Be a GM: player morale Being a GM is about more than just getting the best players, it's about getting the right players to play well together. Each player on your NHL and AHL team has a different personality that you will have to manage. Deal with trade demands, teammate relationships, and much more by calling team meetings or adjusting your roster to directly affect your team's on-ice performance. Be a Pro: shape your legacy The way you play dictates the type of player you will become in a Be a Pro progression system. On-ice actions directly influence attributes earned, ensuring that your Pro will reflect the way you play. Sim to your next shift and the ability to work your way up from CHL rookie to an NHL Superstar also make a return in NHL 16. Visual on-ice training This training tool will help sharpen your offensive and defensive skills no matter your talent level. Visual aids project shooting targets, passing lanes, open teammates, and more. Complete control from every position Whether you play as a forward, defenseman or goalie, NHL 16 delivers a balanced gameplay experience that makes every position on the ice meaningful to team success. With gameplay innovation on offense and defense, players have excellent tools to not only score goals, but to prevent them as well. Seamless puck pickups The ability to quickly control a pass or corral a loose puck can be the difference between generating a scoring chance and getting leveled. Great puck pickups result in smoother transitions when receiving the puck no matter what your position, giving you more time and control to make your next move. Control the crease The fate of your team is at your fingertips with great enhanced goalie controls. Precision Skating captures the authentic look and feel of a goaltender's momentum and precise movement as you control them in the crease. When the shots start flying, decide whether to make controlled positional saves or commit to high risk athletic saves that may leave you vulnerable to secondary chances. Unrivaled game day authenticity NHL 16 brings the game to life with distinct arena atmospheres, the most realistic players yet, and a story-driven commentary package to pull you into the energy of the game like never before. Story driven commentary Doc Emrick, Eddie Olczyk, and Ray Ferraro are back and now call the game with even more emotion. Hear Doc's voice rise and fall with the action on the ice and get analysis from Eddie & Ray on the peaks and valleys of a NHL season. An expanded NBC SPORTS broadcast package and pre-game intros brings the drama to life in more ways than ever before. Superstar authenticity Enhanced facial features and equipment details synonymous with the league's top players adds another layer of player authenticity. Use these equipment elements to customize your own created character giving them a unique look, from custom stick tape, colored skate laces, tinted visors, and more. Playoff beards One of the oldest and most iconic traditions in hockey has arrived. With accurate representations of beard patterns, length, thickness, and growth rates for individual players, the road to the Stanley Cup just got hairier.
