Have always loved the hockey games from EA Sports... even back in the old Sega Genesis days, well NHL 17 has got to be the best one so far, very clean and fine tuned....finally...

I'm playing the world cup as USA, came into this game 2-0, was rusty and just bad the 1st period, but then it turned into one hellof a game...winning 5 to 3.

If you play, I'm looking for fellow players in the co-op, full team mode...on XB1.

I couldnt get past the first period lol very cringe'y

it took me a while to get into the controls... but the 2nd and 3rd periods were pretty exciting. imo

There's a co-op mode? Versus AI? Are there selectable difficulty levels for this?

I think I had NHL 12 and you could co-op verus the AI but there was only one difficulty level and it was hard as hell. My friend and I would get our azzes handed to us by the AI like 6-1.

If so, I'd have to give this strong consideration.

Just picked it up tonight...so count me in once I get a few games under my belt!

I have been playing the series steady since NHL 94 on my SNES with a small hiatus in the mid 2000's.

I like where the series is going and it keeps getting better. I will say that I have pretty much broken two
controllers on NHL 16...the speed burst being assigned to the left "click" on the thumbstick while rotating
it for movement is more than these can take!
