It was only a matter of time that we got a new list of features for NHL 17 as EA most likely doesn’t want to spend a ton of time on their sports games. NHL 17 will be featuring some fan favorite modes and some new modes that fans including me have been wanting for a long time.
Live out your hockey fantasy in all-new Draft Champions and World Cup of Hockey game modes, own every zone with authentic goaltenders, new Net Battles on offense and defense, and bone-crushing Collision Physics.
Here is a list of some of the new modes coming to NHL 17:
World Cup of Hockey
For the first time in EA SPORTS NHL history, play for national pride in a full International Tournament Mode. Featuring all of the official World Cup of Hockey teams, players and uniforms, take to the ice on a world stage as your national team and heroes.
Draft Champions
The new Draft Champions mode introduces the thrill of the fantasy draft with fast rounds of superstar picks. Each round challenges managers to choose the best players to build a balanced team. Immediately following your draft, take to the ice and fulfill your team’s potential by winning the Draft Championship. This seems to be an interesting new mode, it will be fun to see fans reaction to something like this. I like EA’s decision there.
Franchise Mode
Fan-favorite Be a GM mode expands to complete control of an entire franchise with the addition of unique team owners. Control your favorite team and lead them to Stanley Cup glory by managing the team and the business behind the scenes. Make game-changing decisions from player personnel, ticket prices, marketing, arena upgrades, and even relocation – all from under the watchful eye of a demanding owner with challenging goals. This has been something I was wanting for a very long time.
