Ice hockey fans can strap on their skates, because 'EA SPORTS NHL 16' is now available for Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
For NHL 16, fans were more involved in the game's development than ever before, and this year's ice hockey simulation offers the most requested features and modes.
Last month, more than 180.000 fans participated in the first beta of the EA SPORTS Hockey League (EASHL). The resulting feedback, along with requests from forums, social media, and Ask NHL, led to significant improvements in the game shortly before its release. These include: Quick EASHL Play, a new EASHL badge system, an online/offline shootout mode, and the United Center.
"The development team has gone through an incredible journey this year."says Sean Ramjagsingh, Senior Producer, EA SPORTS NHL. “We have worked more closely than ever with our fans to truly understand what they want to see in this year’s game. The team is incredibly proud of NHL 16 and we can’t wait for fans to finally get their hands on the finished product they helped create.”
NHL 16 fans can expect more ways to play than ever before. They can team up with friends for online 6-on-6 team play, online couch co-op, or the popular EASHL, which features a new player class system for a more balanced experience. Single players can enjoy a new "Be A Pro" progression system where on-ice performance determines how their pro develops. "Be A GM" includes a brand-new morale management feature, and Hockey Ultimate Team now lets fans play through single-player seasons offline.
NHL 16 also introduces the new visual on-ice trainer and features smarter coaching feedback. Both tools help new players learn the fundamentals and give veterans valuable tips on how to refine their NHL skills. Thanks to improved gameplay balance, more precise controls at all positions, and the unique game-day atmosphere, NHL 16 puts the player at the heart of a team where everyone works together to fight for and win.
For Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 players, the EA SPORTS NHL Legacy Edition combines the most popular modes and award-winning gameplay features from nine years of NHL hockey – ideal for fans who want top-notch hockey on these consoles. (pr)
