NHL 17 now has Draft Champions mode

After the total waste of time that was Hut 17 coins and the solid comeback of last year’s NHL 16, 2017 isn’t a season of significant change for this year’s NHL game. It’s more a season of consolidation and playing it safe. Although there are the minor changes typical of an annual sports franchise, the big ticket changes are sparse. Sparse, but not entirely without merit. In the end NHL 17 is a solid game. It has plenty of modes, a nod to the history of the game, and an excess of heavy hitting, fast action, and skillful teamwork.

Borrowing from the Madden franchise, cheap nhl 17 coins now has Draft Champions mode. A single-player team building option where you choose from four random themes - like world stars, rookies, Stanley Cup winners, or even bearded players. Starting with those you build a team and compete in short tournaments. After your players are assigned you can choose twelve athletes, both current and historic, to add to your line-up. It leads to some interesting choices. You may have to decide if having Patrick Roy in goal is more important than picking Sidney Crosby at center, or if Brett Hull on the right wing is a bigger asset than his father Bobby would be on the left. It’s a fun build option that works well, and gives you control of some of the game’s old-time greats.

Be A GM mode has also borrowed a few ideas from other sports sims. Now called Franchise Mode, you don’t just control the coach and team, you also get to make calls about marketing, stadium maintenance, as well as scouting and trades. Although, you can get different departments to automatically make decisions if you don’t want to obsess over the small details.

You report directly to the team owner, meeting broad KPIs like upgrading the parking lot or hosting six play-off games. Ultimately, you also get to decide if you want to move the team to a new city. Although there are plenty of options, the impact of choices you make is difficult to quantify: you auto-scout players and hire them (or not), or you fix the bathrooms (or don’t). In the end you can always simply stop simulating games and take control of the team to get a couple of late season wins, if you need them to make it to the playoffs Click Here.
