There is a much larger gap between the stars of the league and the VandeVeldes of the league.
Gone are the days of seemingly endless 84-86 overall players. The change to the ratings system in NHL breathes new air into Franchise mode. This is something the community has been asking for seemingly since NHL 14 and it’s good to see EA listen to its users. You can now give contract extensions during the season, not just after the draft as in the previous games. While there is little difference from last year, two key changes brings some added life into the mode. I love taking our Flyers and seeing if I can make them a championship contender year in and year out. Kyle: Be a GM/Franchise/Owner mode, or whatever EA wants to call it now, has been essentially my favorite game mode since I got into the NHL series.
And as for the contracts, all it takes is one click in Madden to refill player contracts, this is something needed in HUT. In HUT, you have to manually sub in a new player you just pulled, or won from the auction house. In Madden, you can generate best lineup and automatically it’ll make your team the highest overall it could be. My main complaint with HUT is how the contracts system and lineup managing works. But putting in a silver player with average stats and the right synergies could do wonders for your lineup Does that mean you’ll be touting an all silver/bronze lineup? Not unless you’re willing to die by speed every game. The addition of two synergies to silver tier players and three for bronze is useful since the boost cards were removed from the series. Overall, in my first two weeks of playing HUT, I’ve been impressed. The daily bonus also saw an increase which is always good to see for players who don’t have the money to buy packs. HUT sees little change from last year, save for the addition of solo challenges, which helps the $60 player. Kyle: As more of an EASHL/GM Mode kind of NHL player, this is my first year really making an effort in EA’s favorite game mode, Hockey Ultimate Team. NHL Threes is “The all-new arcade-inspired hockey experience features faster ice, bigger hits and high-scoring action that's easy to pick-up-and-play,” according to EA. Let’s jump right into the meat and potatoes of it all, the game modes! Each game mode from NHL 17 returns, with the sole new mode being NHL Threes. Its a small graphic thing, but has been in the game for years. A small nitpick, but when a player is along the boards his stick clips through them.The “Hockey Canada Training Camp” is a wonderful idea also woo we got official Hockey Canada jerseys!.Wayne Simmonds is still listed as a two-way forward.Player ratings have been vastly improved: star players are now actually above and beyond the rest of the players in the game - not 3 overall points away.A loading bar! It’s a simple thing that has been in video games for years, but being able to see how much the game has loaded is nice.
In past installments, the menus have been hard to navigate as well as being insanely slow.
