Anyway, there is an issue with my slider settings being reset before each game in BeAGM mode. Am I missing a setting here? Or do I really have to go through the settings menu and put in my sliders before every game in Be AGM mode? Thank you AP

Fifa 15 was good for me and Fifa 16 doesn't included nothing big innovation, so I still playing Fifa 15.

I'm in the same boat.
I'm having fun with NHL16 so unless '17 blows my mind with massive upgrades, I won't be buying.

The gameplay/AI would need to take a huge leap forward and they would have to add considerable depth to the Franchise and BAP modes in order for me to consider paying full price for '17.

To me, it's the AI that needs a leap. In fact, I think it's the most maddening thing about this game. Unfortunately, it's a thing that you won't know until you play if it's been improved or is still leaky.

I'm having a hell of a time balancing my game and the random inexcusable breakdowns in AI are a big problem. It takes me back to NHL 2K10, which had incredible potential but the flaws were too glaring to ignore. I forgot how frustrating it can be after having a nearly flawless time with NHL 11 and NHL 12 for the past 5 years.

I Have the game for xbox one and since the last update or tuner i can not stand it i have reverted back to playing 15 the game plays way to fast on hardcore i thought
hardcore was supposed to be slow i play 6 min periods and now each team gets 40 shots on goal it is crazy because the cpu is so jacked up i am just fed up with it i actually took the game out and threw it. you can not even face forward because the pursuit is so strong and then once you get away from the guy who is on your tail another comes at you and nocks you on your butt and if you do get to face forward your so far away from the scoring zones besides the fact that if you initiate contact the cpu always recovers before you . there so much contact with goalies and they never call penalties. the game is garbage now.

nhl 15 is much better then this edition. your guys can not even get in front of there goalie and re direct shots because you can not cycle the puck like you can in 15 then there is not cpu players trying to nock pucks in with there sticks like in 15 its almost like you removed it. going forward your game needs a major re haul player models are way to big you need to make the rinks bigger there is no space to do anything cpu passes are way to accurate


I am so ticked that you are the only option what has this world come too
we got 50 million cars to choose from 50 million anything but only one hockey game.

I'm reaching my breaking point with this game man. It's becoming a chore and a frustration to play. It's a shame because it has incredible moments the majority of the time. And I can take a flaw here and there, sparingly. But every game is starting to show where this game lacks: defensive AI, awful puck control along the boards (think they got too ambitious with physics here), board play in general lacks.

I think my biggest issue is defensive controls. They're too limited. I feel like I stand around waiting for them to finally connect on a one timer instead of being able to engage in a battle with a forward. I have to pray my manual poke check breaks up a pass (sometimes it goes right through my stick, SO frustrating) or that my defender will trigger an automatic puck interception animation. My sliders for poke checking, hit power, stick lifts, and puck interceptions is maxed out.

It just sucks this is the only option out there. I would go back to previous year's editions that I feel play better, but those options are limited on PS4. I don't want to buy a used PS3 so I can go back to NHL 12 until that console breaks down like the two I had previously.

Just between a rock and a hard place: want to play a hockey game, but unhappy with this game. I'm gonna put it on the shelf for a solid month at least and revisit. I've had a lot of fun with this game, but lately it's been an exercise in how many issues I can take before I send a controller through the TV. One, I'm an adult now so I shouldn't do that like I did as a kid (LOL), two that's an expensive fit of anger, and three it shouldn't come to that.

Sorry for the rant. Had to get this off my chest. My cat isn't a good listener.
