The NHL franchise by EA Sports has been around for 24 years and has gone through numerous changes, some good, some bad. Last year's NHL title was critiqued heavily due to the lack of various game modes as it went "back to basic." This year's iteration of the franchise title is without a doubt, the best in many years. With snappy controls, fantastic commentary, gorgeous graphics and a plethora of easy-to-use modes, NHL 16 will be a tough title to beat come next year's Silver Anniversary (25th anniversary) title.
