Wasn't there supposed to be entrances like the players coming through san jose's sharkhead & the oilers tower? I see it being raised behind eddy & mike when they are yapping that's it. Thanks.

Bad, this game is a tug of war... wonky things vs great things
I will say the more I play the more great things I see.
There are just little touches all over the place. In one of my games last night I was down 4-1 after the 1st and as the players are going up the tunnel I see one of my supporters sitting there with his elbow on his knee and chin on his hand, looking bored.
And for how you could say some CPU goals are cheese, it does in a way make it like playing a human. If we had a cheese goal method we probably would try it a few games too.
I personally had one last night that made me think...I was up in the slot moving to the right and noticed I had nobody on my back so I stopped and went left and roofed it for the goal.
It's at 30 seconds in this clip. Did I exploit the CPU? I don't think so but if the cpu had a message board to post on they might complain that I did.
This one haunts me. A goal I gave up with CPU on penalty kill.
Seamless puck pickup where did you fail me?
And nice touch on the player holding his face. Horrific mistake.

Also a lot of if it is playoff specific.
The shark mouth should be always
But I need to test if it happens in a playoff game

Thanks for the info Brandon. To be honest, I haven't played a hockey game since NHL 12, which was the worst I had played since NHL 2003. I was so ticked off about it that I skipped NHL 13 out of spite, was so busy playing BF3 that I also passed on NHL 14, and well I think anyone could guess why I skipped NHL 15. So as much as I have been dreading these couple of major issues I still went out and bought NHL 16 today. If this turns out to be another disappointment like NHL 12 then I may be retiring from the series just like I did with Madden after M10. Here's hoping it all goes well!
Hi everyone - im kinda frustrated with the be a pro mode.
I opted for the start in the OHL to get drafter higher and thought i'd be on a decent way being the league's top scorer midway through december.
However my manager keeps telling me that scouts have noticed my recent 'crisis' and that he has to put me back in 2nd line due to my lack of production......
As if this wasn't stupid enough, i just started the game and now i all my be a pro settings have been changed and some of the settings aren't changeable anymore so that im forced to play full 20 mins per period now.
Am really thinking about giving the game back.
Cheers

Liking the game although my AI teammates appear to be brain dead at times. Started a season mode and am 3-6 on pro. Pro seems more difficult this year, more so than in years past.
One thing I'm having a problem with is seeing scores of other games that have been played in the season. Not my scores but scores of other games that have been played. Is there a way to see other scores of daily games? Thought there was a way last year but maybe it's in Be a GM and not season mode?

Just for the sake of good order, i just restarted the game and then even my PS4 and then tried different savegames but can't change the be a pro setting to classic anymore - it switched to authentic automatically and now its not changeable anymore - good stuff

Any reason to buy one system over the next. Played up my 10 hours on ea access and was sold on trying sports on ps4 this year. But I don't know.

Well I got my first couple games under my belt and my initial impressions are pretty mixed.
I played the intro game CHI v TB and won 3-2 which is pretty good for me since I haven't played a hockey game in 4 years. I then jumped into BaP as a playmaker and on authentic mode I did great in my first OHL game as we won 7-4 and I finished with 2 goals and 3 assists and had quite a few really nice hits. There were several powerplays for both sides which was nice to see. The game seemed to take too long though so I started over on classic mode.
I had no idea how long the games would take so I put it on 12 minutes to get some extra ice time. That game was dragging on sooooo long and my team was losing 8-2 in the second period (on 20 shots by the CPU mind you) so I quit and started over again. This time I picked 8 minute periods... which was really dumb because it still took ages to get through the game. Hardly noticed a difference from the other two tries. But that wasn't the worst part.
I have adjusted sliders on PRO level to give me some boosts (I haven't played in 4 years remember) and have teammate penalties set low and CPU penalties set high. The first penalty of the game came in the third period when I got a game misconduct for nailing someone from behind which started a fight between him and one of my teammates. The only other penalty was a 2 minute tripping call on one of my teammates. No CPU penalties at all. I really wish there was a SIM TO END option in cases like this because it took nearly 10 minutes to get to the end of the game.
Anyway, I couldn't score at all on 12 shots, checking seemed sluggish and more difficult to do compared to my first game, and I ended up finishing with 2 assists as my team won the game. Want to know the final score?
17-6
Yes SEVENTEEN to SIX.
Now I know 8 minute periods is a bit long but holy crap I've never seen a score like that in all my years of video game hockey (since 1992). The CPU scored 6 goals on 41 shots and my team scored 17 goals on 64 shots. If you take away my 12 shots that just couldn't find the net, that leaves 52 shots for my teammates. 17 goals though? Talk about ridiculous.
The defensive AI is downright pathetic as my teammates were constantly letting the CPU walk into the slot and would barely even try to grab loose pucks in front of the net. I honestly don't know how this can be an issue here in 2016 but it seems even worse than the last hockey games I played 4 or more years ago. The CPU on the other hand constantly clogs the slot and does a great job breaking up passes which makes this all the more frustrating. It's like in BaP they expect the user to do EVERYTHING. Well except score in this case.
I pray that EA can come up with some sort of tuner to help remedy this but my first impressions are that I am going to regret buying this game as this was one of my biggest gripes from games past and here it is again.

Overall, i'm enjoying 16. But yeah the cpu Ping-Pong passing and hyper drive gets pretty annoying vs the ai. And of course although slightly improved....i still feel all alone defensively. But that's EA hockey for ya. Take it or leave it.
Is there any way to save the replays? I can't find a save option in the replay screen (Xbox One). I also tried the Xbox One snap function, which also doesn't seem to work. Thanks for any replies/hints in advance!
