The online beta for NHL 17 that began last week had been scheduled to come to an end today. Predictably though EA Sports has announced it’ll continue through the weekend and come to a close at 10AM PT on Monday. The beta for NHL 16 was extended in the exact same manner.
The extra weekend will provide additional opportunities to collect and act on feedback. Last year EA pushed out a tuning update which addressed issues and provided immediate improvements with the extra days useful in judging those changes. It’s possible that’ll be happening here as well. EASHL, HUT, and H2H are the three online modes featured in the beta.
