No, there won’t be a defensive skill stick for this year. We have focused both on the new mechanics for Net Battles and Defensive AI assignments away from the puck to tighten up coverage against players parked in front of the net or on the weak side. Great to hear! We are also excited for everyone to get their hands on the new game. Thank you again for everything your team does, I look forward to the new enhancements coming this year! Will there be an enhancement with the AI to stop a better number of cross ice passes? given of course their stats warrant good defensive behavior. I know cross-ice passes work in the NHL, but this past year it seemed a little on the ridiculous side within the NHL 16 series. That said, if I had to pick one thing, aside from gameplay, the amount of customization options that we’ve added this year is probably the thing that I’m most excited about. Seeing all of the individual features that started off as designs on paper and come to life the way that they have is what really excites me. In my role, I’m actually most excited about the complete package that we’re delivering. What are you most excited for about NHL 17?
With net battles and extended stick lifts, you are given tools to tie up a player in front of the net so that you can take the goal side position and move them out from screening your goalie, tie up their stick, or simply just get in the way of them making a play. Last year, there was a big focus on getting defensive deflections and interceptions right but this year, we really wanted to focus on that close defending of a player. When we looked at one of the main issues for defenders it was the ability to tightly mark a player in front of the net or on the weak side. They also know to stay tighter to their posts when the puck is down low and passes and shots are coming in tight to the net.Ĭan you talk about crease battles and cross crease goals from last year? In adding new blocking saves, the goalies save mechanics have been updated as well, so goalies will move their body into shots rather than making a limb based save which ultimately made them more vulnerable to be beat. Will new Goalie AI accompany the new animations? You will also notice that you can step out and accelerate in a new direction like you can from a stop at speeds that makes it physically possible, rather than having to take a longer pivot out to convert your momentum like you do at high speeds. We also worked a lot on facing angles and the control you have on defense to angle puck carriers, specifically looking at the angles and speeds you can take cross overs at before having to rotate your hips. We looked at responsiveness in pivots, ability to interrupt a pivot when it physically makes sense, ensuring that proper momentum and acceleration is consistent across all turning (deking, protecting the puck, etc.) which makes the puck carrier’s agility more realistic. Skating has been improved in a lot of ways.
