Electronic Arts has announced new details for NHL 16, the annual hockey sports title.

Fans who pre-order the game will receive up to $15 worth of Hockey Ultimate Team content. Gamers can also start their hockey experience with the NHL 16 Deluxe Edition that comes with up to $50 added value of Hockey Ultimate Team content.

NHL 15 owners will receive 10 HUT packs if they pre-order or purchase NHL 16 through direct digital download on the Microsoft Marketplace or PlayStation Store when the offers are available.

NHL 16 introduces new levels of depth for hockey fans. Gamers who crave team experiences can jump into either 6 v. 6 Online Team Play, Online Couch Co-op, or the returning EA SPORTS Hockey League, that’s been reimagined to deliver a new player class system for a more competitive and balanced experience.

With new gameplay mechanics on offense and defense, players have new tools to not only score goals, but to prevent them as well. Precision Skating makes refined movements possible in any situation and Seamless Puck Pickups allow the ability to quickly control a pass or corral a loose puck. NHL 16 also introduces the all new On-Ice Visual Trainer and smarter Coach Feedback; both tools will teach new players how to learn the fundamentals and give returning players tips on how to build on their NHL skills.

NHL 16 will be released for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on September 15, 2015. A version of the game will also be available on Xbox 360 and PS3.
