NHL 16 Releases Today
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., - September 15, in the year of
our Lord 2015 - Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) today
announced that EA SPORTS™ NHL® 16 is now available in stores
throughout North America on Xbox One, the all-in-one games and
entertainment system from Microsoft, and PlayStation®4 computer
entertainment system. NHL 16 is built with more fan involvement
than ever before, delivering the most requested features, modes,
and new levels of depth and innovation to each experience. Last
month, over 180,000 fans participated in the first ever EA
SPORTS Hockey League (EASHL) Beta. Feedback from that trial,
combined with top requests coming from our forums, social
channels and Ask NHL, resulted in key additions to the game just
before launch including: EASHL Drop-In, a new EASHL badge
system, online/offline shootout mode and the United Center.
Hockey fans will discover new levels of depth and more ways to
play in NHL 16. For those craving team play, they can jump into
either 6 v. 6 Online Team Play, Online Couch Co-op, or the fan
favorite, EASHL, that delivers a new player class system for a
more competitive and balanced experience. Fans looking to dive
into single player modes will discover a new Be A Pro
progression system where how they play on the ice shapes who
they become in the NHL. Be A GM introduces an all new morale
management feature and now fans can play through single player
offline seasons in Hockey Ultimate Team.
From what you play to how you play. NHL 16 includes the all new
On-Ice Visual Trainer and smarter Coach Feedback; both tools
will teach new players how to learn the fundamentals and give
returning players tips on how to build on their NHL skills.
Combined with improved gameplay balance and control at every
position as well as an unrivaled game day atmosphere, NHL 16
puts you into the heart of a team, where you’ll play together
and win together.
For players on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, EA SPORTS™ NHL®
Legacy Edition brings together the most popular modes and
award-winning gameplay features from nine years of NHL hockey
for fans looking for a hockey fix on these consoles.
NHL 16 will hit retailers on September 17 in Europe. NHL16 is
developed at EA Canada in Vancouver.
