Firstly I will say it is still my favourite video game and I am going to sink a lot of hours into it over the hockey season. That said though, I am disappointed the game has not changed in 2 years and the same fluke goals still go in.
I also cannot stand the user interface which is making Be a GM mode a chore. I played a bit of FIFA 15 last year and have to say it was one of the best sports games ever made. The simple interface and fun game play turned me from a Soccer skeptic to someone who now understands and follows the Champions League. The NHL 16 interface has the opposite effect, it has the potential to change a huge hockey fan into someone who is extremely frustrated by hockey.

I think this may have been posted here, but it's a good enough read to check out if you missed it. It touches on the reactions of super fans when they get invited into the development process. One thing that stuck out to me was that somebody noted how surprisingly small the team is. What we see as obvious annoyances are probably on their radar, but they don't exactly have FIFA levels of hands-on-deck.
