NHL 22 REVIEWS SERIES

Cloth animations have been updated down to the smallest detail to provide more realism.

Coaches do not look good at all, but facial animations and the overall look are better than the previous generation. Overhauled player faces make the players much more recognizable across the board, but are ultimately still lacking in comparison to the competition. Visual player details dictate the rest of what Frostbite has to offer. Skate indentions in the ice and tons of details make this look fantastic and helps to provide an excellent jump in visual quality. If thereвЂ™s a stoppage in play and the arena lights up, you see this on the ice. The game is darker during gameplay and makes it feel more gritty. What the game offers are a ton of screen space reflections on the ice that make it more realistic. The first thing youвЂ™ll notice is the improved lighting, but thereвЂ™s no Ray Tracing. It would be nice if the team added a player information box much like NBA 2K has to have a better idea of what youвЂ™re working with.ДЇrostbite is more focused on bringing the visual upgrades to the latest generation of NHL 22 rather than completely overhauling the physics, but there are changes. The icons above the heads during gameplay are pointless if you donвЂ™t know what it means.

Adding these abilities is a very nice change of pace and helps the overall feel of NHL 22 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S feel fresh. Having the skating ability allows for better one-on-one battles. These are best experienced on the default difficulty settings to get an idea to how they play. Players like Sebastian Aho can deliver passes that arenвЂ™t as easily makeable. Some have passing abilities or defensive abilities. It canвЂ™t be assumed that just giving one of these players the puck immediately means they score every time. ItвЂ™s important to know and read what player has what abilities.

Some players will simply have superstar abilities without being an official X-Factor. There are 29 different Superstar X-Factor abilities and theyвЂ™re broken down into two categories: premiere zone abilities and superstar abilities.

Be A Pro and World of CHEL will have you unlocking these through different means for use. Quick Play and Franchise Mode allows players to have their allocated Superstar X-Factors on teams and in Franchise Mode, amateur and pro scouts can reveal these X-Factors for players coming up or in the league. This can be experienced across all modes, but in a variation. Superstar X-Factors help bring the best players in the NHL to the forefront of NHL 22. The result is a new look and feel for the NHL series, and the largest leap of any EA Sports game this generation. Superstar X-Factors were also added, which helps amplify abilities for the superstars on the ice to help separate them from the rest. The team made the jump to EAвЂ™s Frostbite Engine for NHL 22, which helps create the baseline for a new generation experience for the series. EA Vancouver decided that it would skip the launch window of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S so it could focus on a truly new experience for NHL 22.
