I think that's why I'm going to pass again this year. Maybe pick it up on the cheap after Christmas.
I just find most sports games don't change all that much year to year. The dev cycle is too short and the Suits want too many back-of-the-box additions, so gameplay usually only gets minor, subtle upgrades.

I'm going to wait for NHL17. Maybe the differences between 15>17 will be large enough that I'll really notice a difference.

All told, I'm probably going to go outside the box and get something completely different like PES or NBA Live.

Most of the sports games I adored are out of business now; Fight Night, NHL2K, MLB2K.... I wish I had some of that back.
