Where Does NHL Go From Here?

[RaychelSnr]

Now that we've had a substantial amount of time to digest NHL 17 and its pros and cons, we're getting a bigger picture of what the OS community thinks about it. The general perception is a favorable one, with many praising the vast array of positives while ensuring the handful of negatives are also well documented.

Today, we'll focus on those negatives and discuss some areas we'd particularly like the folks at EA to focus on moving forward.

Revamped presentation, Frostbite engine and full roster flexibility are the changes that need to be implemented in '18 for this series to truly take the next step.

Abilty to edit player names as to create classic rosters
Roster sharing
Old school goalie masks
Ability to have players have NO helmet
Rebranding as in NBA 2k17
Custom goalie masks

New commentary, custom masks would add a lot , quicker roster updates , quicker patches, communication from e.a , smarter a.I, if u could follow the mold that NBA 2k17 has done or some aspects of it .

I second the AI improvement. It seems like our EASHL D are complete morons while our opponents' will squirrel their way out of anything. I'd also love the ability to select what style players our AI line mates are. The ability to save strategy settings from game to game seems like s no brainer, but yet it is not available. You can in HUT but not EASHL. Finally, what my team sees as some sort of ping assist that gives us insurmountable lag since we have good connections. My ping is consistently 10ms yet it feels like I'm driving a train some games.

We NEED to be able to edit stats DURING GM mode..that way we can keep up with the current roster edits...why is this so difficult? It's been in MLB The Show since day 1....nothing more frustrating than starting a season and wanting to boost a players attributes based on real life and having to start all over to do so..

I fully believe frostbite will give the push this series needs. High expectations for 18

I think the gameplay of the series is pretty solid rn.

Still alot of AI issues but regardless the game with some slider adjustments just looks like hockey.

However its time they took a year to flesh out all the game modes and update them to the standards 2k and Sony currently present.

Give both GM and EASHL equal treatment this game needs a proper single player option to the mulitplayer modes.

GM mode need roster share, sliders and a real scouting tool.

I always think gameplay should come first. In saying that A.I. Still need a lot of work. It's getting better but you still scratch your head a lot of the time. That plus ratings need to be wider still or have more impact then they do now. In saying all this I'm highly enjoying this years game.
