Re: NHL 17 New Features Revealed

Very disappointing reveal for me. The only part that was remotely interesting was the meager mention of actual gameplay improvements. As if I care about setting ticket and concession prices. Make the trade deadline an actual event. Make free agency actually interesting and exciting. Make the playoffs feel like the playoffs. This is all just window dressing. I'm bummed.

100 point sliders and the mild gameplay mentions, specifically about control all zones (vague) is all that intrigues me.

With gameplay improvements...it seems like every year they just re-word things that have been in the game for years and advertise it as something new lol.

It sounds like Franchise will still be a Single Player Mode so I'll be sticking with the meagre Season Mode to play Offline with friends.

Nothing too revolutionary here as we could have picked up on many of the features from the "vision" trailer last month.

POSITIVES

+ Franchise and HUT customization
+ New cellys
+ HUT synergy
+ Improved goalie programming and authenticity
+ ECHL
+ Battles in front of net
+ Customizable areas

NEGATIVES

- No mention of ROSTER SHARING (hopefully saving it for E3 announcement)
- No coaches (generic or not)
- No synergy (line chemistry) for Franchise Mode.
- No GM connected or Online Franchise Mode
- Draft champions


I give EA Sports a solid B for their list of features. We got a good portion of what we were hoping for from our wishlists. Still many questions are unanswered. Hopefully we'll get one or two more new features mentioned at E3 like last year.

Did anyone notice that the feature list had absolutely NOTHING on presentation - nada, nothing, zip.

Weird? This would be the first time for this generation of consoles to not hype up Doc and the NBC package.

ECHL BABY! I didn't expect there to be so much to process within this release. Improvements to goalies... Stadium customization... Franchise mode... A lot going on. I love it!
