I have to say. It ALL depends IF you like the sport and even moreso IF you WATCH the sport...

Games Like Rugby Challange Lacrosse fit in the same category for me.

Hockey ISN'T my favorite sport or is it a sport i actually follow. But I'm all for realism and playing nHL 17 thru the EAAcess trial I saw that NHL 17 IS a quality tile.

Worth the 59.99? Ehhhhh Worth the 53.99? Ehhhh can't say, but maybe the fact that i havent gotten yet means I don't think its worth it.

Again I'd love to get another rugby game or even partake in the lacrosse game BUT theyre STILL 59.99 which can only mean they ARE popular enough to warrant NO price drop.

But here's another thing. it's good to play sports games when the actual season is going. Often too many times I get MLB The Show play it the month of release April and then I get bored.

I think its best to enjoy sports game along with the actual sport. watch a real life match/game and THEN dabble in the video game counterpart. That way you can have a connection the way aybe say multiplayer does with your favorite GEARS OF WAR game...

All this said.

NHL 17 is fantastic and is better than any other NHL game before it MINUS the fact it has no winter classic or outdoor pond mode(I know I know not THAT realistic)

Wait I'd like a NHL Street now come to think of it
