NHL 16 Be a GM Developer Diary Scheduled For Tomorrow

[Steve_OS]

The NHL 16 team has scheduled their Be a GM Developer Diary tomorrow.

Anything specific you are hoping to hear about?

Looking at that screen cap, I'm wondering if those same types of dialogue options will appear in Be A Pro. Like in 14, when you opted to sign an autograph for a kid and ended up cutting your hand on a fence.

I was kind of hoping for a more in-depth look from the BaP diary (at least more than Sean just reading off the features list for 2 mins) but expecting this one to be the same. Better than nothing, I guess. Should be cool to get some glimpses of the morale system.

I'm luke warm about the text boxes. I do like that they put something in. It's better than nothing. I would like to see a little more innovation in this area though. Similar to NBA 2k.

NBA2K is the standard that all sports games should strive for.
I'm not even a basketball fan, but I love that game for it's crazy amount of depth and realism.

I enjoy playing NHL a lot more but GM mode in 2k is just fantastic. Funny this was brought up actually as I was thinking about this last night. I played a lot of GM in 2k from Dec-March and one thing the community always complained about was the regression/progression system was kinda bad (too predictable and everyone over 27 always regressed, no matter what IIRC). Instead of just ignoring the issue until next year, 2k released a patch in April to fix it. 6 months after the game was released! I really wish all developers would spend the time to listen to the consumers and treat their game the way 2k does.

Hoping for better tracking of players' careers. I want to be able to see a guy's year-by-year stats, teams he played for, all star teams and awards, cups won, etc. That would just make the world so much more immersive.

Totally agree. Never gonna happen.
