I can see EAA having issues like many have said, but I cannot even run my system 100%. From sign in issues, stable connection to the Internet, and xbox live being down for me, but it claims it is up when it acts like its down. oh well ill just wait until everything isnt bottle necked.

Yeah after 90 minutes I was stuck at 17%..yet downloaded the Madden patch in 30 seconds. EA servers in the EA Access was a bit slow but now that I'm on the Xbox it's moving a bit faster. I played the intro game while it was installing and it played great. Didn't run into any issues thru one game. Did not notice much of a difference in commentary but will let it install all the way and give it another whirl before I really make another comment about it.

I dont think so, its more of the way the right stick is implemented. As if its been re-designed as more of a puck protect this year, than the deking stick it was over the last few years.

Had more success with Giroux in practice mode just coasting slowly and only lightly tapping the right stick to do small left right dekes.

If you want to dominate the faceoff dots in NHL 16, here are the guys with the highest faceoff ratings:



EA has actually changed a lot of these ratings since last year. So I'll give them so credit for finally switching those up a bit. But there are still way too many wingers with abnormally high ratings compared to the bulk of this game's centermen.

Anyone notice that the CPU is WAY TOO Aggressive? They're not even playing hockey, they're just body checking, stealing the puck and shooting at the goalie. One game, superstar difficulty (8 min periods, I usually do 10) they had 47 shots on me. and dropped 7 goals on me to my 2.

It's like they're not trying to play hockey, just NHL hits out there.

I've tweaked some of the sliders and game play settings and it still doesn't matter. Tuning will fix it, but man it's annoying

Edit:

I forgot to mention that the User CPU teammates are still useless

And the CPU found ways to get breakaways off face offs which in the NHL is next to impossible

First FULL game and I won 7-4 over Edmonton. The default game speed seems too fast (and I have always played on default speed). Too many shots on 8 minute periods and the game was frantic.

Only 2 penalties called with the slider full.. UGH.

Goalies seem better as far as animations go.. but me scoring 7 goals (11 total) (last one was EN) doesn't bode well... will turn speed down one notch next game.

They do have the Blues goal horn, goal song and how they chant 1, 2, 3, etc.. for each goal.. down pat.

Sliders will be needed for sure.

I HATE Sony for not adding the EA Access

It's the best value in gaming...I have no idea why Sony would not pick it up.
