Stuck at "checking" screen - NHL 16

[shadowseth86]

My game will load past the title scren but stops at the "checking" screen. It has done this for the last week. Anyone know what's going on? I can't play my game!

I know it has obviously been resolved by now, but for those who search the same thing in the future:

I searched for this exact thing tonight because it happened to me on NHL 17 for 3 days straight. I know no one answered you in this thread, but someone answered this same question regarding a 'freeze in NHL 15" at the "checking" screen.

I know it sounds odd, but I literally just unplugged my xbox and re-plugged it back in. [because someone mentioned doing this in the NHL 15 thread]

For those who experience the same problem I will make it easier to find in a search engine: "NHL 17 won't load past checking screen"

Hope that helps someone.
