NHL 16 Features Scheduled to be Revealed on May 19th

[Steve_OS]

EA Sports has just announced they will reveal the full features set for NHL 16 on Tuesday, May 19th.

What are you expecting and/or hoping to hear about?

[Dazraz]

Season Mode & I'll be happy.

Seems like all they are going to be able to do, at best, is copy and paste feature set from NHL 14.

At the very least, feature parity with last gen.

Well, hopefully they put all cards on the table this time, after last year, more will be trying to call a bluff...

Even though Im atleast expecting same features as NHL14, Im hoping for some improvements also.
Atleast they will have low expectations and they cant make it worse than last year, can they? That would be a feat!

It won't be feature parity, that's for sure. We won't see NHL 94 mode and probably no Winter Classic but the core modes: HUT, Be a Pro, EASHL, Couch Co-Op, etc... are almost certain. A lot of their Game Changers have been tweeting bits and pieces about 16, so hints are already out there.

I'm sure it will be an underwhelming list of things we've already seen before. Revolutionary EASHL! Complete with draft DURING launch! Be A Pro where you can sim forward! Edit player! Zamboni races! NHL 94 mode! And a personal apology from Sean Ram Jag Singh for the crappy quality of last year's game!

If there's not a Season Mode it will prove that fan feedback is useless.

Couldnt care less about modes like NHL 94 actually, but since NHL15 was missing most core modes I expect they are in and hopefully improved. If I see something like HUT improvements on 19th I will rage! The amount of attention in NHL15 on that mode should be enough for years to come.... but seems next shouldnt be called HUT16 so that leaves a shimmer of hope.

HUT isn't going away, the numbers are there at most NHL players play that mode, it was the case even on 360/PS3. I doubt everyone is going to be happy on the 19th but I am hopeful we get the core modes that were lacking in year one.

Are features the same as modes ? Lol... Hmmm. I'm thinking we are going to hear things like new and improved physics. New super duper deking, and for the first time ever in a hockey game the spin-o-rama move that kind of stuff.

No understand that, but hope they havent put too much manpower on HUT this year, that is all I mean :-)
Hoping they focused on getting the missing modes back even if HUT s their cashcow.

No, features are not same as modes but I hope NHL16 will feature more modes than NHL15. But yeah also guessing the features they present will be super dekes that you dont even have to perform, just press Iwin button and player will deke from behind own net all the way to opposing net, fool the goalie into the hotdog stand and backhand the puck in left upper corner of the net, easy as pie!
They have also included a "sim to next offense" button and excluded the possibility to play as defense because who the f××k wanna play defense!??
And also some physics that no one know wtf it does but they have involved all of NASA researchers, expecting to be the first game to win the Nobelprize... That will sell games for sure!
Maybe your random average winger will figureskate in such speed and lack of momentum that the particleaccelerator in Cern will look like a little children's carousel breaking all laws of physics and uncover the Higgs Boson! The possibilities are endless of what they can do!


As I said hoping atleast for some news about modes but hopes are not high...
