Everything that is extra over real televised hockey completely ruins it for me because it messes with my eyes and I can't focus, hopefully they can be turned off.

I can't confirm, but I'm fairly certain I read an interview a while back that said that you could

Do they normally bundle this game with a machine when it comes out?

I'm finally going to shoot the puck (no pun intended) and buy a PS4, but I don't need/want it until the new hockey comes out. I figure I could probably save a few bucks and buy them together if that's a thing they do every year, but I have no idea.

Not officially, but I think Best Buy or EB usually has some sort of deal where if you buy a system you can get hockey for free. Somebody will have to confirm as I could be making all this up.

I have never seen it bundled with the console by Sony, as NHL probably isn't a large enough seller to justify it. I do seem to recall it being a part of bundle at Best Buy that included an extra controller and some extended warranty though. Probably not worth it.

I would assume that EA is fairly strict about the price of the game for the first month.

The PS4 had an official bundle for NHL 15 that also came with LittleBigPlanet 3 but there's no guarantee there will be one for NHL 16.

Last year the big box stores had a promotion where you could buy a PS4 or Xbox One and get your selection of a free game. It just happened to coincide with the release of both Destiny and NHL 15.

I made the wrong choice...

Let's hope that means they worked on everything else this year, as it all pretty much sucked.

I really wish they would spend more time on core game modes and game play than waste time with playoff beards and mascots...

It's completely different departments with completely different budgets. One isn't taking resources away from the other.

Well... then both should be fired...


That said, when does pre-order close for NHL 16? Im away for a bit and want to hit EB in my home area when I return.


EDIT: Anyone looking at starting a XBONE CP Fata's Club for EASHL?

You still need engineering work to create their 'beard engine' or whatever is powering it. So yes, it would take resources away.

I really feel as though EA should throw one or even two elite players fto those who purchased '15 and played HUT. The returning player rewards are decent but all those packs are useless people draw a elite franchise player in the bonus packs.

You know... Reward loyalty?!?

Make as many xbox profiles as possible, log in on each one to get your 2 packs. Profit.
