Re: NHL 17 News Scheduled to Arrive on Tuesday, April 26

One quick thing that also just came to mind. Neutral zone pressure. This is fundamental to hockey and I see none of it in this game. It's a must because right now without it there really is no need to dump the puck in other than just because I feel like dumping it in.

Pretty sure 99 % of what you guys posted wont be added to the game.

Most likely will just be roster updates, maybe a slight graphical improvement at best.

Something id like to see is being able to switch to specific players, instead of the games idiotic system choosing which player I switch to, and they always switch me to a player whos not even near the puck or involved in the play which leads to giving up easy goals because of course the CPU teammates are zombies who dont even pay attention to the play. But they could have added this years ago.

^ Is there a dislike button ^ :)

I understand the frustration. But it sounds like a game changer said 90% of the stuff would be addressed.

Then it must be true! Because everything you read on the internet is true, right? :wink:

Tweaks and adjustments won't do it this year; the entire system needs to be rebuilt. These past few years have been nothing but frustrating as not a SINGLE aspect of the NHL series reflects the real game; zero creativity in playmaking, unrealistic physics, terrible player movement and speed, etc etc.

I moved to FIFA and have not looked back. The game gives you the tools and it's up to you to take advantage of the mechanics that are in place, offering an experience that has delivered 1,000 times over NHL.

More user celebrations? Realistic coaches? No. Fix the gameplay. I'm tired of players trudging through concrete and then getting flattened by every nudge and shoulder. I'm done ranting and will stick with FIFA until they watch a real hockey game and realize they've been doing it wrong.

Huge hockey fan that was excited for 16 only to stop playing it and jump to FIFA this year. I wasn't even that big of a FIFA fan at the time but I am now. NHL needs to fix a lot but some things I'd like to see are actual OTP and realistic physics. Two guys collide = they both can fall down.

Watch the team Morale plummet! ;)

The one thing I really want to see is smarter CPU AI when it comes to odd-man opportunities.
It's so frustrating to work on earning a 2-on-1 only to see your teammate basically hump a monkey in the corner.

Yakupov mode?
