That's awesome, this is our year for the CUP!

I just wished they allowed us to alter positions. Zetterberg hasn't been a LW since the previous lockout in '05.
If/when Dats and Zetts play on the same line, it's Datsyuk that plays the wing (as he's doing tonight against the Habs).

Who cares about jerseys and all that garbage... Are you telling me you still cant have multiple players on your xbox playing against others online? What an absolute joke. Thats the only reason i bought the game and havent played it since the first two days i bought it because of this... Between this and broken madden i dont know why i even bought an xbox one. Those two games were the reason i bought it and i cant play either one of them!!!

Does anyone know if this will be added? Been able to play this for years and now with xbox ones more capabilities they are taking out the most important features.... Absolute trash!!! EA needs competition

The Checkerdome, originally called the Arena was a big home ice advantage. The ice was at the bottom of a pit. It was downright dangerous to attend a Blues vs Blackhawk game, lots of fights in the stands. The first game I attended, Blues vs Blackhawks, the Chicago coach got mad about something and pulled his team off the ice and went to the locker room and refused to come out.

The Blues had some bruisers back then. I remember a game I think in Philly where some of the Blues went up in the stands and started fighting with the crowd.

I saw the Rolling Stones once there, got extremely lucky and had front row floor, middle.

Right off the the bat EA NHL has brought back some real interaction to gameplay and as an example when the game first came out I could block pucks naturally and even hold in pucks when the AI PK tried to clear it if I made the right adjustment . But after the first updates alot of that stuff just became automatic almost robotics but In two games Im not seeing much of that and Im very impressed so far and I guess EA did listen at least offline gameplay wise

you got my hopes up. can't wait to try it tonight. Anyone try online? does the offline updates translate online/hut?

I'm glad they don't allow that. Like I want to play against two idiots position locking and cherry picking all game. Go play otp.

So am I the only one who is concerned that McDavid's potential is a "Bottom 6 Forward"? The kid is supposed to be the best player since Crosby. I think it's safe to say he deserves better than this.

A few quick Impressions

Im really impressed with EA NHL latest update as I think it plays even better than when the game was first released as statistics are more balanced and cpu has more of a realistic attack and not just turbo mode.

Real physics especially players are back !!! and responsive especially on collision/checking/hitting and puck too but not like player and though I havent study the puck like player I think even guys like Kane play more like themselves , you know size weight attributes ect matters again when hitting .

I played 5 games on this update with the latest tuner and Im getting fun and realistic results in Playoff mode and might even bump up to 9 or 10 minutes periods as shots are a tad low and PP are only 2 to 3 per team .

For me on Default allstar the game no longer comes off as robotic or generate and plays very organic again and IMO even better than before at least in Playoff mode but once again its only 5 games .
