No penalty called and the goal stood as a good goal.

hahahaha....so whats new about this.... great gameplay!!! :P

The amount of enjoyment I get from playing each game makes up for it.

It sure does play sweet but they seemed to add a few different replays to when you score in game really cool with different angles so maybe they toned the end of the game to be more like a NBC broadcast ?

I cant remember if NBC shows them all at the end but I know when its a OT goal they end the game fast and go to Network programming if time is a issue .

By all means vote with your wallet but theres just to much broken record stuff going on here from many who dont even have the finished game ? ( Remember the salem witch trials ?). Im no EA supporter and they totally screwed up the PR but EA NHL has created a great base to build upon for many years with NHL 15 so I get what they were doing especially with their limitations producing it . But the game is what it is and it plays a amazing game of NHL Hockey BEST EVER once you find your skill level and its not easy but AlTitos sliders are a great base !

Totally agree with bolded comments. Game is a blast to play and EA has a solid base to build upon. However, with all the missing features full price isn't justified IMO. I get the time restraints and lack of manpower helped cause skimping on features but full price? I'll wait for price drop. Given they didn't release next gen title last year it makes me wonder a little bit why they didn't have enough time to put out a finished product. Kinda reminds me of NBA Live but Live's gameplay was a disgrace while NHL gameplay is spot on with a good set of sliders

What's with the glitchy strategy boxes? They will stay in the bottom of the screen for the entire game.

Hey guys how is the entry into the offensive zone this year? By the looks of the Demo and gameplay videos I've watched it looks as easy as ever. That was going to be my one big hang up on purchasing the game this year. So if it hasn't been fixed or can be fixed via sliders than it'sa no go for me. Thanks

Exactly the same as the last ___ many NHL games by EA, no pressure along the boards and an easy entry every time.

Sliders do not help with it either. The AI will give up the blue line with ease 97/100 entries.

It's a bug. This isn't a fix as much as it is a workaround, but here: http://www.operationsports.com/forum...oing-away.html

The AI basically has two ways that they will defend your rushes:

1) Sit back and do nothing.

2) Charge at you full speed for a body check.

The first way just results in an easy entry. The second way is very easy to skate around or deke around, and it will give you a free breakaway/odd-man chance. Note that the second tendency is also exclusive to the PS4/Xbox One versions. The AI always sits back when defending the rush on the PS3/Xbox 360.

What is still needed, is for the AI to gradually close the gap as you approach the blue line, and funnel you towards the boards, so that you have nowhere to go but to dump the puck in by the time you reach the blue line.
