NHL 16 Arena Atmosphere Details (Wild, Red Wings, Flames, Capitals)

[Steve_OS]

NHL 16 continues to build on their authentic arenas and atmosphere with signature effects and well known props throughout the league. Check out a few examples in the images below.

Minnesota Wild - Xcel Energy Center

The Lighthouse in the Xcel Energy Center will blast a foghorn when the Wild score a goal and after a home ice victory.

Detroit Red Wings - Joe Louis Arena

The Legend of the Octopus in Detroit is one of the oldest and most iconic traditions in the sport of hockey. That’s why we had to get Al The Octopus looking just right.

Calgary Flames - Scotiabank Saddledome

During playoff games, the C of Red will be going nuts when the Calgary Flames take to the ice. To make the experience even more authentic, fire will blast from the Saddledome flamethrowers after every goal.

Washington Capitals - Verizon Center

Speaking of red, you’ll see a ton of it when you visit the Verizon Center during playoff time. Caps fans will #RockTheRed during the postseason as they cheer on their hometown Capitals.

NHL 16 arrives on September 15 for Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

All the EA Games have been at "1080p" this gen I believe? At least it says on the back of the box that's the case. I think on Xbox One they maybe are like 940p or whatever the controversy sometimes is but yeah.

This may be the year I buy. It's been too long going without because of sub par efforts on EA's end

this does look good, just hope the goal horns are all authentic!

Looks great...hopefully the game play as well. Because, IMO, all these atmosphere and the excitement will dissipate quickly if the gameplay is horrible like in the previous releases.

Hopefully the graphics in the NHL series begin to rival those in NBA2K. I play all 82 games in GM Mode so these arenas and new intros will hopefully keep things fresh. Here's to hoping the gameplay makes the necessary improvements too.
