I have always enjoyed the EA Sports NHL games. I purchased this game for PS4 and enjoy it as usual. As a Blues fan and as an NHL fan having Tarasenko on the cover for 2017 made this game a must have as a fan. Go Blues!

As a sports fan, I like to play a lot of different games. I found that this game was a good mix between realism and action. As with most EA games, there are a lot of other things that you can do with the game but I just want to get into the action to play. Overall, pretty good.

Our son loves this game! He said it has great graphics and he loves that he can find his local hockey team on the game. He likes that it has many choices for teams and all the other options that this version brings!

The game is fast and very realistic. The players use their body motions that they would in a real game. Most all the players are rated about were they should be. I would recommend this game to hockey or any sports fan.

These NHL games keep getting better and better. I have never been disappointed. I was a little skeptical since NHL 18 should be out in October, but with my Gamer's Club discount I only got it for $31!!!

I'm a dedicated EASHL player and this year's game reinvigorated my excitement for the mode. I buy every year, but I'm enjoying this year's version very much. Defensive improvements are another nice touch.

I'm new to hockey and so this game is a great way to start getting familiar with the sport and its players. Overall has great graphics, and good game play control. It has different features and like the team concept when playing online. Good game and I recommend

I skipped purchasing this title last year due to frustrations with 15.
Happy with the game and enjoying the variety of game modes. The down fall is the players make unusually, awkward movements at times. Game play could be faster. Happy with the purchase.

I haven't been a huge fan of sports games until I purchased this game. The graphics are superior and the gameplay is amazing. With the added ability to play in the World Cup makes this a game to buy.

I love this game. Probably the best sports video game out right now. Even if you're not a hockey nut it's fun to play. There are many great game modes but EASHL with your buddies is my favorite.

I'm not a gamer, but bought this for my 9 y grandson....we had a great time as he taught me "how" to play this. So realistic, like watching a real game that you get to "participate" in.

Franchise mode is awesome. The AI gameplay tweaks have done the trick. Career mode and create a team are huge, detailed features. This game is as close to perfect as you can come.

It's been awhile since I owned a hockey game so I was quite happy that the old NHL 94 controls were available. It is a ton of fun and now my 3 year old son loves hockey so it's a win-win.

Very realistic hockey game. Have not played for many years and picked this up on sale. Entertaining and fun. PS4 Pro runs this without hesitation. Very happy with my purchase.
