This seems to be a huge issue. 90% of the complaints I hear can be fixed with sliders, but online players don't get the luxury of using them.

Fair point about the tuner... Unfortunately.

That said, I'm glad EA actually listened to some of the things the fans wanted.

All the changes to EASHL though, I feel were for worse..

Pretty pumped to open my HUT returning packs tonight. Hopefully I can get some decent pulls. COME ON JOHNNY HOCKEY AND MONAHAN! Bring on the boosts

My Amazon preorder shipped this afternoon. Should be here Monday, or Tuesday at the latest.

Does the progress and HUT team you create in the trial version move over to the retail version? I'm assuming it's just a save file and any version of the game would be able to read it.

Went back and played a bit of NHL 15 today. Outside of the on ice game it is in such a laughable state.

I started playoff mode and have a tight series against the Avs going, game 4 heading into over time to tie the series --- and it goes to 4 on 4 OT with shootout, in the playoffs. Even with settings set at continuous OT.

For those buying NHL 16 I really hope they fixed that kind of crap.

I hope I don't have to change the line strategies to my preference before every...single...game.

As much as I whine about the series, I always buy it and play it right up to the release of the following year's iteration.

In my returning bonus I drew Gaudreau, Giordano and Bennett. Monahan is going for 36k right now... Can't wait til release so the market drops a bit.

I try to bitch and whine as little as possible, but NHL 15 really soured me. BaP was really broken and is pretty much the only mode I play. I'm going to wait a little while before buying it and I'll come here first to ask a whole bunch of questions.

If it helps I have a buddy who was playing through Ea Access and he said the BAP is alot better now, said you can't dominate (or maybe just him) with low stats and that he was really happy with BaP.

From the looks of the pre-release stuff, the BaP looked to be the one mode that really stood out to me.

To me it looks like they have taken the advancements of game-play from the next gen consoles and combined it with the full modes from previous years.

If the modes are complete, and the gameplay refinements are as early access customers are suggesting, this just could be the best version they have put out since 2004.

My biggest gripes have concerned AI and player progression, so I guess we'll see.

I was originally going to wait for a sale, but my plan to buy the new iPhone has fallen through, so I'm currently staring at the countdown clock on my preorder. The ability to buy games and pre-load them is just the best.

Woohoo! My copy showed up in the mail today!

Anybody have any idea what the best buy promo code is for? Got an email saying I can redeem a code. I'll give it to a CPer if it's nothing I'll use.

Ultimate edition? If so you get 2 packs a week for a while. IF you have multiple xbox accounts you can get 2 packs per week on every account.

I think getting a disc in the mail before release date is better than preloading a digital copy.

And mine showed up today. Can't wait to try it out!

So EB games in crossiron called me and said I could pick up my pre order
at 10pm. Has anybody gone to the "midnight releases" ? Are they busy? I'd go if I won't be waiting for a long time but I can wait till tomorrow too.
