If youโre an Xbox One owner and a member of EA Access you can look forward to the service adding EA Sports NHL 16 to the Vault this coming March 29th. Our own Patrick Anderson covered NHL 16 on its release and chalked it up to a great experience.
โThe team at EA NHL heard last yearโs criticisms. And they did it right: they went out and got real fans, brought them in, and worked with them to address the problems with NHL 15. They did their homework โ and wow, does it ever show. This is as complete an NHL experience as I think you can possibly get in a video game. With so many ways to play, it is almost like you are getting 4, 5, or more games for the price of one. And now, even the journeyman players, like me, who might have shied away in the past out of fear of getting owned online by the elite players, have no excuse not to play, as there are lots of built-in training features to help you improve. While it may not be perfect, and it still has some kinks to iron out, NHL 16 is the comeback the series needed, and it is a great title for those looking to jump back into the action. Now, if youโll excuse me, my team is down in the third period, and my shift is coming up.โ
NHL 16 delivers your most requested features along with new experiences that make NHL 16 bigger and better, like the all-new On-Ice Visual Trainer and smarter Coach Feedback; both tools will teach new players how to learn the fundamentals and give returning players tips on how to build on their NHL skills. From new levels of depth across single player and team modes, combined with improved gameplay balance and control at every position as well as an unrivaled game day atmosphere, NHL 16 puts you into the heart of a team, where youโll play together and win together.
