Despite the game is missing significant features, I still fell in love with EA Sports' NHL 17. A revamped commentary and presentation makes the game unique all its own. Gone are the days of recycled Gary Thorne and Bill Clement commentary. Now it's the NBC tandem of Mike Doc Emrick and Eddie Olczyk. Between the glass is TSN's Ray Ferraro, providing ice-level insight to Fifa 17 Coins PS4 the game. If you must play a new hockey game this year, the last-gen versions of the game NHL 17 PS3 and NHL 17 Xbox 360 fares better, as all of the modes excluded from the PS4/Xbox One versions of the game are included.
Although you won't have the impressive presentation age, the fact the new physics system, and all of the missing modes have been included make it a better choice. With only marginal improvements since NHL 17, you'd be better of dusting it off your shelf or finding a cheaper copy online.Yes, we expected ton from this game. But how couldn't you when it's the middle of July and you see a trailer such as this one? In all honesty, the first release on the newest generation of console is always far from smooth. I am hopeful that the gameplay will be ameliorated over the next year or two for this reason. However, tons of missing game modes, such as EASHL, have players up in arms and even caused them to stay away from purchasing the game.
Though season-long title updates hopefully will provide enough of a fix, many people have instead chosen to wait and place their bets on NHL 16. Before I end, I'll share one personal unmet expectation. The EA team did a great job with their Authentic Arenas project, but the goal horns are still horrible. In NHL 17 world, Chicago and Winnipeg apparently have New Jersey's goal horn.Overall NHL 17 is a visual masterpiece let down by a disappointingly limited single-player and repetitive commentary. If longevity is what you're after consider the last-gen versions in Fifa 17 Coins XBOX One contrast if you want a fun way to pass time or impress your friends with your new TV - NHL 17 is the one to beat.
