KEY FEATURES
- New ways to compete as a Team: Online team mode has been reimagined and lets you choose specialized player classes to deliver a balanced competitive experience on the ice. Or you can choose 6 v 6 play online with up to twelve skaters including user controlled goalies. Or for the perfect way to play when you and your friends want to play some drop-in hockey, co-op mode makes it easy.
- A way to play for every hockey fan: Play as a GM, a Pro or Single player seasons with improved player management. Whether you’re new to the NHL series and looking for pointers or are a grizzled veteran trying to perfect your game, this new training tool will help sharpen your offensive and defensive skills no matter your talent level.
- Complete control from every position: Utilise a new skating tool that allows you to make refined movements with your skater in any situation. New puck pickups result in smoother transitions when receiving the puck no matter what your position, giving you more time and control to make your next move.
- Unrivalled Game day authenticity: Enhanced facial features and new equipment details synonymous with the league’s top players adds another layer of player authenticity. Use these new equipment elements to customse your own created character giving them a unique look, from custom stick tape, coloured skate laces, tinted visors, and more. Arena authenticity gets even better with the inclusion of authentic arena effects and props including team specific celebrations, mascots, chants, and even signature props like the Lighthouse at the Xcel Energy Center in Minnesota.
