Another feature borrowed from Madden is Draft Champions, which takes Hockey Ultimate Team mode to another level by allowing you to draft all time greats as well as current players.
EASHL takes advantage of some of these features as well, allowing you to unlock fun customizations for your team’s rink when playing online as well as for your uniforms and players.
XBOX ONE NHL 17 UPGRADE
In the former, you can finally control a team to the same level of detail as in Madden, which includes the ability to relocate and rebrand, upgrade your arena, make marketing decisions to increase revenue and your ability to spend, etc. Where the game has really improved is in the customization afforded throughout both the Franchise mode and the EASHL online league. If you’re not familiar with how the game works, there’s plenty of tips and visual hints with this in game coaching options, though you can shut them off as well if you don’t need them or find them annoying.
Many of the same tricks that worked in the past couple years still apply to 17, with the basics of shooting, passing, and hitting remaining intact. Looking at the whole picture gameplay wise not too much has changed.
Players have more celebration animations, both user controlled and in the default presentation, though some of the latter are a bit awkward and repeat themselves too often, breaking immersion. Teams now have their own horns and goal songs as well, adding to the updated authentic arenas that were introduced last year. When you do score a goal, the camera actually vibrates with the roar of the crowd now, which is a nice touch, particularly for playoff games.

Goalie animations have more variation, particularly in their stances, which are made to try to mirror the style of their real life counterparts more accurately (i.e. Anyways, jump into a game and most of the changes are in the smaller details. What’s also nice, at least in my opinion, is the return of an actual soundtrack instead of the same generic song looping in the background. Thank goodness, because all the pauses for loading in 15 and 16 got really annoying over the course of the season. Right away the first thing you’ll notice about NHL 17 is it has a much more responsive menu system than last year’s edition. The question is have they done enough beyond a roster to warrant another buy? NHL 16 righted most of the wrongs fortunately and today comes NHL 17 to build on its shored up foundation. While NHL 15 arrived on the PS4/XB1 platform after its other sports siblings, it lacked many critical features like online leagues, leading to a huge outcry. EA Sports is now on its third installment of hockey for this generation of console gaming.
