It’s about that time of the year when EA Sports releases their annual NHL game. It is also time for the real NHL season to start getting underway! After going out and purchasing NHL 18, I wanted to see how EA Sports would simulate the New York Rangers 2017-2018 season.

It’s fun being able to take control of the New York Rangers front office in the NHL video games. Controlling revenues at Madison Square Garden (Going to turn MSG into Mercedes-Benz Stadium with those cheap concession prices!).

With video games. I am usually one to play online against other players, but an idea came to me which I thought would be fun. I turned on NHL 18 for the first time and decided to simulate a full season. Hitting random to play as the Florida Panthers so the Rangers could make trades as a CPU without it needing approval. It was time to grab popcorn and sit back and enjoyed the show. The season was all in the computer’s hands.
