<p>EA Sports&#8217; <a href="http://ift.tt/28Pu0cH">NHL 17</a> isn&#8217;t scheduled to come out until September 13, but it&#8217;s playable now on<a href="http://ift.tt/1gvajmS"> Xbox One</a> for some. A trial version of the professional hockey game was added to the Xbox One&#8217;s EA Access catalog today, allowing subscribers to play the full game as much as they want for a set period of time. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s not immediately clear how many hours the NHL 17&#8217;s early play period runs for, but if history is any indication, it should be between 6 and 10. EA Access subscribers can grab NHL 17&#8217;s trial version starting today, September 8, from the EA Access hub on Xbox One. </p>
<p>A version of EA Access called Origin Access is available on <a href="http://ift.tt/1e8dJIN">PC</a>, but NHL 17 is only available on console. Additionally, <a href="http://ift.tt/1lXIW8W">PS4 </a>players are left out because EA Access is not offered on that console.</p>
<p>Though NHL 17 isn&#8217;t out until next week, reviews for the game have started to come online. <a href="http://ift.tt/2bVG68j">GameSpot&#8217;s NHL 17 review</a> scored the game a 7/10.</p>
<p>&quot;NHL 17 is a great game of hockey, but unlike last year, there isn&#8217;t a standout mode or feature that makes this game substantially better than its predecessor,&quot; reviewer Mat Paget said. &quot;It rides off a lot of what <a href="http://ift.tt/1L6MwYX">NHL 16</a> did, and the new additions don&#8217;t add anything crucial to the experience. It&#8217;s still a lot of fun to trade players in Franchise, build a formidable roster in Hockey Ultimate Team, and actually play matches, but if you were hoping NHL 17 would be a significant step forward for the series, you&#8217;re out of luck.&quot;</p>
