Don't bother. It's pretty bad.

I wouldn't say don't bother. I think it depends what you expectations are. If you're expecting NHL 13/14 with next-gen graphics, it's a good game. But, gameplay wise, everything you liked is probably the same, and on the same token, anything you hated is there still as well.

The small tweaks help, but by and large, I find the gameplay to be nearly identical to NHL13 and 14 on last gen consoles. If you're okay with that, then I think it's worth it at a discount.

So, if you hated NHL13/14, avoid it. If you loved it, you should love this, if (like me) you thought it was an okay game, that needed a ton of work, but was sadly the only representation of hockey available so you suffer through it begrudgingly...you'll still think that. You'll just think it while admiring the shiny new glass and annoying NHL mascots.

So my take from this authentic goalies with real emotion is we'll see Henrik Lundqvist flip the goal over every 25 games or so.

I love this year's game and can't wait for the new version. The Owner-mode GM features are a nice addition.

With authentic goalies being in, does this mean Fleury will be Swiss cheese in net like he is in real life?

EA Sports managed to produce an incredible amount of words considering they say practically nothing.

Man we hockey gamers are so bad....my self included at times. They used an incredible amount of words? If it was a short article with limited info we would crush them for that. Say nothing we kill them, say something we call them liars......NHL 16 albeit next gen NHL 14 was not a bad game. Can't we just wait until the game comes out at least before we drop the usual insults and complaints on them?
