Re: NHL 16 Livestream on Twitch Starting Now
 

I'll update this post with BAGM info. Key stuff is italicized.

—Some players have "leader" trait
—Most are neutral
—Players with higher morale gain points in offensive and defensive awareness, and high morale can positively affect the overall team chemistry
—Higher team chemistry helps win games in simulation
—Supersim is back
—Team meetings and individual meetings involve 4 different choices (this seems similar to NHL 14's Live the Life interviews)
—Management, Teammate, Performance, and something else are the 4 chemistry meters (players will rise/fall in each of those), and all 4 affect overall morale. No mention of whether it's 25%/25%/25%/25% for how those meters affect the overall etc. This is seeming real similar to NHL 14 Live the Life.
—Trade logic got some work
—If you trade a star player, chances are more morale will go down.
—Players can gain chemistry with newly acquired players slowly.
—Injuries, playing out of position, and captaincy assignments affect morale
—Still no in-season contract extensions

As evidenced by Eddie trading Vrbata, Kenins, and a 1st for Nyquist :spit:

Did they do some Be a GM play against the AI?

I've had my fill of EASHL footage, and was hoping to see some offline play against the computer.

There was some Human v. user, but it's basically what we've seen. Same stick-on-stick detection—no mention of what skill level the gameplay was on.

I've got to admit, it's a bit worrying not seeing a lot of visual difference in the way players move, compared to NHL14.

Not trying to be a negative Nancy, but watching the dev's play make me laugh. Always talk about being authentic but play their own game like online exploiters. So frustrating as a hockey fan!

any idea if giving a player who is neutral the "C" will change is trait to a leader?
