NHL 17 Impressions

[Pikesburgh]

I love that the CPU cycles the pucks more before shooting now. This will make Be a Pro so much more fun to play, because now the CPU won't get 5 shots per shift if my AI teammates play like garbage. Have you tried any Be a Pro? I'm hoping this is the year, thanks to the sliders, that I can play a full 1,000 game Be a Pro career and have FUN throughout it, with realistic stats.

What was the time frame on those 4 penalties you saw? A period? Game? What were the period lengths?

Appreciate the impressions.

A period and 10 min periods. I saw 7 penalties in about a period and a half immediately after I changed every penalty to 100. 4 were hooking, 2 were tripping and one was slashing.

I just played a game of BAP. I didnt play enough to get a full impression. The cycling I was seeing in a regular game wasnt present in my game of BAP.

I played one more game of play now and I got crushed by the Hurricanes. My goalie (Mason for the flyers) couldnt stop a damn thing. One great sign was I saw Carolina legitimately try to dump and chase.

Yeah, that frequency is pretty much unheard of in this series before now, no matter what the penalty (and penalty taking) settings were. Great to hear - hopefully the other sliders go to extremes too.

Did you get killed in BaP? The CPU used to do nothing but one timers from the slot and they would score on me a lot. Were the AI teammates somewhat competent? Or did they get stuck behind the net still?

Are the camera angles in BAP the same? I remember hearing last year that they were working on a new camera angle for the mode. Wondering if it made it into this year's game.

Goalies in any mode. Is there any distinction, on-ice, in their play styles? Are those styles true to their real-life counterparts?
