Re: Can we play shortened seasons in NHL16?

This is actually one of the reasons I haven't bought the game since '08.

I will admit, I am pretty casual when it comes to both the NHL and hockey video games. I just play offline, don't have near the time (nor attention span) to play an 82 game season...but don't like simming games. So the current EA game does leave a gap for me (despite all the other modes).

But note that while I am not a hardcore fan, I am a potential customer. I have played (and enjoyed) hockey games since 2x2 Atari (Activision) up through Blades of Steel, NES Fat guy-middle guy-Skinny guy, EA, 2K etc.

same here.
the only reason why I might buy the game this year is I guess sim speed is better. if I can sim a months worth of games in like 5 minutes ill probably get the game.

I tend to believe that anything that was common in video sports games back in 1995 should be pretty easy for developers to do in 2015......so definitely discouraging that we don't see this option in NHL.

Can't you pick shorter season lengths in season mode? Just not in BaGM? I thought this was something that was available in the last few instalments last gen, not sure about 15/16 though.

Re: Can we play shortened seasons in NHL16?

You really don't need a shortened season anymore since they brought back the simming feature from the past. You can quick sim any, and every game. By period. Join in whenever you want even. I used to play shortened season's, but when they changed simming, I stopped and just played half games. Or final periods. Or overtimes. And played the full games against teams I wanted to play.

It's a cool feature, assuming they brought it back working the same way it did previously.
