NHL 16 Survey Reveals More On Potential New Features

[ThaLiveKing]

EA SPORTS game in general need to focus on player likeness and signature skill, when they don't have it in the game, it's way too generic even though the game play is some what solid.

NHL 15's problem is that the game is too arcadey, even on simulation, and doesn't mimic the NHL speed at all

Survey is a whole lot shorter for those of us who have never played EASHL! Still want to get my opinions out there - please, oh please, improve BeAGM and get better stat/award/career tracking for all players.

I've always wondered why games don't allow that anymore. If I'm playing online, then I use the online rosters as the company puts out, but if I'm offline and I want to create a 7'3" 280 lbs goalie with 99 ratings, why can't I? It's my league..........

I've said this a few times and I am pretty certain that the case with not being able to edit has to deal with the fact that they couldn't get it in the game without ensuring that it wouldn't cause unstableness. They probably kept having issues with crashes and instability when edits were made and rather to release an even more buggy game they elected to rush it out in the incomplete form that we see here.

Edits will be back as soon as they can be sure that they don't break the game. It will not be in this year's version.

What do you mean edits "will be back"? Have we ever been able to edit players' attributes in BeAGM? I know of no ability to do this, at least since NHL 10.

Nicely put.
I'd also love to see intermission highlights and even a weekly wrap-up show.

I really hope the NHL team follows through with these ideas.

It has been agonizing this season without an NHL game. I was a yearly buyer since NHL 09 through NHL 14. Every time I'm tempted by my Amazon shopping cart, I just remember that for $60 there is no player editing, barely a Be-A-Gm, no EASHL, no Online Drop-in with friends, no...anything really.

The only good that had come from NHL 15, is that whenever the temptation gets strong to buy it, and I know I have the cash just sitting in my checking account, I move that $60 into savings and kill the NHL15 temptation.

I've saved over $700 extra this season so far. So thanks, I guess, EA.
