NHL 17 Wishlist Thread

Re: NHL 17 Wishlist Thread

For me it is all gameplay.

AI - It is seriously time for a complete overhaul. The fact that my CPU players completely abandon the man in the slot is dumbfounding. I like the way this year there are more sticks in the lane, but there seems to be no actual awareness of where the opposing players are. And that's just one example of many questionable AI choices.

Player Separation - I like the direction they are headed with the player separation, and would like to see that continued to an even greater degree.

Different Styles for Teams - Right now, every team plays the same way. When I play against the CPU, it really doesn't matter which skin is on the player for that game, the things they do will be the same with all 30 teams. I'd like to see different game styles, so that I would have to adjust my game based on the team I am playing. Like playing against a free wheeling fast team, would be totally different from a defensive minded team that looks for opportunities. It would be nice to play a game where I didn't know immediately how they were going to play.

Re: NHL 17 Wishlist Thread

goalie mode - anticipation goalie saves (not NHL 15 route or NHL 16 route)
but better save animations. I prefer you add goalie anticipation goalie saves back in but go the NHL 16 route keep NHL 16 goalie system, but.. just add anticipation goalie saves back in - please I will revive goalie mode

we need the improvements on NHL helper may help.

please bring back goalie positional indicators

we desperately need different goalie stance positions for each style: standup and hybrid and butterfly, did you know across the NHL goalie have different positions, so I want you to investigate how standup or hybrid or a butterfly goalie stand and hold out his glove and blocker and how wide his five hole his when standing.

Broken stick frequency: 2 - this setting cuts off players speed for some reason. I suggest you check it.

am desperate for realistic games when I play as forward in be a gm, I want to be able to loose some games now and then, not just win them all, in real life sometimes you only go on 3 game winning streak before its snapped due to fatigue.

please increase - human goalie reaction speed for human players please, its too low right now.

all we need now is: text sim and sim to next shift.

my wish for next generations of NHL games.

Re: NHL 17 Wishlist Thread

1. I would like more traffic in front of the net...
2. Players go the the net instead of stand there or turn away when a shot is taken..
3. Better and more realistic rebounds and again players looking to get the rebound...kind of relates to my last improvement
4. Better overall AI in all stages of the game..
5. Be able to go to main/customize screen and set team strategies and line strategies for each team and save them for all modes...that's a big one for me.
6. A BETTER SLIDER SYSTEM SAY 1-10 FOR ALL SLIDERS, AND MAKE YOU REALLY NOTICE A DIFFERENCE FROM MIN TO MAX....THATS A BIG ONE ALSO. I BELIEVE THERE ARE MANY GAMERS OUT THERE(INCLUDING ME) THAT AREN'T SURE EXACTLY WHAT SOME EVEN DO.

I've got more but for right now these seem to stand out....

Re: NHL 17 Wishlist Thread

I would just like the net front presence battles to be added back in. It brought an exciting element to NHL 14.

Re: NHL 17 Wishlist Thread

 Some things I would love to see in NHL 17:

#1. In HUT for collection purposes under each team is the silhouette of the cards you need and once you get the card it fills in. So you know 100% what you need. This can include all the TOTW’s ect.

#2. When playing vs online it takes unneeded time to edit your lineup. If an roster update comes out you should be able to edit the team you use and move the players around on that team. So when it comes time for the matchup you can get into the game faster.

#3. In GM mode I want to be able to sign my players in the regular season.

Re: NHL 17 Wishlist Thread

I just came up with another. Bring back the coin rewards for completing collections! At least with that you can choose what you want for your team instead of the rolling the dice with the mini packs!

That & MILESTONES too

Adding Commentary from Doc & Eddie would be nice too

Re: NHL 17 Wishlist Thread

GET RID of the CONTRADICTORY commentary from Ray Navarro as he comments on the success (Or lack thereof) in the last 10 games of a team in BAP

In other words, if a team is doing good, he should only comment that way. Don't have him tell the audience how good they've been & THEN tell the audience how BAD they've been in THE SAME 10 game stretch A FEW MINUTES LATER !!!

That would be a starter.....

Cheers

I think that meant Ray "Ferraro"...not Ray "Navarro"

Re: NHL 17 Wishlist Thread

Some quick thoughts:

Gameplay:
- improve seemless puck pickups... It's better this year, but there is still room for improvement
- improve boardplay
- make AI defenseman better at holding the blue line. AI seldom forces a dump and chase and carrying it into the zone is a bit too easy

GM
- make an injury system that incorporates fatigue... And make goalie fatigue affect their performance
- option to create a prospect(s) for the draft
- full-featured practice mode within GM

Other:
- full-featured practice mode with free skate, situational drills and editable game scenarios
- trainer that teaches you the different control mechanics as well as how the different tactics work.

Re: NHL 17 Wishlist Thread

EASHL- Club Hub. When entering the mode, have club specific information posted. Division placement, Overall,Monthly, and season record, and ranking where applicable. Last 5 games played results. A randomized section showing top 5 club players at any given stat. Each of these sections would be selectable to open up more detailed and specific information.
- Club Roster. One thing I have always found to be slightly annoying is how the stats tables are beyond the field of view like an unmodified spreadsheet. A condensed chart that fix all on one screen would be nice. Or maybe player cards with headshots, number, handedness, rank, etc. I'm not implying this would be an easy fix, but a lot of this information is already being tracked by the game. Additional information like DOB,hometown, etc for this mode really seems to serve no purpose, as it's not viewable to others. I think a more fleshed out and developed club roster\stats page could add some polish to the game. Added to pre game and off ice overlays would be a nice touch to presentation.

Obviously there is any number of features that could enhance this mode, even by returning uniform customization,in game milestones, club achievements, etc. I just feel exposing more of what the mode already tracks by showing it more in the menus and during gameplay would really bring it into the next gen of gaming.

Re: NHL 17 Wishlist Thread

EA Trax, Authentic portraits, (NHL 17 would use 2015-16 headshots), Real Coaches, GM improvements, and owner mode are my predictions.

Re: NHL 17 Wishlist Thread

-The game to not freeze when trying to view a player's attributes in GM Mode.

-The ability to pick teams before the player class screen in EASHL Drop-In. It's repetitive see Chicago vs Tampa Bay every Drop-In match.

-The ability pick a position before searching for a lobby in EASHL Drop-In.

-Faster Menu Speeds. Come on, it's 2016 and the menus are slow. It's ridiculous.

Speaking about GM Mode, they need to take notes from FIFA's Manager and Player Career Mode, NBA 2K's MyGM and MyCareer Modes, and Madden's Connected Franchise.

-When I press a button in one of the menu's, the game should register my input the FIRST TIME. I shouldn't have to press the A button 5 times to advance to another menu in order press A 5 more times to advance again.

-Autosave feature. This is literally the only game where autosave isn't in the game. Like really?

Re: NHL 17 Wishlist Thread

For my is most important playable be a pro like a goalie. Pusch the be a pro in to live the life. And of course rework goalie stands based on their style, rework goalke save animation. And if you are not sure, that be a pro goalie be playable, add auto positioning button for goalie (ps4 controller R1 button is not used) like in fifa for be a pro mod. In hardcore mode a prefer whistle after save immideateli after refree lost puck of sight (glove save or puck under goalie). And pf course possibility of save, where goalie stay on the knee and puck is somewhere in his gear (outfit), of course to the whistle and of course with possibility of puck drob when goalie doesnt know abou that and stay in stance.
Generaly, i must say, for my is priority have fun playable game. Graphic is for my not important as first place. But i have very strenght feeling that NhL 15 and 16 for next-gen is from start to now released with bugs and uncomplete.
