So is NHL 16 a should-buy this year?

I am out of the loop with this NHL series after last years fiasco which really burned me last year. I have not read much about this upcoming game. What do you guys think so far? Going to be a good game this year?

Buying it on release day or waiting or not buying at all?

It looks like an improvement on last year, though that's not really much of a statement.

With the EA Access trial dropping tomorrow, I'd suggest trying that if you've got an XB1. If not, there should be a good amount of impressions filtering in over the next few days to help your decision.

Yeah, I'd say try out EA Access. Depending on what you want from the game, that's either been turned around or left relatively untouched, so your perspective is essential in making the choice.

Sorry to say this but NHL hasn't been a should buy since 09 IMO. It all depends what you're looking for out of the game though. Play it on EA Access if you have the opportunity and check it out. Otherwise I'd wait for impressions here a couple weeks after release day when the dust settles.

Have there been any gameplay improvements? Everything I see is about the modes that should have been in last year.

I'm in the same boat as my old buddy Grog. Long time no talk, buddy. I still get my hockey fix from old 2K titles (2K8,2K10 and 2K11). Up till now I don't think EA has done anything better. We are 6 years past 2K10 now. Hope 16 is worth buying.

If you mainly play the online modes (HUT/EASHL), I imagine you'll enjoy it. If you mainly like to play Be a GM/Be a Pro, avoid at all costs.
