-Vintage Canuck- Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Is it just me or is the poke checking in this game too powerful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beluga Whale Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 The game feels almost identical to NHL 16. I've always bought these games when they come out but this one may not be worth it imo. The soundtrack is pretty good though. A lot of catchy songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsMillerTime Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Also there is some problems with penalties. I got a penalty for stick lifting someone stick from under. I got a slash. Also why playing EASHL my team mate got a 4 minute penalty for hooking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that "real" hockey plays work a lot more such as point shots, screens, and cycling the puck. Dump and chase is actually effective if done right. There are some flaws such as an overpowered poke and toes drag but then again thats what the beta is for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the gameplay definitely feels slightly refined compared to 16 but it still feels way too similar to warrant the $80. I guess I haven't analyzed everything thoroughly but on the surface it really feels like I'm still playing NHL 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, if you think about the amount of hours you put into the game throughout the year then $80 isn't all that much. A movie and dinner could cost that much and only be for one night.

DollarAndADream Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I'm liking EASHL a lot more. They give you a sense of progression with the team customization and having to unlock the player edits. In NHL 16 I got bored really fast with EASHL because playoffs didn't happen very often and without any real player customization, I felt like it wasn't worth the time I used to put into it. Upgrading my attributes used to be one of my favourite parts, looking to find the best build. At least now we can work from having a $&!# practice rink to a big NHL sized arena, and all the other things. Creating your team takes longer, however.

It may have been a few years ago, but give me a choice between two nights out or NHL 17 - and if it's really the same as NHL 16 - I'll take the two nights out.
