NHL 16 Features Revealed, EASHL Returns, Full List of Game Modes & More

Speaking of ratings, I hope that EA will eventually one day add multiple positions for certain players.
Datsyuk and Zetterberg can both play LW and C equally.
Tyler Ennis started as a LW but is now a C. He can switch between the two. Jeff Carter? RW and C.

The list goes on and on.

It'd be nice to see some guys have different attributes depending on where they lined-up.
It would also give GM's more options knowing they have guys that can play multiple positions.

IMO, this is long overdue.

Roster editing and a roster share would breathe fresh air into this game like none other. Let's be honest, EA does not have a good track record with NHL's roster updates. While Madden and NBA 2K get weekly updates - the NHL series seems like they go 4-6 weeks at a time and then the ratings barely change.

Being able to have the Revamped team comb through ratings and attributes and equipment then be able to share it without the need of third party programs would be fantastic. The Revamped 14 project, literally, changed how NHL 14 played. Anyone who believes that the edit player function isn't useful never used that roster.

I can only hope that the NHL team took the feedback and backlash that was NHL 15 and made some drastic changes including adding the edit player function.

Another thing FIFA has that is well-implemented. It's less well-implemented with generated youth players, but none the less, multiple positions are in. Sometimes you have that defensive midfielder who can also play CB. The left footed CM who is also capable of playing on the left side, and isn't very effective on the right.

It would also be nice if they differentiated between LD and RD, which may be more hassle than it's worth, but some guys do play better on one side compared to the other

EASHL makes it a day one buy for me. It's the only reason I didn't by 15,

How about hats on the ice for hat tricks and also I wish they would clean up the animation for when you score and the one player jumps on the back of the other very unrealistic and it just looks plain awkward. I do really like that they found Doc to robotic and he will have more emotion for the play by play. I really think they nailed Eddie and Ray they just need more content which they said they will add. So hopefully gameplay will be better with better defense but as it is right now I will pre order the game this year most likely instead of waiting for the fire sale.

.......people like this are why we can't have nice things.

because I want to sit around and edit players? people like you are the reason we can't have comment boards. negativity sucks man. Someone posted a good point, it's EA's job to do that work and we shouldn't have to do it, give us a weekly update. Gretzky numbers shouldn't be on non-Gretzky type players. Everyone hopes and wishes for all their dreams to be in the game, which is equally as insane as wanting EA to do their job. Update their roster so I don't have to, when I could be actually PLAYING and enjoying the game. But keep posting negative comments and "FIRST!" if you want though. It looks like the majority wants it, so hopefully for you and everyone else, EA will add it. I want Be A GM Online and it's not on there, I'm still going to buy it, play it and love it. I wouldn't go after someone else on here and blow them up because they have their thoughts or opinions

Do you think EA is doing their work in making their roster reflect the real players? Do you think that it is OK to have a line 4 player play like Crosby? In your experience, does EA release a much improved roster every week, 2x a month, or monthly?

We are trying to get the EA's attention that they are not doing their job when it comes roster. This was not only last year or the other year's issue, its an on going issue. How come when it comes to roster sharing or roster update, most games outside EA are allowing roster sharing and doing at least 2x a week roster updates?

Sorry to hurt your feeling but EA SUCKS big time when it comes to player differentiation and roster updates.

I dont trust anything from this game until I see it. AI needs to be improved, goalies need to be improved and they really need to stop making the game too easy to play. More realism all around is sorely needed.

I haven't gotten an NHL game in a few years, but am considering it.
- Editing current players is a must for me.
- And I'd really like to be able to Create a team.
- Also, can you edit the draft classes and make your own prospects?

You can do none of that.

You can't edit any of the real players or create a team but you can create a prospect and put him in the minor leagues and this should make him draftable in Be a GM.
