After trying out Hockey Ultimate Team, next up was Online Versus Mode. In online versus mode, you are still playing against someone else online, but you play as preset NHL teams. These teams are accurate as of the end of the playoffs last season, so Matt Carle was on the Lightning’s second line of defense and Cory Conacher was nowhere to be found.
My opponent chose to play as the Calgary Flames while I, of course, laced up as the Tampa Bay Lightning. While the rosters being from the end of last season didn’t hurt me as the Lightning, my opponent still had Jonas Hiller in net and little to no offensive presence other than Sean Monahan.
