5.0 out of 5 stars Worth buying.. even if you have NHL16 (that's saying a lot considering it's EA)
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2016
Platform For Display: PlayStation 4Edition: StandardVerified Purchase
Bottom line: This game is worth it if you play online, even if you bought NHL16 (and 100% worth the upgrade if you last had 15).

I've been playing the NHL series since NHL 99. I usually buy every other year's game, with some exceptions. I completely passed on NHL15 -- that game was a horrible attempt at anything aside from good graphics. I did purchase NHL16 and it was certainly better but also lacking (especially in EASHL). Reading all of the changes that EA made for this game... I was impressed. I think they took some of our biggest complaints and really addressed them with this game. So far I've played about 8 hours of the game -- mostly Online Vs, EASHL, and then just seeing what was new in some of the other modes.

Online Versus / Overall gameplay: 7/10
Biggest complaints: The defensive AI is pretty horrific at times. I can't tell you how many times my other defender will be the first player up the ice on a breakout. It doesn't happen all the time, but it's way too often where as soon as you get the puck your other defender will just start skating up ice looking for the pass (further up the ice than your forwards). The player awareness of where the puck is, is really bad. I'm having a lot of instances of my players skating really close to the puck but their body is turned just so slightly so they won't realize the puck is right underneath them as I run it over. Making minute changes with the skating is really difficult. While visually, the skating -looks- more realistic... it's so difficult to actually control their (smaller/finite) movements. The skating lacks the fluidity that the older generations of game had.
Improvements: I think the goalies play a little better. Also, the computer on the Superstar difficulty is much more difficult than previous games. NHL is my favorite series so over time the Superstar difficulty hasn't been able to put up a challenge but this year it's much more difficult, which for me is a huge plus and makes some of the offline modes have more re-playability.

Draft Champions: 8/10
This is a really cool mode if you like the whole idea of the fantasy team but don't have the time/money to be competitive in HUT. I loved this mode in Madden and was stoked they brought it in. The NHL series added some features and ignored some that were kind of important. Basically, you start out by picking one of four different types of teams (for example: Canadian players only, over 30 players only, USA players only, European players, Movember players, Stanley Cup winners, etc). You start out with a kind of crappy base team (most players are ranked 79 and below). Then, you have 12 rounds to pick high quality players to add to your team. Each round you have a choice of 4 players and they'll each be about 87OVR and up. You'll get the opportunity to play with Legends (Sakic, Lindros, Neely, Lidstrom, etc) - usually 2 show up during the course of the 12 rounds. It's a fun mode. The issue with the mode is that the rewards only help you out if you play HUT. There's no win/loss record, leaderboard, or anything that really helps you out in other areas of the game with this mode -- so it doesn't feel like you're making progress towards anything. But it's a fun mode for sure.

EASHL: 9/10
I miss the EASHL of NHL11 where you could really customize your attributes and it took a long time before you actually maxed things out. I thought that system was the best. But, this year's is good too. Basically, when you make a player you don't get to do anything to their height/weight or attributes. When you actually join the game you have an option of I think 10 different classes of player to be (Sniper, Hitting Sniper, Playmaker, Dangler, 2WF, Grinder, etc). Each class comes with a pre-set height/weight and attribute layout. There's no bonuses you acquire over time for your attributes. You unlock a lot of different customization the more you play though. I think the mode is on the right track but considering a game made 6 years ago still competes in terms of that mode, it's a little disappointing. But it's a marked improvement over 16.

I don't really play HUT. Be a Pro I heard didn't get any significant changes to it. And I haven't had a chance to look at the Franchise mode yet but I'll update when I do. World Cup of Hockey mode is pretty cool and I like that they have all the right jerseys for it. I thought there would be more presentation in that mode but it's almost like playing any other game.

Overall: The game is absolutely worth the $48 pricetag amazon offers its prime members. If you're offline only or you really only play it for the gameplay and don't care about any of the features that are in the modes -- it's probably not enough reason to upgrade over 16. Hope this helps!

5.0 out of 5 stars Frequent player review
Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2016
Platform For Display: PlayStation 4Edition: StandardVerified Purchase
Nhl is my most played game by far, if you're like me you'll know exactly why this games worth buying. They did a great job improving nearly every area of the game. A lot of which can be attributed to them bitting off more than they could chew last year with a new engine in place so the game had a few obvious flaws and fell short of being a polished product. Well the next step came and I'm glad to say they listened. Fine tuned the game play, improved eashl in and out, added customization across the board, etc. By no means is it perfect product and I'm sure in a few months there will be another list of common complaints.

The point here is the people that make this game seem to be getting more in touch with the community and making meaningfull changes and strides as the series goes on. Which is a lot more than ea can say about their real cash cow MADDEN.

About every year nhl drops a game that makes it impossible to want to go back to the previous generation. I believe this one's no different.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brought back some of the classics, got some newer features right
Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2016
Platform For Display: PlayStation 4Edition: StandardVerified Purchase
A good edition to the franchise. Having messed up royally in the last few years, I wasn't expecting much out of this one. But the longing for the return of classic features (like the 3 Stars) feels like the developers might be making a comeback; hence the 5 stars is a reward for good behavior rather than earned on its own. Better OTP and league game options also show that the franchise is (finally!) getting used to network play. I hope this starts off a new sequence of improving quality, though I've learned to have low expectations of EA in this regard. Time will tell.

3.0 out of 5 stars Glitches Hurt A Once Great Franchise
Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2016
Platform For Display: PlayStation 4Edition: StandardVerified Purchase
I wanted to give this 5 Stars despite the fact that EA routinely just pumps out a roster update with a few minor feature updates & new HUT layout all under the title of NHL ##, but couldn't because of glitches even after the first pre-release patch.

To start off, gameplay is more authentic and fluid than last year's edition, with much improved goalie gameplay. You can play on semi-pro now and actually have your Goalie put up a 45+ save night, give up 1 goal, and get you the win, which I've never seen in an NHL game by EA. Goalie gameplay is so improved that odd goals don't frequently occur and they make big saves in realistic ways instead of stupid, exaggerated dives. Tuners & Sliders actually are more authentic this year.

The issues come from glitches, which is the sole reason I give this 3 stars. Want faster gameplay? Increase the slider of course, but gameplay will glitch allowing your player to keep sliding after you sped up the ice and tried to stop on a dime to pass or shoot. They will just keep sliding along the ice and eventually into the boards. That was the 1st major glitch. Next, save frequently because the game will randomly die on you after a few games played. Had a nice 3 game win streak going with impressive player stats before I went back to the main franchise home screen and my game stopped working. Not even a freeze, though those still happen, this was a full on game crash. So much for playing it, I decided to sim ahead a bit. Don't bother editing any features of your newly drafted players because they will age 10 years as soon as you exit the edit screen. Way to go EA!

Until the glitches are all addressed and fixed, this game is unplayable unless you like arcade-style hockey games that crash on you randomly for no reason. Although that should give this a 1 star, it gets 3 because when the game is actually working, it's a thing of beauty. Gameplay even on Semi-Pro is difficult and competitive. Used to be that if you played on Rookie you'd put up 10 goals in the 1st period, but if you bumped it up a level to Semi-Pro it would play like Veteran. Now when you bump it up to Semi-Pro, games are competitive and you eke out 3-1 wins or see your goalie stand on his head to win the game. There are still oddities where if you desperately need a goal, just keep having your defensemen shoot from the point and it will eventually go in, but gameplay is competitive nonetheless.

So give it a few weeks as of this writing in late September until you get this in order for all the glitches to be fixed. EA has slashed the NHL franchise's budget in recent years, but it should never have gotten to the level where the game was unplayable due to crashes or odd player gameplay glitches.

5.0 out of 5 stars NHL好きなら買い。
Reviewed in Japan on September 25, 2016
Platform For Display: PlayStation 4Edition: StandardVerified Purchase
詳細のレビューが特になかったので、参考になればと思い書かせて頂きます。
結論から先に書きますと、ＮＨＬ好きなら購入して良いと思います。私は１６も所有していますが、１７になってからフランチャイズが強化されて十分楽しめています。
フランチャイズ移転から、アリーナのカスタマイズにチケット代金変更によって利益を出していく。あまりにも高額なチケットだと、観客は減ってしまい空席が目立つ等の工夫もされています。また地区首位争いなら多少高くてもファンはきてくれます。が、地区最下位であればその逆も起こりますし。このあたりのバランスと空いてる客席を観るのも楽しいなと感じる部分です。
また満員であればフードやユニフォームの売り上げにも影響が出て、一概にチケット代金を下げたら利益が減るというものでもない等の、営業面での楽しみを感じられるようになっています。

試合面も工夫がされてます。
具体的にはＲＳの試合とプレーオフの試合の雰囲気、歓声の大きさです。こちらは１６もそうでしたがプレーオフになるとファンのボルテージがあがります。
ちょっとうるさいなってレベルですが、実際のプレーオフで起こることですし嬉しい工夫ですね。
１６と違うところと言えば、ホーム側の得点シーンが先制や逆転の場合アリーナが揺れるというところでしょう。このあたりは熱気を感じるので思わずテンションが上がりました。
またカンファレンスファイナルや、スタンレーカップファイナルでホーム側が勝ってますと、試合残り時間１０秒前からファンがカウントダウンしてくれます。これがまた良い気分にしてますし、アウェイ側だと絶望時間になるので、必死で攻撃したくなるかと思います。
今回からはスライダーも１～１０程度のおおざっぱな数値では無く、１～１００で設定ができるようになったので実際のＮＨＬの試合に近づけるようになりました。このあたりも個人的には嬉しいところですね。デフォだと得点が多いので、シュートとゴーリーをいじるほうが良いかもしれません。

ただ、残念な面もあります。フランチャイズ中はエディットで選手の能力が弄られないため、この能力はおかしい！と思っても直せません。これは開始前に弄るほか無くて、すこし残念です。
まぁ、モード中に弄られるようにすればover９９のスター選手ばっかのチームを作れてしまうからだとかの問題はあるのでしょうが、同じEAから出されてるMADDEN　NFL１７では出来ることなので、こちらでも出来ればなぁと…。

フランチャイズ以外ではクイックマッチやPlay-offmode。今現在行われているホッケーW杯も実装されています。おなじみのHUTもありますし、ドラフトチャンピオンもありますので長く遊べるゲームかと思います。

長文になりましたがお読み頂きありがとうございました。
これで日本でのNHLファンが少しでも増えるのを願って。
