NHL 22

The game stats are displayed directly on the ice surface, so the player doesn't have to take their eyes off the ice and keeps a constant vigilant eye on the game. In addition, every time one of his players makes the best play, a special graphic is displayed above him, boosting his energy and lowering his opponent's morale.

Game modes

NHL 22 can be played both solo and with others. The game offers a variety of modes, including World of Chel, which in this installment has received, have been added, a new, faster menu system and a more customisable EASHL player build. The player has a choice of 12 player classes, each of which can be fully customised to suit their playing style.

Other information

Beta (technical tests) officially started on 30 August. Players who signed up for it received special codes via email. The uploaded material reached a size of 38 GB on new generation platforms and 28 GB on the previous one, which was probably related to improved graphics for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Unfortunately, in this part players cannot carry out joint gameplay across two different platforms. If a player has decided to purchase the game for Xbox One, they can only play matches with users who own the version for the same console.

Technical aspects

NHL 22 features realistic, 3D graphics. The game was developed on the Frostbite engine and boasts exceptional attention to detail. Player models have been revamped, and improvements have been made to the appearance and movement of objects. New eye animations and facial expressions have been added, among other things. Collisions of sticks or a stick with the player's body have also been mapped, and the movement of hitting the puck has been improved.
