On PS4 I couldn't find any option in the game for that. I guess because these systems have built in vid cap features they didn't need to bother. At least I assume XB1 has it... I just went into the replay and then used the PS4 recording feature to save a highlight. It kind of sucks since I liked the old editing features to make your own custom clips. Another feature they need to bring back...

Thank you very much for your quick reply. It's very odd that they haven't put the replay save back into the game since I also think that the system vic cap feature is not an appropriate replacement for the original editing/save features back in NHL 14.

Yeah I know. I actually used them back on NHL 09 and really enjoyed it. I actually didn't know they removed it so I'm pretty disappointed. I just bought the game yesterday and had a few cool things happen today I wanted to edit into short clips but...

Hello guys ! Im not a regular NHL player but I decided to buy this year. Must say this game is fantastic ! I dont even watch hockey but im enjoying the game.

I also like the actual gameplay and the overall package. However I have to confess that I'm a bit shocked that there doesn't seem to be any testing before release. That's the only explanation how something like the stuttering game performance while using customized speed sliders affects gameplay on both PS4 and XO. I really how they fix this because otherwise it would be a gamebreaker (at least for me).

I'm here to update my opinion. The game is not playable for me. Goalies are ridiculous, eashl is not fun at all anymore. My whole team stopped playing last night and disbanded. Passing in this game is so brutal. I play manual FIFA, so I've become pretty accurate with passes, and this game just passes where it wants. Shots are pretty bad too, no quick releases whatsoever, and stick handling is fairly bad. I won't be fooled next year. On the plus side for all those superficial ppl, the game looks fantastic!

Yep Mizz, just did a GM restart with the attribute slider at 3. That, and along with a real effort to play smarter defensively, got me a 2-1 ot win. And the most fun with the game so far. I felt rewarded for having played well. Of course was a bit lucky too. But now i know i at least have a chance on all-star.

Picked this up yesterday.

I already dove in and started my Panthers BeAGm.

Overall I am really having a a great time.

Some things I want to see tuned in a game tuner:

Penalties
Checking

Those two areas need work.

I am playing on Pro simulation and tweaking some knobs and getting some exciting fun games. I will be playing this title for at least two cycles.

Presentation is highly polished. Skating feels great. Passing and shooting are really strong.

Lack of penalties and patty cake checking are areas of concern.
