**NHL 16 Thread** Part II

[PG Canuck]

Nope.. Didn't know that and there was no option other than A-Z or
Z-A... Yea.. And even if there is a setting, why on earth would scoring leaders be sorted by name and not by scoring?

Complaining just to complain...

 

[Shrimper]

Would you guys reckon it is good enough to starts GM mode now?

 

[Karma]

Played for a few hours tonight. Really enjoying Be a Pro. Only complaint I have is that it has crashed and kicked me back to the Xbox One home screen twice.

 

[chaosrevolver]

So what I'm getting is that some people hate it because they don't like a challenge?

I for one love that it is a lot harder to do what I want offensively, and while it will take some getting adjusted to, this is one of the better NHL's I have played when it comes to realistic gameplay (something I've been wishing for).

 

[Picaroon]

I only got to play a few games, but as a major critic of 15, this games is miles better. You actually have to think with and without the puck. Cycling and cutting off passing lanes are key in this game. Overall the gameplay is much more realistic. I was getting smoked on All Star haha.

I feel like after the first patch/update, this game will be excellent.

I'm finding it a lot harder.

Seasons in HUT on Pro is hard which is what it should be!

 

[Stephleref]

Basically means, you are just TERRIBLE at this game. You should go look at Wayne Gretskys 3D hockey..that is probably your type of game.

That game is amazing so that's not much of an insult.

 

[TrillMike]

I've really enjoyed this year's game. Only two issues I'd like to see addressed are adjusting the contrast on line energy/endurance (it's kind of hard to make out) and not having to turn off all the on-ice training things every single game.

 

[Nicky Santoro]

and not having to turn off all the on-ice training things every single game.

BINGO!!

Thank you. I addressed this earlier and didnt get a response. I play in Season Mode and it's sooooo frustrating that 82x, i have to go there and turn off 10 things each time. I hate it. Even after i save my season, i still have to do this before each game. So time consuming and frustrating. .

And call me crazy, but i hate the MENU.. when u move the sliders, it moves very slow, u have to always press L2.. wtf??

Yeah, I am also really enjoying be a pro. My only complaint.... playing goalie is just too tough, especially against the CPU.

You can turn the on ice training off through the general settings. Before you enter season mode on the main screen go to customize. Do it through that.

The user team defensive AI around the net is the worst I've ever seen in a hockey game. Biggest complaint of the game for me.

So far loving the Be a Pro. Playing in OHL on superstar and hardcore simulation and man I'm struggling from time to time I get so much more satisfaction scoring a goal or more so getting an assist compared to last BaP modes. Gotte keep the play simple as my guy can't handle toe drags or little bumps from the opposing defensemen. Kinda wish my line mates could score more often but maybe it'll get better as I get more skilled guys on my wings.

One thing I noticed is that you can't really sim the games if you want to get drafted high. I was leading the league in points playing the 3rd period of every other game and my agent told me I'm unlikely to get drafted. I don't mind working my way up though. Also don't have a problem with playing the whole games it's just that when I did that in 15 (ps3) I would score over 100 points in my rookie season as 70 something overall player.

 

[Trap Jesus]

It's taking me a while to get used to the passing; that's essentially my entire game for the NHL series, so I gotta get that down pat. Last game I played was NHL 14 and it feels completely different. Definitely a lot tougher to get passes through in this game, and I'll randomly fire passes way too hard in this one.

Defensive play feels very natural. No trouble adapting in that sense.

Really?

The game has a flaw and I'm not entitled to shed light on that specific flaw? It's just annoying, it's not a game breaker by any means, but it should be fixed. If I pay 100USD for a freakin game, I expect it to work properly.

 

[IceBjoern]

That is such a silly thing to complain about especially with the ****** random ass morale system.

I know my freakin morale is down because of the issues with stats, I enjoy stats... I want a talk with EA but they're just going to give me the second option in the answer section.. No impact...

BAP - Anybody know how to get the skating xp up? I can get endurance, but that's about it.

Going into your settings and turn simming penalties off.

I havent figured it out either. maybe the weekly training. Just always put it on that?

Speed is such a huge part of my game so its killing me.

I play an offensive defender. Trying to be like Leetch but with no speed i can't get back into position after joining the rush.

You can literally just sort it

It has always been that way

 

[VLU5]

Had it off from the beginning. It's just that you're not getting very much xp when simming.

You're the second person to tell me this. Could you tell me how I do it? Because the only option I can see is to press the right stick to "sort".. Doesn't matter how meny times I press that button, it's still not sorted after scoring.

Maybe. I started at the draft, so the weekly training seems to be disabled right now. Perhaps it'll come back after the draft?

Move your control stick right to highlight whatever category you want to sort by and then click the right stick.

Thanks, I'll try as soon as I get home.
