I`m guessing its going to be like it is in Madden. It will replace Be a GM and Be a Pro as a modes and it will allow you to create player, GM or owner. I just hope this means the return of GMC within this mode since in Madden you can play both offline and online.

Hasn't 12 player physics been in since NHL 15?

At the risk of sounding too negative, this is just the usual NHL press release where everything is new and super hyped, and the details tend to show later that not much is actually that new, and things haven't changed a ton.

I'm looking forward to hearing about NHL17, but I'm definitely not getting hyped until I see some real development, some specific details, and hopefully some gameplay.

They were really good years ago at showing old vs new in terms of actual on-ice gameplay, which they sadly don't seem to do as much anymore. Hopefully they've got some much needed change to back up the excitement in their press release.

I thought it was NHL 13 or 14!

Franchise should involve arena costs, ticket/food pricing, team relocation, coach/scouts/training staff hiring/firing, etc etc. Madden had this for quite some time before.

Is NHL 16 bad? Is it worth picking up at a discount?

The description of the new franchise mode sounds a LOT life Madden's CFM, which I am NOT a fan off.

I'll believe it all once we get around August and all of what they are saying actually makes it come launch.

I actually made this comment to them in the survey, over and over, whenever they gave me free text to write in.
