NHL 24 Gameplay Trailer and Deep Dive:

Here’s some of the new features fans can expect from NHL 24:

• All-New Exhaust Engine – A complete revamp of the NHL 24 gameplay experience that rewards extended offensive events and attack zone time, adding a dynamic new layer of authenticity and excitement to the game.
• Sustained Pressure System – If offensive players can keep the pressure on in the attack zone, they’ll trigger the Sustained Pressure perk, which lowers their opponent’s attributes for a limited time and creates more spacing for movement and setting up plays.
• Goalie Fatigue System – The longer you can sustain pressure, the more fatigue your opponent’s goalie will experience. Fatigue affects the netminder’s ability to react to shots as they wear down over time, and upwards of 75 new goalie animations help bring this in-game storyline to life.
• Physics-Based Contact – Overhauled physics and animations revolutionize physical contact and deliver realistic body checks like never before. New animation-based reactions create big moments at any point in the game. Plus, bigger checks open up more turnover opportunities, but if you don’t connect, you’ll be left out of position, adding a new layer of risk-reward gameplay. And yes, for those that like to get physical, you can now break the glass and send your opponent into the bench.
• Crossplay – NHL 24 sees improved cross-play capabilities that let you play with and against players across same-generation Sony and Microsoft consoles in HUT and WOC for the most connected Chel experience yet.
• Total Control Skill Moves – A complete refresh of the control setup makes using highlight-reel moves more intuitive and accessible. Plus, we’ve added a new ability to fake, pass, or deke out of every move, opening up a whole new level of creativity and strategy for players.
• Vision Passing System – A re-mapping of face buttons to your teammates, along with new visual iconography above pass receivers, allows for more direct passing and the ability to pass anywhere at any time on the ice. In addition, One Touch Passing lets you quickly move the puck around the ice and capitalize on big opportunities by tapping the pass button as the puck is in transit. All of this empowers more creative and authentic passing exchanges.
• Human Goalie Controls– We’ve updated Human Goalie Controls to be more accessible and intuitive, enhancing their potential impact on the ice.
• Tethered Control System allows you to slide back and forth to make saves and then auto-return back to a centered position, making it easier for the player to focus on the game.
• The Instinct System gives players the opportunity to guess the location of the shot for a bonus on their save attempt—but guessing wrong increases the chance of a goal.
