Re: Haven't played since NHL 14 on PS3. Does 18 look worth a buy to me?

I got nhl 18 for free. what i did was go find every NHL transaction on nhl.com since the last roster update. It took me 40 min to go to my NHL 17 and do all the trades, waivers, retirements, free agency and update them. and Voila.. there's NHL 18. Now all i have to do is wait for SEPT 15 so someone can post the team by team roster on Youtube, and all the players ratings.. then i can edit each player to the updated rating, which will take me another 1 hr.. and there u have it.. NHL 18 for FREE.. Also, i MUST keep this game cuz i created every NHL legend.. it took me 8 days to create 160 players and 10 classic teams.I am NOT starting this thing over again.. NO WAY..

As we all know, it is the EXACT game as 17, so i'll be just as happy. plus 92 CANADIAN dollars in my pocket, incl taxes.

Good grief, is the board always this jaded?

I feel like I just asked where to find a movie, and got told "Just torrent it. Free."

Hey, that sounds amazing. What exactly did you use as a resource for creating your players? I mean ratings and so on. I imagine you didn't bother much with getting them to look correct, the face making is garbage in NHL.

I'm sceptical. I stopped playing NHL years ago. Though I bought NHL 17 on PS4 to play against a friend.

There so many bad things about the NHL series that never gonna get fixed. It will live on though because people keep buying it and support it.

So my answer is no.

I played multiple completed seasons in NHL 14. I did the same in NHL 16, won the cup, and had a blast. NHL 17 I played half a season and that was it. Mainly just played with my buds online in EASHL. Why? Game was stale vs CPU no matter the sliders etc.

NHL 18 could be more of the same, but the better positional play by the CPU AI and then using all controls could breathe some life into franchise games. We shall see, hope so!

If you haven't bought a game since NHL 14, pick up NHL 18 when you see it 39.99 and under.

I gave up pretty quickly with NHL 17 as well.

I hooked up my Xbox 360 after not using for a while (so I can get back into Forza 3/4, etc) and been playing NHL Legacy again, AI is spectacular compared to next gen NHL.

How could goalies be worse? Unless you mean ai...cause they never had player individuality for tenders.

Lundqvist plays the same as Ben bishop in ea hockey. Can't believe it's 2017 and certain goalies don't have their own animations. If I play 2k lebron has his signature moves,layups and shot. Why in 2017 do all goalies in ea play the same
