NHL 16 (Early Access) Bugs, Problems, and Mistakes

Re: NHL 16 (Early Access) Bugs, Problems, and Mistakes

1. I've always had my game speed sliders at 1 and there is no way to try and play it once the frame rate problem kicks in, although when I did pause the game it did smooth things out again...


2. The same slider saving problem as the beginning of last year is there....you set your sliders, start a game and then look at your sliders and the exact same certain slider problems occur...the ones off hand are...player recovery, one timer accuracy and shot accuracy...


3. I was really pumped when they said you can set and also SAVE team strategies so you don't have to every game.. well its not true unless I'm missing something. I feel setting the proper strategies for teams and lines is a big thing in the game and makes it play differently. If we gotta do it before every game again this year that a real put off....

Re: NHL 16 (Early Access) Bugs, Problems, and Mistakes

Platform: Xbox One
Issue: Personalized game settings not being preserved
Mode: Be a Pro
How: Started a Be a Pro career, didn't care for Authentic, 20 minute periods and once you start your career it appears that you cannot change them. Started a second Be a Pro career, set to Casual and 6 minute periods and played first game. Left career mode, and later returned via "Continue" off the Main Menu and the settings were back to Authentic, 20 minute periods and unable to be changed.

Occurred once so far...

Re: NHL 16 (Early Access) Bugs, Problems, and Mistakes

Platform: Xbox One
Issue: CPU no look passing when facing backwards from the play is way too accurate

Mode: All modes with CPU gameplay

How: The CPU can be facing the wrong way and closely guarded by a defender yet play a miracle no look pass tape to tape for a cpu onetimer goal

How Often: about once a game or anytime during the game the cpu filters someone down into a shooting spot and needs to play the perfect pass to them regardless of how ridiculous it looks or how out of position/defended they are.

I have video if it is needed

Re: NHL 16 (Early Access) Bugs, Problems, and Mistakes

It may not be a bug, but its certainly a mistake: season goal totals are still not tracked in any mode (season, GM, or Be a Pro)

It seems like such an easy thing to implement, I do NOT understand it. Does EA just think it's no big deal? Do they just not care about small details that greatly increase the users feeling of being immersed into a hockey world?

You could be in game 82 of the season, pushing for 1 more goal to win the Rocket Richard. You light the lamp in the final minute of the game and the dreaded display comes up telling you that its your first goal of the season. ARE YOU KIDDING ME

This is a huge mistake by EA, in my opinion. Only thing I can say is theres alot of people complaining, so maybe we'll see a patch. Although, I doubt it. You can, however, got to box score in-game and it eill show their goal total there. Its inconvenient but at least you can see how many goals that makes for a certain player, rather than waiting til' after the game.

What's the bug? Goalie, mid play, freezes for several seconds.
What mode did you experience the glitch/bug in? EASHL
How did it happen or what did you do to trigger it? Can you recreate it? It happens sporadically and doesn't seem to be any specific thing that triggers it.
How often has the bug been reproduced? I experienced it 3 times personally, and witnessed one other. It most certainly can be reproduced by simply playing Goalie in EASHL.
Do you have video or a picture? I have video, just need to find it but it's buried in multiple hour streams so likely won't find.

That's a real disappointment. I HATED that sliders wouldn't stick last year. Hopefully this gets worked on.

Re: NHL 16 (Early Access) Bugs, Problems, and Mistakes

I have to ask:

Example:
Platform: XB1
Whats the bug? Sidney Crosby's uniform number is 86, should be 87
What mode did you experience the glitch/bug in? All modes.
How did it happen or what did you do to trigger it? In-game default. Can you recreate it? See previous.
How often has the bug been reproduced? Constant
Do you have video or a picture? [Picture]

Is this a real thing or was it just used as an example?

Just an example.

Re: NHL 16 (Early Access) Bugs, Problems, and Mistakes

Problem (All versions): Can't start 1st Be A GM season at the entry draft.

Sure, probably not a bug, but a sucky omission nonetheless

Re: NHL 16 (Early Access) Bugs, Problems, and Mistakes

Why would you start the season at the entry draft? Not trying be a wise guy but I dont get it. McDavid and almost all prospects are already in the game.

Re: NHL 16 (Early Access) Bugs, Problems, and Mistakes

Platform: XB1

What mode did you experience the glitch/bug in? Play now
How did it happen or what did you do to trigger it? Turned game speed down from 3 to 2
Can you recreate it? See previous.
How often has the bug been reproduced? Constant

Re: NHL 16 (Early Access) Bugs, Problems, and Mistakes

Platform: Xbox One
What's the bug? Players twitching/lagging
What mode did you experience the glitch/bug in? Be a GM
How did it happen or what did you do to trigger it? Can you recreate it? Not sure, but likely because the game speed is below 3 (I saw it at 0, 1, and 2).
How often has the bug been reproduced? Intermittently every game I play
Do you have video or a picture? No, but one can be provided if needed. Many others seem to be having this issue as well.

Re: NHL 16 (Early Access) Bugs, Problems, and Mistakes

Sorry, no bug but the only EA access thread still open.... After buying the disc, does the game reinstall again or does it use the download from EAA?

Should I delete the game from access? Running out of hard drive space lol

Re: NHL 16 (Early Access) Bugs, Problems, and Mistakes

Why would you start the season at the entry draft? Not trying be a wise guy but I dont get it. McDavid and almost all prospects are already in the game.

Because that was how I chose to start all of my Be A GM seasons since NHL09. I know that some of the prospects from the 2015 entry draft are in the game, but taking away the ability to start a GM at the entry draft eliminates the possibility of trying to trade up before the draft with my team and grab one of them. The very first entry draft of a new GM season was always my favorite up until NHL 15. Especially with the talent pool in the 2015 draft, this would've been a lot of fun.

Or....maybe you're unhappy with the RFA and UFA moves your favorite team made in the off season (cough, cough, Rangers.... cough, cough). This was always a nice chance to redo it in the game.

I'm also betting that I'm not the only one disappointed with the removal of this option.
