![]() ![]() You need to plan every move more thoroughly this time, and yes, the passing system gets plenty of time to get used to. In other words, NHL 22 feels like a hockey game right now and less like an arcade title where nothing else besides scoring a goal matters. And there’s a very good reason for this.ĮA has clearly tried to make NHL 22 feel more real, especially on new-gen consoles, so by reducing the speed of the gameplay alongside the introduction of new tricks, including this passing system, the company actually makes the game overall less arcade-ish. The passing system itself has a major contribution to the whole thing, but I don’t think the slower pace is necessarily a bad thing. The game certainly feels different, and when I say different, it’s because the pace overall is much slower. ![]() The detail that seems to be upsetting most fans of the franchise is the passing system. Now let’s talk about the thing that’s causing so much controversy this year: the gameplay. The new Frostbite engine makes the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions of the game the ones everybody should buy, especially if they’re planning to experience the new NHL in all its beauty. If you’ve never played NHL before but you’re a hockey fan, there’s no doubt you need to get the game on new-gen consoles. While it’s theoretically aimed at Americans and Canadians, it also has fans all over the world, though it goes without saying its player base isn’t necessarily as large as the one of FIFA for obvious reasons.īut NHL is still a franchise that’s selling like hotcakes every year despite all the criticism it sometimes receives, and make no mistake, NHL 22 will be a hit as well even if some players out there aren’t necessarily impressed with EA’s changes. NHL, on the other hand, is an even smaller niche. As I said not a long time ago when I reviewed FIFA 22, sports simulators are a niche that’s going to have millions of fans for as long as the sports themselves are popular.Īnd regardless of the changes developers make to these games, people are still going to buy them every single year, and without a doubt, FIFA is just living proof in this regard. ![]()
