NHL 16 Q&A Day #2

[adayinthelife]

Smartglass/Kinect integration was a more frequent and more pressing question than the ability to edit players? I'm sure.

It's unfortunate, but I'd say given the track record that if something is being ignored by this team, the answer is likely whatever the vast majority don't want it to be.

Editing players seemed to be a pretty big let down last year, so I don't see why they wouldn't be trying to use it as a "feature" this year, along with all the other "new" things they've listed already, were it to actually be back in the game. We can hope that they're feeling the heat already and somehow squeeze it in, but I wouldn't count on it for now.

To see what I am talking about, check this out http://www.operationsports.com/forum...entiation.html Edited to add - Every day I change the two example skaters, just to keep it fresh

Difference in speed, puckhandling and other attributes must be a tuning issue, so it shouldnt be any excuse to not fix this, that video is gold btw.
The only thing I might take some time to add are personal difference in specific players, like signature moves, so game-Crosby plays like real Crosby for example.
Hopefully they've fixed stats difference, guessing they got thousands of questions and its only day 2 so hoping we'll get the answer to this.

Just a heads up, they are answering more questions as of a few minutes ago

Well, we can't edit players in BaGM, which sucks unless their built-in assignment of equipment for rookies, and assignment of goalie equipment like new team masks and color schemes is improved, and no explicit mention about editing players outside the mode. Why can't we get a straight answer on this?

I didn't buy it last year, although I was gifted a copy that I played for about a month. I would have never paid full price for that game but I still got some enjoyment out of it. If their is a full fledged GM mode I will probably buy it this year.
