Agreed.. player separation is the best it has ever been! Puck is really loose now, bouncing off sticks, skates, boards, etc.

Seems to me like the CPU AI has improved too. I REALLY have to work to get good scoring chances and so far, I haven't seen one cheap goal.

The player separation is excellent now. No longer seeing the wrong players snipe, and carrying the puck with plugs is much less effective at generating offense. I like this direction.

And another fun game beating the Avs 5-2 with the Jets.
I've only played 7 or 8 games, but so far I'm seeing a noticeable difference between teams.
Colorado had a more porous defence than Chicago. And certain players are way more effective at threading needles or making low percentage passes.

Some goalies are rocks as well. Quick was dang near impossible to beat with any shot he could see. All 3 goals were scored off of rebound and goal-mouth scrambles.
Meanwhile, I was able to beat Varlamov with clean shots; albeit from in-tight.

There is definitely a lot of good going on with this series. the devs seem to be on the right track and are trying to provide a realistic experience.

I'm having a lot of fun with '16, but must say, I'm excited to see what NHL17 has to offer.
If the recent tuners are any indication, it should be a must-buy for me.
That's something I haven't said since NHL08.

Great points, and I agree about 17. I just hope that it doesn't all disappear, and we end up with the tuner going back in the right direction mid February again.

Question about the player separation. How are you guys seeing this? I don't see any at all. Is this because of the attribute effect slider? I have mine at 3 and see no difference. Heck, I had a defenseman for Buffalo skate toe to toe with Ovechkin...

[ballgameronny]

What sliders are you guys using?

I play with ATTRIBUTE SLIDERS at 0.

Playing as the Bruins, Marchand and Bergeron are on my penalty kill and each got a step on the dman after blocking a shot and they were gone!!

Here are the Sliders i use.
