About this product

Product Information

EA's annual hockey series returns to the ice with different ways to play, major additions to existing modes, and more authentic goaltending in NHL 17. Gamers can take part in the World Cup of Hockey tournament for the first time, form the best teams possible with the fantasy style Draft Champions mode, or play with any of the 27 authentic ECHL teams. Players can also try their hand at being a general manager in the Franchise mode, and creative types can now design their own arenas. The EA Sports Hockey League team mode returns with more customization options, while the Be a Pro mode features career-defining moments, and the card-collecting Hockey Ultimate Team mode introduces the team-building HUT Synergy system. Gameplay adjustments include improved passing, more responsive skating and stopping, enhanced hit mechanics, and net battles, while goalies have improved positional awareness to make athletic or technical saves.

For my autistic son
My 26 year old son has been wanting this thing for weeks and when it came it only took him five minutes to get his PS3 unhooked and the PS4 in it's place. He was in "PS Heaven" within minutes after that playing his NHL17 hockey game since he loves hockey (the Predators particularly since we live in Nashville.) But this thing has been awesome, and he says the graphics are definitely an upgrade over his old system.

Career mode is lame
Its hard to change teams ones youve been drafted. A trade is highly unlikely until towards the end of the career. Also there is no all star game in career mode. Day to day games is fun, face paced, and the graphics are good

Fun and challenging hockey game
Lots of various modes and teams. Fun to play as a minor league or a team from the World Cup. If you haven't played a hockey game in a while I recommend picking this up.
