HUT Rivals has been a staple for online multiplayer gamers of NHL games across many years now. It’s been a great addition to showcase the skill of star players, but I think it’s great that I couldn’t abuse these skills once I got them from Player Card Packs in Hockey Ultimate Team (HUT). ![]() “ NHL 22 offers a lot with this iteration that can be overwhelming for new players…”Īnother example is Connor McDavid’s signature stick-handling skills in real-life with the puck, so his special ability in the game helps him with a slight edge to deke out his opponents when he’s in possession of the puck - called “Wheels”. The game calls this X-Factor superstar ability, “Shock and Awe”. This could be like how Auston Matthews is good at shooting after deking out players. Essentially, certain hockey players are regarded highly both in the game and in real-life for their special abilities based on their real performances in matches. One of the biggest changes, or rather upgrades with the Frostbite engine is the new X-Factor animations. I just want to pass tape-to-tape fluidly! NHL 22 If there was a defender’s stick in the way I could forgive this, but it always seems to happen that my directional stick is not fully facing left or right and has too much of a downward position. The only thing I don’t like about the stick controls right now is that the direction I’m aiming is a little too unforgiving because I keep trying to pass the puck between my defensemen and about eight times out of ten, they fire the pass back into my side of the rink. This was easily unrealistic in previous games. I noticed this immediately when I go for a poke check behind the opponent player, it’s easily to trip them and get a penalty. I can definitely tell the work on improving the likeness of the real-life version of hockey players to the in-game version has been improved ― of course, it still feels like their faces are a little too flat and hasn’t reached the level of animation like seeing the wrinkles and pores of Thanos in the Avengersfilms.įrostbite also brings more accurate hockey stick controls with faceoffs and poke checks. The dynamic camera angles from behind the glass when faceoffs setup are great as it makes me feel like I’m watching a real match. From my comparison to back in 2017, I can definitely see how the new engine adds more vibrancy to the colours and textures of jerseys, every stroke and smoke of the skates are captured on the ice in-between periods. NHL 22 boasts about their new engine, Frostbite, that has revamped the way players look and the environment. A fitting player for someone who’s had rising superstar fame with the Toronto Maple Leafs since joining the team in 2016 - despite the team, sadly, not being able to win a Stanley Cup in recent decades. One of the biggest highlights of this year’s NHL game is that Toronto Maple Leafs’ Auston Matthews is the star player on the cover. EA continues bringing modes that are either deliver slapstick comedy or the camera production is over-the-top (in a strangely good way). I haven’t played one of these hockey games since probably NHL 16 or 18. And with hockey on TV, I couldn’t help but be more interested in playing NHL 22. Games, Konami, Nintendo, and Xbox with Bethesda in tow, there's a notable repeated absence from the list as Sony bows out once again.He shoots, he scores!
