NHL16 Legacy

Serves seem to be unavailable for NHL16 Legacy GM connected (PS3). I'm wondering when the server will be operational again?

    Those servers were supposed to be sunset a couple of years ago. It looks like they're still up though. Have you tried playing today?

    Hi there, @ShowtimeTurgeon.

    Unfortunately, the NHL 16 servers have been sunset. We don't have any plans to bring them back online.

  • Hi @EA_Aljo ,

    Thank you for your response. Are you referring to NHL16 or NHL16 Legacy Edition? I ask because the servers were unavailable a month ago, maybe more, and someone from our community spoke with an EA rep who mentioned the servers were sunset as well. But we have been playing up until yesterday, May 27th.

  • Hello - we have still been able to play GM Connected leagues on NHL Legacy on Xbox 360, but just recently the servers seem to have changed and we can no longer create a new League or change settings on an existing league.  Just a month ago we were able to make these changes to the GM Connected league settings - can this please be fixed?

    Hi there, @downshteevrn.

    What happens when you try to make changes or create a new league? Thanks!

  • Wow thank you for responding so quickly!

    I just get a message that says "This server is not available."  We can still play games and advance the schedule in the league, we just can't change settings like Difficulty - making any change in the settings and then pressing A to advance results in a short delay and then the "server is not available" error message.

    Have you always been able to change the difficulty? Unfortunately, I was never a fan of GMC so I'm not aware of what options are available once the league is created. You also said you can't create a new league, right?

  • Yes - we could change the difficulty or other league settings before.  We could also create new leagues.  We were able to do both most recently just a couple of months ago.  Based on a number of threads on reddit, it seems like this inability to create/edit GM Connected leagues is a recent problem people have surfaced over the past couple of weeks.  See these:
