12:14 PM - July 22, 2015 by Steve_OS

EA Sports has just announced their plans to launch their NHL 16 EASHL beta, starting July 30 until August 6, for Xbox One (including EA Access version) and PlayStation 4 users. If you purchased the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 version and have upgraded to current-gen console, you have a chance to access the beta as well. Look here for the details. The beta will weigh in at roughly 5GB.

Quote:


	This fan-favorite online team mode has been reimagined and lets you choose specialized player classes to deliver a balanced competitive experience on the ice. Player skill and your ability to play as a team will now be the determining factor in who wins and loses. EASHL lets you choose specialized player classes to deliver a balanced competitive experience on the ice. Choose from 12 different player classes that fit your team�s style and strategy.

Below are some notes from the NHL 16 EASHL beta FAQ.

Will I be able to customize my player or goalie in the beta?

Yes. You will be able to create a custom player in the EASHL beta. You will be able to edit a player or goalie�s general information, appearance, and equipment. Any creation or customization in the beta does not carry over to the full game. For more information on EASHL customization click here.

Will my player and team stats carry over to the main game?

Player and team stats will not carry over to the main game when NHL 16 launches in September. However, individual & team skills you learn through this beta will!

Will I have to re-create my team when NHL 16 launches on September 15?

Teams created in the beta will not carry over to NHL 16.

Does a team need to have a full lineup to play a game?

No, you can play an EASHL game without a full lineup and as little as 2 human controlled players. In those circumstances, AI will take control of non-human controlled players.

More info on the beta can be seen at Polygon.

Once that OS Xbox One team is made start shooting out some invites from the list. I think it should be password protected as well, some of the ps4 guys in this thread made good points. Don't want any jamokes (spelling?) to invade the team during this beta.

about 5 minutes after I posted, I saw the OS front page with the instructions. started it from my office, hopefully it started correctly and will be done when I get home from work.

thanks though.

you'll still need to have played NHL 15 on your console, I've read where the EA forums announcement said that your Origin account is verified when you log into NHL16 to make sure you've played NHL 15

Right, but at least you could have sold the game or even just rented it and still get access. That's pretty cool.

FWIW, I put my PS4 in Rest Mode when I left for work this morning. That way if the beta shows up on the PSN Store I can at least have the install done before I get home tonight.

true.

and yeah my XB1 was in standard mode so I had to go find RAMMER34's profile and start my download from the smartglass. I want mine finished by the time I get home as well. hah.
