NHL 16
Developed by EA Canada
Published by EA Sports
Available on PS4, Xbox One
EA’s previous venture onto the frozen pond wasn’t an outing to remember, as they attempted to cater to both last-gen and current-gen consoles, but ended up satisfying neither audience. NHL 15 suffered from a severe lack of content and the horrible connectivity issues put a nasty blemish on the record of an otherwise well-regarded franchise. In order to right the ship, EA has turned to their fan base for both forgiveness and guidance, with the hopes of putting NHL 16 back on top of the list of premiere sports simulation games.
It’s not uncommon to see a game developer claim that they scour the internet listening to fan feedback in order to better their game, but this year EA took it one step further. In order to redeem themselves for last year’s blunder, EA...

Every time I hear of a new video game console, I begin to wonder what type of advancements it’ll allow EA Canada’s NHL development team to make. I kid you not, that’s the first thing that comes to mind. Perhaps it’s the Canadian in me, but each and every new iteration of the franchise gets me excited. Say what you will about sports games, and feel free to have your own opinion of them, but there isn’t a series out there that has taken more of my free time than EA Sports’ NHL.

It was an amazing experience, which just so happened to coincide with the city’s noticeable but muted Stanley Cup Finals fever.

Last year, a lockout kept the National Hockey League’s elite talents from taking the ice for a full season, and instead forced them to make do with a shortened, forty-eight game schedule. This year will thankfully be different, as October 1st will mark the beginning of the League’s return to an eighty-two game schedule. As a result of things being restored to normal, fans, number crunchers and talking heads will be able to take players’ stats at whole value again, as last year’s half campaign was apparently too short of an amount of time to properly gauge some teams’ new acquisitions, promoted personnel and coaches. For Leaf fans like myself, this means finding out how well newly-signed former first-round draft pick, Nazem Kadri, will handle a full term.
As expected, the dawn of another nine months of NHL action has been paired with a brand new iteration...

Unfortunately, we may not get to see the National Hockey League’s elite battle it out for rink supremacy this year. That is, unless the League and its Players’ Association come to an agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement, which seems to be a pipe dream at this point in time. However, there is one silver lining for all of us armchair sports gamers, as EA Canada hasn’t taken the year off like their real-life inspiration may. For that reason, we can (thankfully) still turn to its incredible hockey franchise for some virtual competition, as NHL 13 is now available on retail store shelves.
