NHL 16: No 3-on-3 Overtime Rules at Launch


The NHL Board of Governors approved a change to the regular season overtime rules in late June. The old 4-on-4 setup was ditched for a new 3-on-3 setup. However, those rules will not be in NHL 16, at least not when the game launched.

I thought I had heard NHL 16's Sean Ramjagsingh say this exact thing during the Twitch live stream yesterday, and now it's confirmed via Sean Leahy's interview on Puck Daddy with Ramjagsingh.

Quote:
On new NHL rules (3-on-3 OT, coaches challenge, etc.) in the game: “Not for launch, but that’s something that we will look at it. It’s part of the new rules of the NHL, so it’s something we’ll look to potentially add post-launch.”

It would not be the first time rule changes were implemented after the season began, but this seems like it would come via an actual patch rather than just a "basic" tuning update.

Going to be a lot of spamming with only 3-3.

Wait how difficult is it to change from 4v4 to 3v3.... seriously? If a game claims to be authentic, then it should have this simple change that has a large effect on the game of hockey.

Pretty silly to not have this implemented into the game. I hope they just didn't put all there time & effort into the EASHL mode & neglect everything else.

This is too big of a deal for Rammer to be saying things like "we will look at it" or "we’ll look to potentially add post-launch", don't you think?

Makes me think they're not really going to make it a priority, which would be a major fail if you ask me.

Making promises you don't know if you'll be able to keep is a really bad way of doing business.

I don't know why this would be hard to add seeing as 3-on-3 is already in the game... that being said I will probably not want to play 3-on-3 overtime anyways, so this doesn't really affect me.
