Now Electronic Arts is starting early and letting consumers know that this year’s entry in the series, NHL 16, will restore a number of missing modes – as well as upgraded certain aspects of the title.
While there were a number of missing features in the latest game, one of the more missed offerings was undoubtedly EA Sports Hockey League. It shouldn’t come as any surprise then that EA was listening to fans and has put that returning mode at the forefront of its announcement.
Despite being a championed feature of the NHL games, NHL 16 will be debuting a revamped version that’s been fine-tuned with the help of dedicated fans of the series, according to EA.
Accompanying EA Sports Hockey League is the return of 6-on-6 online team play, which was one of the best parts about previous entires. Jumping online with a line’s worth of friends and taking on a group of six others has always been a blast, and that likely won’t change with the mode’s return in the latest iteration of NHL.
Aside from these two modes, EA released a list of all the modes that will be offered in NHL 16:

It’s good to see that Electronic Arts has heard its fans and is ensuring that it makes amends with those that felt scorned by last year’s offering. There’s still much left to see from NHL 16, like actual gameplay, but that will all come in due time. With E3 2015 quickly approaching, fans should finally get their glimpse of the newest entry in the annual series sooner rather than later.
NHL 16 is arriving for PS4 and Xbox One sometime this September.
