      -Custom plays: zone entries, 3-2, 3-1; breakouts; custom PK and PP. Custom, custom, custom.

      -Smarter AI. This is a no-brainer, but difficult to execute. I would accept incremental improvement. Just improve.

      -Line change flexibility- more PP and PK options, ability to choose standard lines on PP and PK. Also, Home team changes last. Please.

      -Roster sharing. It was dumb to remove this at all.

      -Slider saving and sharing. Why can I not have more than one slider set saved and ready to pick? This is not difficult. Put it in. Sometimes I like a Cycloniac game, sometimes I like a TNK game. Maybe I want to save slider sets for home and away, playoff and regular season.

      -The rest is good, but window dressing to me. It's important, and obviously it's important to many, so I want to say that it's good to take those steps up.

        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.

        Crease battles will be nice, if they do them right. They had that obnoxious animation that sucked you in (I think NHL14?) where if you tried skating by a defender, they would automatically tie you up, even if the puck was in the corner. I'm all for EA adding things, I just hate when they take away your control in the process.

        Maybe as a defender I don't want to tie up with their massive power forward, because Shattenkirk can't win that battle. I would like to be able to risk a few crosschecks, and then stay near them trying to tie up their stick.

          Deeper slider sets would be a must. Make it so we can adjust sliders with greater control and to greater effect. The sliders are just not all that great as they are now. Some people have mentioned doing sliders like, I think it was, Madden. Where you have more flexibility in the adjustments you make. I'd probably buy if they were re-done and roster sharing was brought back.

            You bring up an interesting topic.
            Will tie-ups work the same as the board pinning? I don't want suction, and I sure as heck want size and attributes to play a role.
            It would really help to distinguish the large power forwards in the league.

                  well....technically, this feature never really existed....officially. Someone was able to crack the rosters on the old gen and that is as close as we have ever gotten to a roster share from EA NHL.

                    As what I would assume is one of the most requested features, to not see this mentioned int his video is slightly concerning to me. It's early in the cycle, so obviously lots of time for it to sneak in, and with that much time to go still, they've got to keep the hype train rolling and keep some stuff held back for now.

                      I'm sure there's a hidden Bettman Blocker that prevents any struggling teams in non-traditional markets from being moved out.
                      However, every BaGM mode starts off with a prompt "Where would you like to move the Senators?".

                        You don't even play at Hartwall Arena or in Globen, you play in a generic EA Arena.

                          I think this issue has fallen on deaf ears for a number of years now, but I’d like to see in this spirit of customisation the ability to adjust season length in beagm so those of us that want it, can have fully featured shorter seasons and not have to sim games to achieve it.

                            Good to see that BeAGM is actually getting some love this year, its been stale for years.


                            Hopefully, there is even more additions and improvements in BeAGM that weren't show in that trailer.

                              Early impression looks promising. I'm still enjoying NHL 16 about to wrap up my season and start playoffs so if NHL 17 is an improvement in any way I will be happy. The "All three zones" thing is very promising if done well and I'm happy to see net battles back. The celebration thing is big because scoring a goal, mainly a big one seems so underwhelming as of now.

                              Roster share please......

                              Not as big as Roster share or gameplay but if custom jerseys are in I'm hoping for mask editor or at least some new better looking masks.

                                This looks very exciting. Hopefully presentation gets a continued facelift, as well
