The attendance model in franchise is based on the team you play, time of the year, standings, and their local and national popularity and you can change all of those options. The options to customize your team are intense. They do have No Dekes, so that is close enough. You already had their logo in the options to choose from, but the play by play doesn’t have Nordiques listed. Making the Nordiques was relatively easy. I used this to create the Quebec Nordiques and Las Vegas Knights. It saves you the step of waiting a year to relocate and allows you to perfect your team before bringing them into the league. In addition to relocating your franchise, you can also create a team and substitute them into your franchise before starting your season or fantasy draft. This adds on to the immersive scouting and morale interface that was already there. They added an owner’s mode which allows you to have complete control of your budget, relocate, and even schedule promotion nights. I played a game with Patrick Roy and it felt like Roy was actually playing.įranchise mode continues to add more immersion. You can tell when you’re playing Carey Price or Sergei Bobrovsky as there is a distinct style difference between goaltenders. With the importance of traffic in front of the net to score, like in the real game, you’ll see yourself using this feature.Īlso, goaltenders have their own style. There is also a new net battles engine that allows you to battle for the prime real estate in front of the net. The sliders have been completely redone and are now a scale of 100 rather than the previous 10 allowing for more fine tuning. Better collisions for both players and the puck, including incidental contact with teammates, other players and the boards. The gameplay itself feels and looks a lot better. There was even a fan in the stands who had a hand-made sign: “Jared Book, don’t screw up”. It all adds to the immersion without having to study all 30 teams.
They focus on a player with two goals, saying he’s close to a hat trick. You get in-game pop ups when you’re facing a player in his first NHL game, and I even got a pop up that a team had a new president during the in-game broadcast.
That is fixed, and there are so many little updates that make playing a game in NHL 17 much more enjoyable. It is one of those things that when playing a season makes you feel distant from the other teams you are playing against. One of the little things that annoyed me the most when playing NHL 16, is that the pop up after a goal was scored would show the goals the player who scored had in the game and not for the season.
