, it's like the D never misses the puck or has them bounce off the stick. There should be an equal amount of missed or broken up pucks regardless of O or D in front of the crease.

Why can't I make touch passes online? I don't have enough a sample size offline, but I think I'm using manual passing (maybe I'm not). But the fact is if I tap pass and my teammate is 2 feet away it shouldn't be a rocket pass. Unless of course I make the mistake of holding pass too long, which in these cases I'm not.

I was hoping that the crowd atmosphere would be better for playoff games than it is for regular season games, so I simmed ahead to a Stanley Cup Final clinching game between Anaheim and Tampa. Unfortunately, the crowd is still really quiet even in Cup games.



NBA Live still has the best crowds in sports gaming IMO. NHL's crowds are near the bottom of the genre as far as activeness and excitement go.

It also looks the like Stanley Cup celebration scene is pretty similar to what it was in NHL 15. The cup ceremony starts at timestamp 26:30 if anyone just wants to see that.

Are you able to create a player with the preview?
If so do you still have to choose a name that the announcer will call you by,
or have they let it go back to having the number called?

(IE... I create a player last name Brown. Brown is not in the list of play by play names, so I had to choose something close, like Backstrom.)

Anybody? I'll be grateful to you if you can check this out for me.

I did Be A Pro Mode and yes if you create someone and the last name isn't in the database you have to choose a different Name from the provided ones for the Announcer to say.

This screen grab is from the latest NHL 16 cameo trailer. You can see it here: https://twitter.com/xbox/status/642096415976456192

Looks like a five-man celebration cutscene to me! How about that for false advertisement. Kind of a shame, but expected I guess.
