We got a chance to play the game early and talk to one its makers.
I'm old. I played NHL 94. In 1993. It was on the Sega Genesis in a second floor dorm room in all male Dobson Hall on the campus of Northeast Missouri State University. Times change. Dobson is co-ed (and coincidentally smells a lot better), Northeast is now Truman State. And the Sega Genesis makes a good doorstop compared to what the PS4 and Xbox One can now do.
Next month, EA Sports' NHL 17 will hit store shelves and be available for download.
