Real quick point here, game was playing fine...Came on to the forum to check out some sliders and inputted Altito's suggestions for NHL 16.
Gamespeed set to 2 and all of a sudden a choppy mess on my PS4 close to unplayable....
Overall the game is similar fodder to NHL15 on the ice...too many shots for cpu, not enough penalties for cpu...upi have read it all before so I will spare the repeat.
EDIT POST: The patch fixed the stuttering problem on the PS4. Been enjoying the game at the slowed down speed but still seeing same items that has plagued this series, no differentiation of players, I score the CPU answers quickly, all teams plays the same...etc

Well I couldnt find the game last night anywhere ? No Meijers and two Walmarts so I picked it up today at Target and my car died on the way out 
So I got towed back in and it took along time to install because of my crappy slow DSL so I just started Playoff mode and it seems like the few games I played most teams have their goal songs and celebrations not sure about goal horns ?
CPU AI seems much improved and positionally defensively too especially SH or on the PP and dump ins like dump and chase seem more realistic timing wise as Im getting more along the boards tie ups and scrums and your really forced to dump the puck in alot more as the CPU holds the line and the spacing is also well done , great to see .
Another good thing is most players have their real face or at least something fake but close with the proper hair and such so its not Crawford with blue eyes or Darling with blonde hair so thats a start and good enough for me .
Saw some great goalie animations in reaction to the puck changing direction and the goalie changing his animation and then scrambling to recover .
The game graphically is better but not that much from 15 but the physics in the game seem near perfect for me so I hope they dont wreck it again with a update as the skating is also very well done realistic friction .
Hitting seems more realistic and Im not sure if Ill leave on all the cheat screen but its kinda cool with the blue netting graphic on the net when you shot as a guide .
I love the intros of the city and then Doc and Eddie are much improved with a longer smoother pre game intro and Im noticing alot more chicken parm chiming in very nicely and spot on though I did here alot of the same goalie lines during pre game.
So far its everything I hoped for as the gameplay has be subtly tweaked to perfect , just so many little things I cant listen them all BOARD PLAY ! and Penalties are still pretty easy to draw for me so no problem there .
Im still playing on AS near default because once you start tweaking you change alot of what EA programmed into it and youll always be chasing to paint the perfect picture instead of just enjoying what they created

I'm playing 5 minute periods on All Star with some adjusted sliders and I'm seeing realistic shot totals...usually about 60 combined every game but I don't think I've been outshot by more than 10 shots by the CPU at this point.
I've already added Fabbri and McDavid to the big teams. McDavid is like an 83 so he's pretty much ready to go. Fabbri was a 65 but with editing, I currently have him at 71.
I'm having a lot of fun with 16.....very happy with it. Tuners and slider settings will only improve the game.

No choppiness on near default and remember every little tweak for perfection that doesnt exist in a sports video game causes more reactions you than have to re tweak for

Just picked up my copy and began playing the introductory game with Tampa and Chicago. As soon as the second period started the choppiness that everyone is speaking of commenced. I don't usually come on here to say anything but it is LITERALLY unplayable. I picked up the Witcher used as well so I'll start that. In the mean time, there is a massive update that says I have four hours left? Hopefully this takes care of the frame rate issue.

Only had a brief time with the game. Made some sliders adjustment, and I'm pretty impressed and satisfied with the overall package.
I want to reduce the game speed, but I'm aware of the bug that causes choppiness problems. Otherwise, I've been able to alter the AI play from the pass fest we saw in a lot of pre-release footage.
AI still needs refinement, NZ pressure, and all the stuff that's been said already. I'm interested to see what EA does with patches this year. I'm pleased with the infrastructure in place now.

You can expect AT LEAST once a game for CPU to go into super saiyan god mode and score on you

The update is ps4. I think its the eashl, 3-3 ot, united center, practice mode, etc.
Need a ps4 person to confirm, but if the update is there when they first load the game I would bet it's what I listed.

The massive update is the majority of the game for PS4 download. You get like a 2gb game download and then an 18gb update or something.
This is what i've been seeing pretty much every game...every game has been in that 60 shot range. 5 min periods on All Star. Really happy with this game right now.
Has anyone else experienced lag in offline play?
It's so frustrating it makes the game unplayable where the animations seem to be blinking.
I played a game right away with no problems and then started an offline Season Mode. I changed the settings so the game was more real-life and ever since I did that, right from the drop of the puck the game is experiencing bad lag.
I'd appreciate any help or advice anyone can offer
Thanks!

Can a mod sticky this bug as a PSA or something?
Beat Tampa Bay as the Blues in OT 6-5.. shots were 36 Blues, 35 TB. Total of 5 penalties.. I can handle that. I play on 8 mins/AS/Hardcore with game speed down to 2.
Cut scenes are jittery/framerate issue.
