NHL 18 is another installment in the sports game series developed by EA Sports – a division of Electronic Arts. The gameplay revolves around the same mechanics as the previous installments, trying to faithfully represent ice hockey games; however, the developers implemented some major changes. One of them is the Defensive Skill Stick system, ensuring better control over a player and the hockey stick during defensive maneuvers.

The PS4 and XONE release of NHL 18 is another installment in the hockey game series developed by Electronic Arts. The game allows players to control all the teams from the most renowned world league and play both single and multiplayer game modes. Like every year, the developers have taken care to improve the visuals and expand the already known game formula.

Mechanics

In comparison to its predecessor, NHL 18 does not offer any groundbreaking changes to the formula, however, that doesn’t mean the developers didn’t change anything at all. The game features a number of gameplay improvements, making it more like a simulation. For example, while playing defense, one can make use of the Defensive Skill Stick to better control both the player and his hockey stick – it can be held in front of the attacker in an attempt to interrupt his advance. With the system, one can “sweep” the ice in front of the controlled player.
