I always push up+r1 to set the breakout to "stay wide". Doesnt help when passing is counter intuitive. Ill try this once more hopefully i dont lose and have my blood pressure skyrocket

When you start the game push down on the d pad and hit l1 and r1, or whatever it is on xbox, I use leave zone early and stay wide. You need to do it in game every time, it is impossible for me to play without changing breakout.

Yeah I normally go three high and stay wide. Gonna have to try leave zone early, my way has been really effective though.

I go for the cross crease, Or go from behind the net to the front and shoot corner.

Still haven't got the game yet. Maybe on Black friday. Im wondering if i can still get those goals. Probably not the cross crease

I would recommend spending your money on star wars battlefront or rainbow six seige. If you have ps4 or xbox one, nhl15 is just as good/better

Eh idk about Seige. That game im def getting on deal, Doubt it's worth 60

I am getting battlefront, Fallout 4. and Halo 5 as well. NHL 15 just falls beneath shooters. OTP/EASHL is fun, but it kinda gets dull after a while for me. Maybe this game changes that, but i perfer shooters more.

Rainbow six vegas was so out cold though ive yet to experience a shooter that delivers as much thrill and satisfaction as that game did. The calypso casino days. Good times indeed.

Maybe im just chasing the dragon though, maybe i just miss the camraderie of me n my boys systematically owning other teams in embarassing ways. Ive been deprived of rainbow six for years

2k games were and are the best, too bad they stopped making them. They were like the nhl 2001 games

2K did a good job trying to bring more simulation elements to the game while the EA NHL series was enamored with massive hits every 5 seconds. I remember sending massive guys flying across the ice with Mike Modano and shaking my head.

That was the best part about it.

Still on the fence about purchasing this one or not. Bought last years and was really dissapointed in the lack of features compared to previous years on older consoles.

Did they add the 3 stars of the game yet to this one?

That is a joke. NHL16 is fantastic and NHL15 has one mode for the most part. People complain about passing because they can't pass or have the patience to actually open passing lanes and they can't skate through everyone and glitch the goalie.

Not really a joke. 5000 people like shooters over sports games, and then you get the 1 or a couple that like the sports games. I enjoy the sport games especially nhl. Theres just not that much content in it for me unless im playing gm mode. if GM mode didn't exist. Id probably still be playing my nhl 2001 game for my hockey fix :laugh:

Look, if we're going to debate which game you should get instead of NHL 16, it needs to be Fallout 4.

retweet

Im gonna cry if that game actually takes 400+ hours to almost 100% it.

I played skyrim for over 100 hours and it felt like forever

So my 5 star 20 year old goalie prospect at 90 overall aged 7 years in one off-season in my Be-A-GM mode. This along with the fact that Be A Pro is still fairly mediocre, Morale is just Pick the Second Option every time, and theres no GM Connected, I actually think this release is worse than 15.

At least in 15 I knew where it stood, and the background it has. Its actually DISGUSTINGLY embarrasing how little effort they put into the new "features" and how little they must have tested it to have these sort of bugs come up. They honestly should sack the lot of them and I wont be purchasing NHL17 because of this.

Such a shame.
