Tweaking the sliders will help trmendously with penalties. Notch them all the way up and put the game speed on 2, and youll get more penalties. Ive been getting alot for and against me over my last 10 games or so.

One of the problems with the acceleration on 3 and game speed on 2—and it's a small one—is that replay mode is incredibly jittery. I love to go in and watch replays so this is a no go for me.

Im so pissed I bought this without renting it first.

This game is just like the Toronto Maple Leafs. Until they figure that you need people who eat hockey, sleep hockey, breath hockey, ah, and most importantly, knows hockey, what youre going to see is a game that can make it some way, but never will have the tools to win it all.

Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad game, it's playable and enjoyable in some way, but it's a game with so many obvious holes that you have to wonder what people are thinking.

To me, having a girl with a sign saying she want's to marry me while after 3 years we still don't have 5 players goal celebration on the ice is baffling. Feels like trading Raycroft for Rask.

NHL 16 to me is a 6/10. Some games feels like 8 some like 4. Not bad, but not close to NBA 2K and MLB The Show.

Still playing 5 games a day and this game is NHL Hockey ! and Im pleasantly surprise how deep NHL 16 is as I just tried be a Gm and Pro and I was blown away by all the cool functions as I normally just pick up and play in Playoff Mode .

IMO EA really made some leaps and bounds this year getting back on track while having a small staff compared to other games and I can only imagine what the future holds for this series

I agree. It's really confusing how they could not have it in the game. They have it like halfway right, after a score, one player will skate up to the scorer. But they need to extend that to all 5 players on the ice.

I know it probably sounds trivial, to some, but it's something that happens after literally almost every single goal in the NHL, and it's something that's pretty unique to hockey.

Something I am not liking at all and the same thing runs rampant in the fifa series when you play the cpu on different difficulties.

I played hut on rookie, the starting offline season.

My players did what the cpu players do on pro and above, skate to the net and park and wait for the tap in while the cpu defenders cannot knock them off their spot.

You get to enjoy that on rookie level.

So what they do on pro and above is clog the slot, your players never "post" up and they stay moving, suspiciously moving away from the puck.

This is EA's stupid way of making the game more difficult for the user.

I hate with a passion that ea feels a need to nerf your defense but also dumb down your players too as you raise difficulty.

Just make the cpu smarter, leave my team alone.

Started my be a GM mode and learned quickly that, if the computer shoots, their gonna score. Doesn't matter if it's set up or just ripped from the point, their gonna score a lot. If I give up 12 shots, 6 go in. Three games, against Tampa, 2 vs the Panthers. And if your not controlling a player, that player is pretty much useless. This game just feels artificially hard.
