NHL 17 Draft Champions Trailer and More Details

[Steve_OS]

EA Sports has posted a new trailer and blog post detailing this year's Draft Champions mode in NHL 17.

Quote:

"Draft Champions is an all-new mode that introduces the thrill of the fantasy draft with fast rounds of superstar picks. Each round challenges you to choose current and past NHL players and build a team that fits your playstyle. Immediately following your draft, take to the ice and fulfill your team’s potential by winning the Draft Championship.

You'll start your Draft Champions mode off this year with a team theme. Each theme will come with a base set of mid and lower tier players to build a team off of. The themes will update through the year and thus, there will be new ones to choose from as the season wears on.

You'll then draft from a pool of better players to add to your team. Each draft is designed to look different so you should have a different feeling team each time through the mode.

You can read more about Draft Champions in NHL 17 on EA Sports' Website.

I have a feeling I'm going to be grinding this mode a lot and try to spend as little money as possible. I like that NHL has given us more options to earn things in HUT.
