Thoroughly disappointed in NHL 2016. I don't play HUT or Be a Pro. I mostly play online versus with friends. I can't really see any improvement from 2015. If it's wasn't for the roster changes and the mascots banging on the glass, I really would have no clue I was playing the newer version. In fact the game actually seems a little slower than 2015. You lose the puck constantly for no good reason, hitting is far too simple, and when you combine that with the poke checking you get a game that is almost unplayable among two people who are good players. Basically first guy to miss a poke check loses, or neither missed a poke check and some garbage goal on an easy shot from a bad angle ends it in OT despite the goalie making 30 ridiculous saves before that.
That's like buying a Jeep because this years crop of Ferraris are good.
