NHL 23 - PlayStation 5

EA SPORTS™ NHL® 23 is a testament to unity, bringing together the world’s top players in one formidable lineup. This year, the game breaks new ground by introducing mixed teams in Hockey Ultimate Team (HUT), featuring both women’s and men’s players. This innovative feature allows you to create a diverse and powerful team, showcasing the best talent from around the globe. The game also introduces cross-platform matchmaking for players on the same platform generation in HUT and World of Chel (WOC). This feature, which will be available as a post-launch update, promises to enhance your gaming experience by providing deeper player pools, reducing queue times, and offering a wider variety of teams for your squad to compete against.

NHL 23 takes the excitement to a whole new level with the introduction of over 500 new Last Chance Puck Movement gameplay animations. These animations give you unprecedented control over how a play unfolds after any level of contact is taken. Whether you’re performing passes out of stumbles or taking desperation shots from the ice, these new gameplay elements add a layer of realism and unpredictability to every match.

In addition to these gameplay enhancements, NHL 23 features overhauled strategy systems that make it easier than ever to plan your game and refine your playmaking skills. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or a newcomer to the series, these intuitive systems allow you to develop and execute complex strategies with ease.

But the innovations don’t stop there. NHL 23 is powered by the Frostbite™ engine, which brings new levels of authenticity to the game. The game features gameplay improvements that include over 500 new last chance playmaking animations, living arenas and atmosphere, deep franchise-mode customization.

NHL 23 also introduces X-Factors inspired by cover athletes Trevor Zegras and Sarah Nurse. Trevor Zegras’ “Skilled Up” lets you recreate his viral flip pass over the net, and Sarah Nurse’s “Relentless” increases the player’s ability to shoot and pass while off balance. These unique abilities add another layer of depth and strategy to the game, allowing you to leverage the unique skills of these top players to gain an edge on the ice.

The game also addresses community feedback on passing, poke checking and player speed. These updates make the game more responsive and enjoyable, ensuring that every match is a thrilling and satisfying experience.

So, gather your friends and prepare for the most dynamic, connected, and visually rich Chel experience yet. With its innovative features, enhanced gameplay, and stunning graphics, EA SPORTS™ NHL® 23 offers an immersive and exhilarating hockey experience that brings players closer together and celebrates the spirit of the sport.
