Early impressions: the game feels exactly the same as 16, with minor cosmetic additions. The individual and team leveling up in EASHL is pretty neat, though.

e: Beta is out already, btw

Anybody who actually gets an email will get a total of 3 codes, 1 for themselves and 2 extras. So, if you do, share the wealth.

The wave of emails just came out for people that were Insiders, but opted out of marketing emails. They/We were skipped over yesterday.

So, if anybody needs a Bone code, AJ and I have 6 between us.

Poke checking is bad.
Body checking doesn't work right.
Passing is worse.
AI is super-overpowered.
Puck pick-ups aren't changed.

I'm sure others can add to this.

Oh, forgot to include that the game will arbitrarily (and noticeably) slow down your player while you are skating on a breakaway or attempting to skate away from players chasing you.

Also this game actually owns because if you drop from EASHL, it replaces your player with a CPU player and I just played a game against a goalie whose name was T. Brickwall, and when he dropped, the game put in a CPU goalie named J. Sieve

K. Weekes is the Away goalie in that scenario. Sieve is the home.

If you buy an EA NHL game, you're going to get the best NHL game that year. You're also going to get the worst NHL game that year. So it really doesn't matter.

For real though. If you play NHL 17 on XBox One, we need more people active to play EASHL with.

Nope, you can only sign a player to a contract if their contract ends.

I saw a quick game of NHL THREES being streamed, and besides the terrible paintjob to the rink, the terrible new "Arcade" commentary, and that gimmick mode, the actual gameplay looked exactly the same.

I put in more effort to make a new iteration than EA.
