NHL 17 Closed Beta Discussion
I signed up for this and got 3 codes yesterday. I gave the extra ones to JB and snoop.
Anyway, I played one game last night and one game today. I didn't screw with HUT or EASHL because I really couldn't care less about either one. I played Online Versus.
In the game last night, I was up 3-0 as Pittsburgh against Washington with just a couple of minutes left when the douche bag quit (online is so annoying).
Today, I lost 3-2 as Pittsburgh against Tampa.
Both games were pretty fun and there were a variety of penalties. The game is alot more polished than the last full version I played (NHL 15) and this Beta has actually put NHL 17 on my radar even though I'm still thoroughly disgusted that there is no online franchise of any sort any more.
I'm not sure when the Beta ends so JB, snoop, let me know if you want to play a couple games. Of course, if anyone else has the Beta and wants to play, I'm game.

I've played 8 games in Online Versus including 2 against snoop. snoop and I are going to play a couple more tonight.
After we play tonight, I'll try to post some stats. We've been playing 10-minute periods (the options are 4, 5, 10, 15 or 20, I believe) so the numbers are a little inflated (I think 8 minutes would be perfect for user vs user games) but not bad.
The game plays well and is alot of fun. I think the biggest issue I've seen are a couple (literally 2 or 3) wonky moves by the goalies. I'd expect those to be smoothed out at/around release.

Is there any sort of drills or tutorial in the beta or is it just play and learn?
I played one EASHL game this morning and had fun even though the team lost 3-2 in OT.
The create-a-team is pretty cool and has a lot of options as I made the Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks playing around with it. You can't upload your own logos, but there are a lot of preset logo options and the arena choices are in-depth.

I'm not sure if there are drills in the Beta or not. It seems as though I saw something to that effect but it could be my imagination.
I got one more game in with snoop tonight and finally beat his ass. He's always gotten the best of me in NHL. When we played GMC he always won the Cup and always took me out in the playoffs.
On Sunday night he beat me like 5-1 and 6-4 but I came back from a 3-1 deficit to beat him in OT on Monday night, 4-3.
Anyway, I have screen shots of our stats and I'll try to remember to message them to myself next time I get on so that I can post them.
Chris, if you'd like to play a game or two, text me. We can basically scrimmage so you can get some of the mechanics down.

Their NHL team seems so progressive with betas, sliders and tuners. I wish the Madden team did stuff like this.
