First news on NHL 17 will be released on April 26. I Will update this post as info comes out. There isn't much to discuss at this point other than wishlists and guess who will be on the cover.

 

Kane probably deserves the cover but like most im tired of blackhawks being in it. I like Tarasenko or Karlsson.

Imma say that's Ghost, Barkov, McDavid, Klingberg, Tarasenko, Pavelski, Kadri/JVR, and I have no clue who the King is in that gif.

Pretty sure that's Stamkos instead of JVR/Kadri, it looks like the bolts logo to me even though I can barely make it out. If I had to guess who the King is though, I'd say it's Doughty.

Ahh you're right.

EA just seems to keep going backwards since moving to next gen consoles. I got NHL 16 just so I could play some sort of hockey on my Xbox One, but I noticed pretty quickly how much they left out compared to NHL 14. I like the game, and I really like the authentic arenas, but with be a GM which I spend most of my time on, there's a lot missing still, as well with Be a Pro and customization in general too. So I'm probably going to pass on NHL 17 because my expectations for it are low, and I doubt anything from my "wishlist" will be there.

I swear they take out good features just so they can put them back in next year and say they did something. 

Yep. The last two games have really gone downhill and made a joke of the series.

 

I'd much rather the games be like NHL 11-14 as opposed to taking half the features away while only changing the crowd and rosters.

Please add GM Connected back into the game. I don't care that you think it's one of the least played modes. It was only like that because half of the people that wanted to play it were tired of the absurd load times compared to the actual Be a GM.

 

If I can get back into another GM Connected league and be able to watch my games and $&!# then I would be thrilled.

 

Also make EASHL better than the $&!#fest that it is right now.

 

Please add practice to the loading screens, a la FIFA. Why can FIFA have it so you can practice shots on net, but NHL under the same company won't do it? I get it, smaller dev team, etc....but come on. Go knock on FIFA's door and ask for the source code or something. I know it's not that easy, but you know what I mean.

 

Also, that definitely isn't Kadri/JVR in that pic. It's a Lightning. Probably Stamkos or Kucherov, etc. I think the King is Kopitar.

I'll likely be getting this as I haven't had an NHL game since 14. 

 

I still wish they kept the old simming system for BAGM though, as I found the simpler version was more addicting than the overloading of crap that they have now. 

 

I just want one of these gen years to be like NHL 2004 where the features they add are awesome and you can play it for years after.

Basically the same game engine for the past 10 years with upgraded graphics. 

 

NHL used to be king, now EA should take a look at the 2k guys and what they have done with their NBA series. You can tell which employees get paid more. So much attention to detail. 

 

EA doesnt even do regular roster updates, shows how much they care
