NHL 17 Adds World Cup of Hockey, Team Relocation, Many Customization Options & More

Deeper slider sets would be a must. Make it so we can adjust sliders with greater control and to greater effect. The sliders are just not all that great as they are now. Some people have mentioned doing sliders like, I think it was, Madden. Where you have more flexibility in the adjustments you make. I'd probably buy if they were re-done and roster sharing was brought back.

Maybe as a defender I don't want to tie up with their massive power forward, because Shattenkirk can't win that battle. I would like to be able to risk a few crosschecks, and then stay near them trying to tie up their stick.

You bring up an interesting topic.
Will tie-ups work the same as the board pinning? I don't want suction, and I sure as heck want size and attributes to play a role.
It would really help to distinguish the large power forwards in the league.

It was dumb to remove this at all. -Slider saving and sharing. Why can I not have more than one slider set saved and ready to pick? This is not difficult. Put it in. Sometimes I like a Cycloniac game, sometimes I like a TNK game. Maybe I want to save slider sets for home and away, playoff and regular season. -The rest is good, but window dressing to me. It's important, and obviously it's important to many, so I want to say that it's good to take those steps up.

well....technically, this feature never really existed....officially. Someone was able to crack the rosters on the old gen and that is as close as we have ever gotten to a roster share from EA NHL.

As what I would assume is one of the most requested features, to not see this mentioned int his video is slightly concerning to me. It's early in the cycle, so obviously lots of time for it to sneak in, and with that much time to go still, they've got to keep the hype train rolling and keep some stuff held back for now.

I'm sure there's a hidden Bettman Blocker that prevents any struggling teams in non-traditional markets from being moved out.
However, every BaGM mode starts off with a prompt "Where would you like to move the Senators?".

You don't even play at Hartwall Arena or in Globen, you play in a generic EA Arena.
