Until they have stick on stick contact I won't get too impress.

This looks amazing!

They seem to have given gamers everything we asked for.

NHL 16 already has a solid foundation for the on-ice action, it just needs some tweaks, so all the additions seen in the trailer make it look like a perfect game now

I believe the 2016 World Cup is sanctioned by the NHL and NHLPA. Olymplic/World Championship is sanctioned by the IIHF. It wouldn't surprise me if it's easier to get the World Cup uniforms for that reason.

What's with the Captain C on the goalie? Probably just a template thing?

Looks like they're adding some meat to the game, Im cautiously optimistic but like everyone, waiting on gameplay

Looks like they've added some signature goal celebrations, like ovi warming his hands.

Also i couldnt tell but it looks like they tried to add this celebration:



If this is the one they added its off a little but still really cool they added it in

If they do something like the old NCAA football team builder websites that would be incredible

If these guys can implement relocation like 2k that be so awesome. I hope they don't half *** it and have generic logos. Still wish they take idea with goalie masks as well. I'm glad they are trying to make it better at least

Man, is custom teams finally coming back? I hope so! Looks like we'll be able to customize the arenas as well, like we were able to do in NHL 2004! Pumped!
