Showcased in the video above is NHL 16‘s Be a Pro mode, the all-new progression system that will influence the type of player we will become in the game.
Players’ on-ice actions will determine what attributes they earn and what type of player they’ll grow into. Be a Pro mode comes with off-ice training that will require players to manage their limited weekly workout time effectively in order to build their characters’ skills. The mode also comes with visual on-ice training, which is an adaptive training tool designed to help players of all skill levels. EA’s description of the mode states:
If you want to become a bruising power forward like Milan Lucic, focus on finishing your checks and getting into the occasional scrap. If you want to develop into a skill player like Claude Giroux or Tyler Seguin, then focus on finesse and stick handling to evolve in those areas.
