Although NHL 17 doesn’t have any nostalgia factor like that of NHL 2004, the game provides a nice twist in an ever evolving Franchise Mode. NHL 2004 also had a great system implemented where owners would lay out expectations. They also provide more incentive to really buying into your franchise (as if there wasn’t a lot already). They keep you striving for goals that stray from the norm of “Cup or bust” mentality. The expectations aspect really seems interesting. The higher the difficulty, the more challenging certain situations become, such as stiffer trade negotiations and harder owner expectations. Altering the difficulty settings also changes the way the overall game mode works. However, with more success comes different scenarios as owners anticipate varying expectations. Players now must make roster decisions, set ticket prices, and even market their team. Previously titled “Be A GM”, franchise mode has rebranded into a more in-depth and detailed game mode. With NHL 17 set to release next week, I had the chance to discuss some of the new advances and changes to the hockey video game franchise with EA Sports Producer Clement Kwong.
