The NHL 16 features were leaked this afternoon in a post on the Operation Sports forums by huntt26.

Of the features leaked, we learn about the new EASHL (back in the game) as well as new team play and couch online co-op.

The New EASHL -  You can now choose specialized player classes to deliver a more balanced competitive experience on the ice. Player skill and your ability to play as a team will now determine who wins and loses.

Be a GM: Player Morale - Being a GM is about more than getting the best players, it's about getting the right players to play well together. Each player on your NHL and AHL teams have a different personality that you will have to manage. You'll have to deal with trade demands, teammate relationships, and much more by calling team meetings or adjusting your roster to directly affect your team's on-ice performance.

Be a Pro: Shape Your Legacy - The way you play dicates the type of player you will become in an all-new Be a Pro progression system. On-ice actions directly influence attributes earned, ensuring that your pro will reflect the way you play. Sim to your next shift, and the ability to work your way up from CHL rookie to an NHL superstar also make a return in NHL 16.

Gameplay Additions

Seamless Puck Pickups - The ability to quickly control a pass or corral a loose puck can be the difference between generating a scoring chance and getting leveled. New puck pickups result in smoother transistions when receiving the puck no matter what your position, giving you more time and control to make your next move.

Distinct Team Arena Atmosphere -  Best in class arena authenticity gets even better with the inclusion of authentic arena effects and props including team specific celebrations, mascots, chants, and even signature props like the Lighthouse at the Xcel Energy Center in Minnesota.
