NHL 16 Features Revealed, EASHL Returns, Full List of Game Modes & More

[Coach P]

Really excited for the Team Morale stuff.. I'm new to NHL 15 as of about 2 days ago, but I'm loving it so far. Really starting to get in to hockey.

In reference to the NHL 16 create a player video: I can't grow a proper beard. It gets really patchy, so when I get this game I am going to create myself to the best of my ability and in the end I'll be giving myself a badass beard.

I think the 'Player Morale Feature' was inspired by the 2015 Toronto Maple Leafs.

I can't even comprehend why any sports related game wouldn't let you edit players. Follow The Show's lead. Customization has always been one of the reasons I buy I sports game. Less options? Less reason to buy the game.

Exactly. Okay, I get it, not EVERYONE cares about customization and a lot of people just play HUT or EASHL so offline options don't mean anything to them. But how can customization options, which have been around forever - there really IS a precedent for them to be there - be a bad thing? We're not asking for a new feature. It would be nice if they would open customization up some more but taking it away entirely? I'm just baffled that it could be left out two years in a row. No excuse.

Sarcasm?..

Certainly not going to pre-order. After all the disappointment with last year's game, I waited to buy NHL 15 on PS4 on sale via PS Store for twenty bucks in January, and I still feel like I wasted my money. Based on this feature list, at least maybe the game will be back on Par with NHL 14? Maybe?

Despite all the issues with the stripped down version last year, my biggest complaint with the NHL games the past few years is STILL the clueless CPU team mates on defense. It takes a good 15-20 games of slider tuning just to make it playable so your opponent doesn't score 6 goals a game on only 15 shots or so.
