NHL 16 - 5 months in - How is it in its current form?

Have not been following it much this year, but how is it right now with any patches and latest tuners. Regret buying it? Having a blast? Mediocre? Give me your quick thoughts (or longer if you want)

It's certainly not without a couple of issues, but I'm loving this game. It's been a long time since I could play a hockey game for hours like I have been with this game. Once you find your sliders, this game is pretty addicting.

I think you'd be best served renting the game/borrowing it from a friend.

This game is more polarizing than previous games have been—seems like you either love it or hate it. I've had a lot of fun with it, but I also think there are far too many flaws.

Definitely has its issues (major penalty glitch, a little won't AI when CPU has the puck behind its own net, etc) but they are onto something really special. I also think there is more player separation than is given credit.

As I've recently posted in the tuner thread.. for me, it's the best NHL game EA has put out. Yes there are a few issues.. mainly for me no goal totals besides going into the box score (not shown in game), some puck/goalie pad issues, stick collisions in some places need improved and some other small nitpicks.. but I love the game.

I'm 60+ games into my BeaGM and the morale system adds some depth, the areas are great, game play is fun and doesn't feel superhuman with slider settings.
