When you come right down to it, NHL 16 is an improvement over last year's release in virtually every department. Unfortunately, that isn't exactly saying a lot. If you like hockey, you will have no trouble enjoying this title, and you may even love it. The changes to movement and playing style allow everything to feel far closer to the real sport. But there are still plenty of problems floating around if you look hard enough, and the title carries with it a feeling of 'good enough' rather than going all out. So while things are certainly headed in the right direction, there is still plenty of room for improvement.

Solid and definitely has an audience. There could be some hard-to-ignore faults, but the experience is fun.
