Referring to the A.I. I play 2-2 or 3-3 (not enough friends for 6-6) so I been use to the A.I. For years. Things that are great is they aren't huge liabilities on defence any more. They poke check and stay Infront of their man better then they ever have before. I have yet to see them take a stupid penalty. They don't dump the pick in near the blue line anymore which is great so you now have a lot more offencive chances. The are a little better moving the puck around offensively however sometimes they do feed you the puck down low when your swarmed by guys.
Their are a few negatives. When they have the puck in their own zone the tend to go behind the net and lose control or just stand thier and get the puck poked away. This could be due to everything is as defensively as possible as default team settings and me and my buddies are skating to far up ice.
all in all I'm happy with how the game is. You really have to work the puck around for good scoring chances. Goalies seem really solid as well.Comment

Re: NHL 16 EASHL Beta Available Now For Xbox One and PlayStation 4, Extended Unti...
On Xbox One, I keep getting errors when it comes to downloading.
From the NHL 15 menus it'll state the servers are unavailable.
From the Dashboard the tile to download is grayed out with "Unavailable".
I even tried the Rammer34 Friends process and that didn't work.
What gives?Comment

Goaltending was extremely glitchy and laggy. I like the new animations, but was very tough to play when it reacts after you make a movement. Didn't know how to do the desperation saves either, were they taken out of the game?Don't let good be the enemy of greatComment

Ya it was tough the one game I played. The left trigger makes it so you can do finite movements (which I think it should be default. Right trigger now makes you go to butterfly which is weird because I'm so use to the left trigger doing that. I never found the desperation saves so it must be auto now. Plus you don't teslly see goalies stack the pads anymore. That was more a stand up goalie thing and that doesn't exist anymoreComment

Re: NHL 16 EASHL Beta Available Now For Xbox One and PlayStation 4, Extended Until Au
It's better than last years OTP where people in my friends list and I had to do the ole' 3,2,1, press A.
It looks like you'll have a locker room feel, but I don't understand why you wouldn't have the ability to invite friends from your console's friends list. Feels like backwards technology if they leave it out.Comment

I have this same problem on my xbox one. I have rebooted it by holding the power button.
No difference. I am looking for it the exact ways you described and I am getting the same results. Error or Unavailable.
I did get an email from EA thanking me for joining the beta...

Re: NHL 16 EASHL Beta Available Now For Xbox One and PlayStation 4, Extended Until Au
I was disappointed by the goalie position most of all. The goalie position should have such precise movement but it is so stuttery when you move. Even with the left trigger down. And what did they do with the post hugging. Using the left bumper is so awkward especially while using left trigger to keep your goalie from over moving. They should capitalize on the right stick and allow you to use that to move your glove and stick hands. Up and to the right with the stick defends a right top shelf shot, straight down covers the five hole and so on. It's too tough of a position to be as herky jerky as it is. BTW the desperation saves are mapped to the X/square button depending on controllerXbox live: Nat3dAWg

Yeah goalie controls were much better in nhl14. Not sure why they felt the need to change them.Comment

Re: NHL 16 EASHL Beta Available Now For Xbox One and PlayStation 4, Extended Until Au
I got in two games last night as a Defensive Defenseman (and let me apologize to anyone who had me as a teammate, I'm terrible on EASHL!):
+ Skating in general seems much improved, "smoother" if I had to choose a word. It's hard to say exactly how much as I was playing D and on my heels most of the time.
+ It's harder to pile on the big hits, which is a good thing (15 was a bit too NHL Hitz). I was constantly trying to line guys up and not having much success, then again the new camera (for me) and skating controls may have been a factor.
+ If the menus run this fast in the full game, then they are much improved over 15.
+ No goalie interference in either game!!! I was averaging at least one or two a game in 15.
+ OS'ers probably couldn't care less about this stuff, but I have to admit I did enjoy seeing the mascot riling up the crowd (albeit through the glass on the opposite side of the arena as I was serving a penalty at the time).
- Both games I played featured CPU goalies, and in both instances they seemed fairly clueless. I kid you not, on one play the CPU goalie went for the cover, then immediately passed the puck to the opponent directly in front of the net for the easy score. Frustrating.
I was generally pleased with the beta, I managed to have fun even though I've never played EASHL and never use the default camera.www.heyimbill.com | sports poster art and other cool stuffComment
