NHL 17 Adds World Cup of Hockey, Team Relocation, Many Customization Options & More

Hopefully you can create multiple teams and use images from the web instead of just lame pre-set logos. It won't be a worthy addition unless you could create say the KHL or Big10.

I'll take back a little bit of my snarky-ness from my last post they are actually rolling out a little bit of meat today ad not just a Cover Vote. To see customization being a focus has me just a little bit excited but I'm not going to get my hopes up.

Until they have stick on stick contact I won't get too impress.

This looks amazing!

They seem to have given gamers everything we asked for.

NHL 16 already has a solid foundation for the on-ice action, it just needs some tweaks, so all the additions seen in the trailer make it look like a perfect game now

Do you think the international team jerseys will be licensed this year? They've been sadly generic since I can remember

I believe the 2016 World Cup is sanctioned by the NHL and NHLPA. Olymplic/World Championship is sanctioned by the IIHF. It wouldn't surprise me if it's easier to get the World Cup uniforms for that reason.

What's with the Captain C on the goalie? Probably just a template thing?

Looks like they're adding some meat to the game, Im cautiously optimistic but like everyone, waiting on gameplay

Looks like they've added some signature goal celebrations, like ovi warming his hands.

Also i couldnt tell but it looks like they tried to add this celebration:

If this is the one they added its off a little but still really cool they added it in

If they do something like the old NCAA football team builder websites that would be incredible

If these guys can implement relocation like 2k that be so awesome. I hope they don't half *** it and have generic logos. Still wish they take idea with goalie masks as well. I'm glad they are trying to make it better at least

Man, is custom teams finally coming back? I hope so! Looks like we'll be able to customize the arenas as well, like we were able to do in NHL 2004! Pumped!

Fake! The Oilers appear to be doing well in this game.
They should have shown Edmonton drafting 1st overall for the 8th year in a row if they want to attract the hardcore fans.

I love to see all the customization options. Now, give us the ultimate customization option - roster sharing.

Told myself I'm skipping this year, but I've been wanting battles in front of the net for many years. If they make skating more realistic, neutral zone play better and realistic sticks and a defensive stick I'll get this game.

I skipped last years after getting the first ps4 version, ill be getting this though as looks as massive leap from their first effort - which was very bare bones.

Count me in the same boat.
Crease battles is something I know I'd enjoy.

But the one thing I've been dying for in a hockey game is Expansion/Relocation options.
If NHL17 has both, I'll be buying fo sho.

The Cleveland Costanzas will take the league by storm!
