NHL 16 Planning Meeting is as follows:

"What requires the least amount of programming and the most we can recycle from the last iteration?


...do that.

Do they still include some sick kid that ends up winning all of the awards in BAGM/BAP if you forget to edit their stats down or remove them from rosters? One year there was a 16 year old girl who had survived cancer that got included as a goalie. I'm pretty sure she made it to the free agent list in my game and ultimately ended up replacing Carey Price when the AI Canadiens picked her up.

The whole game is the sick kid, and it still has the terminal cancer.

Is there a good reason as to why that feature was even removed in the first place? It seems like one of the simplest things to program. I remember playing around with Andrew Cassels attributes to make him a superstar in like NHL 96.

It's Rio Yassin but his stats are reasonable. People use him boosted in HUT because he's like 4'10" so he can just skate in between people.

I get that, but is there a financial/gameplay reason for doing so? Do they want to force people to download only their roster updates? Can people use it to cheat in online play or something? I'm no programmer, but I can't imagine a database editor would take all that long to put together, and it's something people expect from a sports video game produced in the last 15-20 years.

I assume the code for the game is so broken that you can probably crash the poo poo out of it by editing rosters somehow...like if you wanted to make everyone a 99OVR or something, it probably crashes the game. So instead of fixing it, they just took out editing.

They probably just don't want to bother with making the front-end UI for editing players. I suspect that the poor sales performance of 15 got their team size somewhat cut, and they have to be even more picky about what they can/can't implement now.

Funny, our not buying the game in disgust over the lack of features will lead to even fewer features because EA are the only developers making a hockey game.

EA Sports, it's still not in the game.

That's awesome in a terrible way. Rio is new to me since I haven't kept up with newer updates but these are hilarious.

It's a nice gesture and all but they should really keep the terminally ill child superplayers out of Dynasty mode and stuff

Finally got around to playing a few h2h matchups and either i still dont suck after not playing online for a few years or pubbies bad.

Probably pubbies bad since they just try force breakaways and never pass the puck.

Long winning streaks are pretty standard for good players when starting. I was something like 50-3-2 on nhl 15. Then I went 139-40-9. Then I stopped playing because the game sucks.

Fan of Britches
It may just be my unfamiliarity with the new controller, but 15 on the one feels floaty as all gently caress.

That being said, the presentation (which you pretty much always skip) is pretty top notch.

NHL 15 on 360 feels much sharper and punchier.

i like 15s gameplay but the feeling of laying somebody out feels less satisfying on PS4 compared to PS3.

quote:

When we started developing NHL 16 we identified early on through our NHL Game Changers program that the ability to edit players needed to be a priority. This was further reinforced by your questions on Ask NHL. We had always planned to include this feature in the series, but when we announced our feature set in May we could not say with 100% confidence that it would be available at launch. However, after working with members of our NHL team we were able to expedite the development of this feature without negatively impacting our previously announced feature set. So with that being said, I am happy to announce that Edit Player will be available in NHL 16 when the game launches in September 2015.
