you still can't edit players in NHL 16

this is a feature that's been in like every sports game I've bought in the last 10 years, this game is made by incompetent idiots

Why would you need to edit perfection?

One of my favourite parts of previous games was adding in authentic goal songs and break in play tunes. I want to hear SHE'S MY CHERRY PIE when I line up for a faceoff damnit.

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

Or at least have a checkbox to have real world players only

The very best part of NHL15's lack of rematch options is that the voice chat cuts out IMMEDIATELY after a game is over. Like, as soon as the final score is shown you can't talk to the other person.

That's weird, isn't voice chat a party based thing that runs if you're in a game together or not?

Or I guess you're talking about playing a game vs randoms?

oh no I guess I meant the puck guard things you put over skates to protect your feet from shots

Haha I was trying to figure out why they'd need to bother rendering skate guards as well, but then I just shrugged and figured it was an EA thing

I feel like the NHL games have had demos before where everything felt fun and solid, then they do a full release tuner update and it all goes to poo poo.

Maybe I just didn't spend enough time with the demos for all the flaws to show up though.

I'm actually considering getting a PS4 if this game turns out to be good. I haven't played a NHL game since 13 and I'm getting an itch for it.

If only NHL games were on Steam, I haven't missed owning a console at all except for hockey.

I've always wanted a Be A Pro mode that isn't just shuffling around stat points and such. Let me be a character, I want to yell at coaches and be a locker room cancer. Let me demand more money and get ran out of town.

I've been playing N64-era non-EA hockey games since I got a flashcart, NHL Breakaway 98 and Blades of Steel 99. The graphics are a mess, it's amazing we could play these games back in the day. The actual gameplay has it's moments though, it's interesting going back and playing a game where the goals aren't crazy dangles and landing a huge hit actually takes some doing.

Lost a versus game 6-2 against a guy using Montreal who did nothing but skate behind the net for a through the crease one timer, which was open nearly every time. Despite the fact that he scored 5 doing this, that rarely even seems to be open for me. I'm curious - is there some sort of confluence of in game strategy settings (the up/down and left/right d-pad initiated options) that causes one of his guys to permanently camp in the high slot and none of my CPU defenders to skate in front of him? That I'm just not aware of?

Was there no way you personally could cover the open guy camping out in the crease?

Got the NHL 16 PS4 bundle a few nights ago. So far I'm enjoying the game, messing around with HUT. The only thing that drives me crazy is when your D skates backwards for no good reason

Oh thank god, I didn't even think there would be an option for that, I just assumed EA was loving us over

I'm having a lot of trouble keeping possession in versus. There just don't seem to be a lot of passing lanes and the stuff I remember working in 15 just isn't there. Can you guys throw me some general tips?

Just curious, have you tried skating more and being more conservative with your passes? I find if you just try and fling the puck blindly forward all the time you're going to get it picked 9/10 times.

Surely this FIFA Ultimate Team bug would have no implications in NHL though
