- the online connection is better and having the meter is a bonus, there was still lag at times but not nearly as atrocious as nhl16, hopefully this maintains as this was sooooooooo annoying in 16.
- the passing is better and the gameplay slider seemed to help this.
- graphics are nice.
- the goalies still suck! bigtime! we outshot a team 39-9 and won 4-3. Our goalies save percentage during those 5 games was 66%, really frustrating, a lot of the same short side goals, scoring on your own net, etc.
- skating over the puck and not picking it up.
- the gameplay feels crowded, still hard to make nice plays cuz everyone is bunched.
- dekes are hard in close to the goalie (not sure if this is input lag) but you almost have to deke and shoot sooner then you think you should.
-- Seethe in frustration as your own teammates stand in your way, break up offensive chances, and refuse to react to the opposing squad.
-- Watch helplessly as your all-world goalie gives up 3 goals on 10 shots, all of them weak, soft shots, while it takes you 65 shots to score 4 times against the computer.
-- Throw your controller as your forwards repeatedly stop moving up the ice, causing you to run into them or turn the puck over. All. The. Time.
-- Be amazed as your AI-controlled opposing team plays near flawless hockey, never miss a pass, is seemingly immune to your poke checks and body checks, and scores goals at will. while your AI-controlled teammates play a confused, tepid, weak game, allowing cheap goals and not doing anything to stop your opponents. Yep, seems totally fair to me!
-- Watch in wonder as your shutout victory is broken up with 30 seconds remaining by a single AI-controlled player who waltzes through 3 of your defenders and puts the puck into the net as your goalie stands stock-still.

This Game Is A Buffalo Turd Wrapped In Puke.
Ok, I'm a big fan of the EA League customizations. However, this game has the worst AI and player control I've seen yet. There will be moments where your player will actively attack the puck and others where he'll just stare at it. Most frustrating is the passing when he'll blatantly pass to the other team or off into no-mans-land for no reason. The AI players are even more frustrating where they will take forever to make decisions on how to play the puck. Biggest pet peve for AI is the amount of times they will score on their own net when they crash the net skating back on defense or making foolish passes near the net. The amount of jaw-dropping nonsensical goals reach epic proportions in this game. One crazy goal every so often, I can understand; that happens but multiple times consistently every game; umm no. This game acts like every game you play is arbitrarily predetermined: 30% skill 70% NHL 17's pick of the moment. If you have issues with high blood pressure, stay away.

It gets more and more disappointing year after year.
Did anyone at EA ever even play hockey? The new customizations arent worth the amount of stress you feel from playing with terrible AI's. There is no system at all, the guys just dump it in on breakaways, and your Dmen literally cant pass and constantly turn into checks. Theyre practically suicidal. EA has become terribly lazy in making their once constant Sports Game of the Year, and now NHL is possibly the worst sports game. Heres to hoping they start making NHL2K again. Maybe EA will put a little effort in then.

new year same game.
Same game since nhl 06, crappy looking crowd, presentations nowhere near real hockey, no group celebrating just two bros hugging it out, you score n 5 seconds later the commentary says SCORE, no off ice anything, eashl play for stats, congrats 1000 points , do you even job bro. franchise mode is great, the games fun but i've played since 94 n the laziness of EA is ridiculous, they just keep pumping out the copy paste garbage cause why not it sales.

Worst game.
This game gets worse and worse each year. make NHL 13 backwards comp. plz this game is terrible. Fire the entire crew.

Highly unrealistic copy & paste garbage.
if the net is wide open your player misses 90% of the time even on a perfect shot, if u win a faceoff & and quickly pass to the point for a shot they fan on it & the puck flips into the air or they just let the puck go past them, players just stand around & dont go for the puck, passing is horrible, AI players play like a high school team, most players dont look anything like real life, allstar goaltenders somehow let in wrist shots from the blue line, fast players are nowhere near as fast as they actually are, players just skate past the puck or push it away even when its well within reach, defenders dont cover their man, the AI doesnt know how to set up plays or get open, most of the time they skate right behind you instead of on their side, the list goes on and on. its clear that ea doesnt know how hockey actually works and olny cares about $$$. i seriouly think they were looking at how high school players play when they made this.

glitchy. very glitchy.
I love hockey and i loved NHL 16, but 17 is full of errors and problems. after your first season fighting breaks and becomes disabled, AI goes from brilliant to shooting at its own goal from game to game, on BAP the coaches feedback glitches randomly and gives all A`s or all C`s regardless of play, also you get docked exp for things like shooting and not scoring or staying late on the back check to deal with a defender. Id recomend renting this one before buying to see if the various glitches affect how you play or not. I know the fight glitch really cramps my style.

Worse as the year goes on.
It seems to be a recurring theme every year that each tuner make the game worsen. EA does, however, do a great job of trying to cram their HUT packs down your throat without fail. Hockey a great game and has always been fun to play in video game form, but NHL17 has frequently left me questioning if I will remain loyal to the EA staple. They need some big plans ahead to make the game feel fresh. I have played this game for years religiously, and each year with the Next Gen installments my heart breaks a little more. PLEASE EA, FIRE Rammer once and for all and breathe new life into what has so much potential to be a GREAT game.

Good, but obviously EA.
Really just 16 repackaged with some small tweaks and more celebrations. Currently a entry-draft bug has stopped me from playing, and there seems to be no fix in sight. Thanks again EA.

save stress do not buy.
its so so bad. its ridiculously slower even at its highest setting. hit stick is now the lightly touch stick and doesnt work half the time. pass accuracy hasnt improved and its even worse when it comes to skating over the puck without taking possession. i had nhl14 and15 those were fun. this game is the exact opposite. save the stress and do not buy this game.

Rent or get a demo before buying.
Goaltending needs HELP. Way too many weird goals go in for this to be considered a legit product. Scoring is easy ANYONE can do it with this game. There is nothing simulation about this game if you play online. The AI is borderline autistic at times and will put the puck in his own net. I love hockey but this series needs competition in order to push the dev team to make a better product. It's a fun game but NOT EVEN CLOSE to real hockey.

NHL 17 Review.
With NHL 16 having accomplished its mission of righting the ship after the NHL 15 debacle, NHL 17 gets to try out a few new moves. Offline and online users each get something meaty — with a new franchise mode and deep EA Sports Hockey League customization, respectively — and Hockey Ultimate Team fans get some smart upgrades, as well as the new Draft Champions mode. This is a smooth, solid, hard-hitting and feature-rich game that delivers in the ways a modern sports game should.
NHL 17 is an appealing revision because of new ways to play as well as improvements to some existing modes, and the game accommodates various skill levels more than ever. Even the tenacity of computer-controlled opposition is upgraded, which is something I haven’t been able to say about certain previous entries in the series. It’s been a pleasure to see the opposing teams use aggressive hitting and a dump-and-chase style of hockey to put the pressure on, as it’s made me (a long-time player of the series) re-evaluate a few strategies. EA seems to be getting quite comfortable with the new engine they debuted a couple of years back, and that confidence has a positive knock-on effect for the whole package.
As you hit the ice you’ll find that this year’s game plays smoothly and crisply, with a good challenge if you want to seek it out. On higher difficulty settings you have less time in general to make decisions, and that pressure makes defensive zone battles feel more crucial. I’d say entering the offensive zone is still a bit too easy, but it can be hard to shake defenders a good deal of the time once you do. The computer also regains the puck too frequently after being poke-checked, but I’ll take this added aggression over some of the passive stuff that was seen in previous NHL games.
On the higher difficulty settings goalies are fairly sharp.
Another new angle is that players can now battle in front of the net, which allows bigger forwards to try to establish position in front of the goaltenders. This is useful for creating screens and setting picks. To combat this, the goaltenders have a new set of save animations, which allows goalies to move and react more believably. Goalies will have a distinct resting stance and many of them play positionally, shouldering down pucks and using their frame to cut down the angle. On the higher difficulty settings goalies are fairly sharp, requiring accurate slap shots, one-timers, and wristers to beat them. No obvious “money” goals yet, in other words.
There’s a lot of complexity to all of these interactions, but NHL 17 eases you into them and teaches you to make the most of a situation. A universally welcome feature from NHL 16 was the on-ice trainer, which helped guide newer players through some of the nuances of the controls. This has been enhanced for NHL 17, with added direction from coaches between periods and more on-ice visual aids. It’s nice to see specific zones that your player should be covering, and the projected bank path for saucer passes off the boards is a good touch. The return of “semi-pro” difficulty helps serve as a bridge for casual players, too. Hockey seems very well suited for this type of instruction, and it just makes sense to start novice players with the basics and then occasionally remind them of an advanced technique.
The presentation that was revamped two years ago still looks sharp, and it maintains the NHL series’ distinct look among modern sports games, even if there are no noticeable improvements over last year. I still love seeing the mascots dance around and fans getting pumped up after a goal, and the arena-specific items and effects keep that authentic feel. On the other hand, the commentary by Doc Emrick, Eddie Olczyk, and Ray Ferraro doesn’t seem to have much additional variety. Also, the green-screen intros have kind of lost their appeal after the initial professional broadcast sizzle.
NHL has needed this sort of management mode badly for a while now.
The “Be A GM” mode has been a staple of the NHL series for years, and last year it was improved via the addition of a morale system which let you monitor your players and meet with them if things started to go awry. NHL 17 has expanded this and gone into full-on owner territory, pulling from the likes of NBA 2K and Madden, to provide full control of a franchise. It’s quite impressive how deep EA went with this feature, as you can adjust the price of individual food items at the concession, launch promotional nights, upgrade stadium facilities, meddle with ticket prices, and even relocate a franchise. All of these systems (including standard features like scouting, roster moves and player morale) interact in multiple ways. I was particularly impressed with the clean explanations of how a franchise’s national exposure, market temperament, and playoff performance would affect ticket sales, for example. Even building upgrades had an impact on how fans would feel about the team. There are limits to this mode, especially when compared with the game-day depth and presentation in Madden or NBA 2K, but NHL has needed this sort of thing badly for a while now. This franchise mode should satisfy those looking to fiddle with ticket prices and work behind the scenes.
For fantasy draft players, the Draft Champions mode (also borrowed from the likes of Madden) gives you the chance to build a team through 12 rounds of drafting. These drafts are themed, so you’ll be picking from the best Canadian players, the brightest young stars, and so on. Once you’ve drafted your team you can challenge players online or take on the computer. I would say that there are a few too many rounds for the choices to feel crucial in these drafts, and maybe limiting it to eight rounds would’ve added more pressure. Still, I do like the idea of making trade-offs while building a team.
Rewards earned in Draft Champions feed into the Hockey Ultimate Team mode, where you can continue to collect player cards and build the best possible fantasy team. The big addition this year is the synergy system, which replaces last year’s chemistry dynamic with bonuses awarded for icing players of similar skill types. Also, you can finally do something with all of those unused cards: trade them in as complete sets. These sets unlock premium rewards, including legend cards for specific teams.
This year’s novelty mode is the World Cup of Hockey, which will take place in Toronto in a couple of weeks. All of the international teams are represented, and the in-game overlays and commentary reflect the event. I’m glad the mode is included, but it likely won’t get too much play beyond the first month of release. It feels a bit gimmicky.
Fans of the EA Sports Hockey League were pretty upset when it didn’t make the cut in NHL 15 — and rightfully so — and EA tried to make up for that in NHL 16 by bringing it back with purpose. In NHL 17 teams have even more ways to play thanks to additional player classes to choose from, such as the jumbo playmaker, hitting sniper, and puck-moving defenseman. These classes add to the pre-existing builds, with the puck-moving defenseman helping the transition game and the jumbo playmaker creating a presence for passing lanes, for example.
As your squad levels up in the EASHL, you’ll gain badges and commendations that recognize your achievements. Even cooler are the arena and jersey customization options that unlock; EA really went all in on this feature, adding custom arena types, scoreboards, plexiglass, railings, stairways, goal music, lighting, and more. The team jerseys have customizable coloring and logos that allow for some distinct designs. I would have liked to see more custom logos, as the options are limited that way, but what’s here is a good start. Player goal celebrations are also unlocked through EASHL progression, so you’ll have a number of new ways to humiliate the other team after putting one in the net. My only worry is that some of these options take quite a while to unlock, so the time commitment might scare off some players.
Online team play also gets a smart little addition, as you and your friends can now group up before entering matches. Being able to pre-select positions and ready up keeps this experience feeling smooth, and more matches are likely to launch. You can also match up with your EASHL squad for some unranked games, which works well when you’re waiting for the whole team to get online.
The action plays smoothly online, as my matches of EASHL, OTP and versus have been clean. There have been reports of the odd freeze for EASHL games, but so far the team I play with hasn’t encountered much of that. A day-one patch has improved some issues I initially had with puck pick-ups, stick-lifts, and poke-checks. I think poke-checks and pick-ups need to be addressed further in a subsequent tuner update, but I’m encouraged with how it’s improved. For my tastes, far-side wristers (and some short-side shots) are far too common against human players, and the action would feel more competitive with those going in at lower frequency.
NHL 17 offers such variety that it’s easy to recommend to many players. The continued focus on accessibility and on-ice training fits the series well, and added depth to the EASHL keeps long-time fans like me coming back. The franchise mode finally gives the GM/owner mode a reason to be played, and even Draft Champions, while a bit simplistic, provides a motivation to interact with the Ultimate Team ecosystem. Most importantly, the hockey presented on the ice is dynamic and fluid, and it serves up an excellent version of the fastest game around.
NHL 17's broad mode variety and added mechanical depth make it a cup contender.
