Today, Electronic Arts announced that EA SPORTSTM NHL® 16 will

EA SPORTS NHL. “We listened to their feedback and have been
testing early iterations of the mode with some of the most
passionate players in our community. We’re incredibly excited
that our fans are going to be the first to get their hands on
this mode and look forward to hearing more feedback as we
continue to improve and refine this experience.”

PlayStation 4 can jump into the game starting July 30 and select
