Soft Shell Crab posted:It's probably another reset year like 15 was, after the Neo and the new Xbox have arrived. They are going to scratch all the modes and have only the bare bones engine that is somehow worse than it was in previous generation. I was going to say, the NHL team has been on some sort of weird 3 year cycle where the strip all the mechanics down to the bone, then slowly build them back up again.

they moved FIFA to a new engine this year, so yeah, NHL is going to be in limbo for a bit until they move too

That was bad explanation but maybe you get what I mean.

This is the first year since they introduce the skill stick that I actually completely missed the launch of the game. In previous years I'd be chomping at the bit to get it on day one, but I didn't even know it was out until this morning.

Does the ECHL factor into Franchise Mode? That's the only mode I play in this game and it'd be kinda cool to have the lower end players with the Monsters be able to go down and "develop" in ECHL simmed or even played games as opposed to just being a laundry list of extras who probably aren't going to play. E- If it does, I'm resurrecting the hell out of the Dayton Bombers. CBJSprague24 fucked around with this message at 18:58 on Sep 14, 2016 |

That's loving stupid, what's even the point of having them then? Just for the 8 people who go to South Carolina Stingrays games and want to play two games with them before they're bored with 64 OVR players who can't do anything?

Does this game not start every god drat team in Franchise with 49 or 50 players on the roster in the first season so trades are actually possible? I'd like to shed a depth player for a pick, but can't because 27 teams are already at 50 loving contracts.Teemu Pokemon posted:That's loving stupid, what's even the point of having them then?

I'd get behind a mode where I could assign your lowest end players to an ECHL team of your choice (since I think that's how it works now). I could send some the 59-65OVRs to Cincinnati and they could develop however EA does it through playing in simmed games so you could see if they were worth anything. That, or play a handful of games myself and let the game do the rest, like I do with the Monsters.

I'm digging this year's edition a lot, but that's because I'm a simpleton. I play online or local multiplayer with a friend or two, and dick around with the season mode. Occasionally I'll jump over to Be A Pro.

After playing couple offline and online HUT games I'm disappointed and I barely expected anything from the game. The game feels really terrible. Like NHL 15 level of bad. Somehow it's a step backward from NHL 16 which is blowing my mind. It just feels fundamentally unresponsive. From the slow menus to the game play the clunkiness is what seems to define this whole drat game. It doesn't even have the new game smell for me. Seams are showing right away and playing feels like a chore from the first game. I hope I'm being too harsh and the game will get better as I play more, but I really can't see that happening now.

Fun fact the games will never ever get any better as long as they keep making millions off HUT and preorder purchases. So don't be surprised when the game is bad or worse every single year.

Yeah but guys the menus are totally reskinned. I mean they're still the same exact menus, and still slow and clunky, but they LOOK different! Also, I play HUT because I enjoy having Ryan White as a first line winger for a month before I pull an upgrade such as Dorsett.

There is an option to listen to the same old "NHL theme" for a third year in a row instead of whatever the kids listen to these days, which is appreciated. Also seems like the EA forums have been down after this hot mess was realeased. Coincidence? Probably, but I like to think not.

Are there any ps4 goons with an EASHL team? My internet seems to have stabilized enough to actually make it through a game without crashing so I'd be up for partying up with some people.

Those "Your Local Rink" arenas are kinda cool. I figure there are still no custom soundtracks/playlists, hitting is worthless, and the players standing directly over the puck do every AI motion possible except "take possession of the puck", though. I miss "Breakin' The Law" and Genesis' "Misunderstanding" playing when my team takes a penalty at home, damnit.

I don't know if there is a way to make the Draft Champions mode any more uninteresting than it's in NHL. In FIFA 16 - which I played briefly - you would pay, I think, one gold pack amount of points to enter for a change to win two packs if you win all four games. I don't remember if it was quite like that but the idea was that you would get some added value if you win and the excitement of opening couple packs at the end. In NHL Draft Champions you don't pay anything to enter but there is no excitement in winning. If you win three games but lose the last you get thee cards. If you win all four you get four cards. There is no bigger reward for winning all four games. Only downside in losing the last game is that you played a game that didn't get you a card. How more uninteresting they could make this? You have to grind one hundred cards to get the player card that is the only sensible option to spend your cards so winning four cards doesn't feel like you've actually won anything. Feels about as exciting as depositing money in bank in real life. Rant over.
