Not sure if NHL series still has this anymore, I haven't seen this happen personally in 17, but in the past when you would injure someone or someone injured your team, that player would get booed every time they touched the puck. It was awesome. They could've added to that by now by creating new smaller budding rivalries and a chippier game the following matchup like you stated.

I need a game with the "tradition" of hockey, not a fancy arcade game. The trees is a joke taken from the overtime to make a boring mode. Why not to improve actual modes first (gm,draft, career..). Where is the story mod? The classic team game mod? Too much work probably...
Create a mascott? Well why not but next a real create a player or a sharing roster.Comment

I have been a huge Debbie Downer on the NHL series over the years. That's been noted on here plenty of times. Looking back I probably should have been a bit more constructive, but I'm not even sure that would have mattered in getting things changed for how I wanted things etc.
I think most of my frustrations come from them being so close over the years, a tweak here, a tweak there game play wise would be really well done. Then year after year things, obvious things just ignored. Well maybe not ignored but just not have the man power to fix things or it was very low on priority list for whatever reason.
NHL 09, 10, 14, and now 17 were the games I enjoyed the most offline franchise wise.
If they build on 17 into 18 with this revamped AI, this is huge for offline and even online.
Awesome both sides of the puck now how a skill stick.
My favorite thing to do in EASHL etc is set up my teammates, so glad I will be able to put passes where I want and use the boards easier.
Gameplay wise over 15 and 16 left me kind of sour, making me want again for EA to market the game as an arcade one with sim elements. This made me want them to bring back 3 on 3 arcade hockey. Fun, over the top, easy to pick up and play etc. Games over quickly..
Then boom, they bring it back within NHL 18. They have the arcade version online/offline and with a campaign type mode, fantastic. They also have the sim type mode of 3 on 3 online in EASHL, fantastic. My buddy and I were talking just last week how its only usually 2 or 3 of us playing and how great it would be to play 3 on 3 in EASHL. Cracks me up the average EASHL games are played with just 2.1 players per team. This kind of changes the game online. Even so for e-sports. Find 2 other buds and dominate 3 on 3.
CO-OP, this is great with all the options. I'm just hoping I can invite my buddy into my franchise and play on my team. This would be great, especially since there is No GM Connected Mode again. 64 ways to play CO-OP? This has to be in right?
Expansion will be fun to mess with, only for me adding a 32nd team. Nice to have these options.
All in all my game play expectations have softened and I'm not as nit picky or as die hard as I used to be. I just want some decent game play to tweak, adjust, and have fun with all while getting solid stats in a short time. From the looks of it we will have all kinds of options to do that in NHL 18. We shall see.Twitch

Ignoring gameplay which I think is going to be the most important thing, I think the expansion has potential...but if the customization is still as weak as it was last year, it won't matter to me.
The team names and logos provided in game are all pretty weak, assuming you don't want to use some goofy name like the "Deke and Destroy" or "Fear the Beards". It would be nice if they ripped a chapter out of the NBA 2K book and really revamped the customization of characters, jerseys and rinks.
NBA 2K gives you an insane level of customization, letting you import your own logos, accents for jerseys, and court customization. It would be incredible to have that in the NHL series.Comment

I think it's important to remember that this is a video game, and it's never going to be perfect to the actual game. We can really only hope to get closer and get small improvements game play wise.
If you look at it that way the game is less frustrating to play. You're no longer looking for that one thing that doesn't work but adapting and playing the game.
I would really love Roster Share, Mask Customization, and more Create-A-Team customisation, but I feel that it might not ever happen because of copyright concerns. They could have to deal with trade mark and licensing issues if players replicate items or players.
Not saying that is a fun answer, but a logical one.Comment

Real goalie masks? Sure. But I don't see how allowing people to upload images of their own choice affects EA in any way. I tried searching around to see if NBA 2K has run into the same issue, and all I've been able to track down is a lawsuit regarding Lebron's tattoos, but that was an issue with 2K sports themselves, not a 3rd party adding it to the game.
As for changing the outlook on the game, I know it won't ever be a 100% sim, but for me it's tough to even get it remotely close most of the time. When 3/4 of my offensive zone entries are me by myself with 5 other players backing up, or when my defenders just insist on following players and moving around and almost playing keep away from the other team when they have the puck...it's frustrating to say the least.
I'm being cautiously optimistic, but after the past few years I'm certainly not holding my breath or throwing away my standards for the game.Comment

I love Customization. The Expansion draft sounds fun and interesting.
Hopefully the NHL makers played some NBA 2K (MyLeague), where you have so much ability to create things your way and got some ideas from it.
*Things I want in the Game - Edit/Create Draft Classes - Replace Multiple Teams - Created Team Templates - Editing Players - And MoreComment

Re: After Today's NHL 18 Reveals: What Do You Think About This Year's Game? (Roundtab
The only 2 things I want them to add to the Franchise mode, is firstly the ability to search for a particular type of player through the trade block, and also for more info, such as stats, trades, injuries etc to be displayed on the franchise interface. Both these features were including in the old gen version so its about time they were incorporated in the current version.

I still don't think I will be buying this game. I just don't see enough change to warrant me putting down my hard earned $60 for this franchise anymore. Yeah they added a couple of good things, but it is overshadowed by useless garbage like 3-3 crap. Now if they would have skipped that stuff and invested that time (which the say they never have enough of) in making the features that people actually play better....then yeah. But as it stands, the addition of such silly and unrequested features is sending all the wrong signals to me. For me...it's a pass.Comment

^ LOL preordered, not a good idea.
I'm taking a break from ALL EA Sports games for a while, I doubt NHL 18 will be any better than 15,16,17 were but hey that's just the disgruntled in me.Comment

Re: After Today's NHL 18 Reveals: What Do You Think About This Year's Game? (Roundtab
I'm really interested in the 3-on-3 mode.
I'll wait for the game to drop and price and then check it out.
Not sure if anyone remembers, but NHL Hitz had a pond-hockey mode that was hella fun.
I'm hoping this is similar.Comment
