Hockey fans rejoice. NHL 18 is here with some awesome new features.
EA’s yearly hockey game this time around comes with some new features and gameplay tweaks. There’s a new Creative Attack control scheme, improved AI, team creation, a Defensive Skill Stick, and a new 3-on-3 arcade mode. The two that are brand-new features are the Creative Atack and Defensive Skill. They both add new ways to play the popular NHL series and allows you to use a whole new arsenal of ways to score.
You’ll need to get creative and think of new ways to counter them as well. There’s poke checks, controlled sweeps, and other precision attacks.
The new arcade mode is where you pit 3 vs. 3 players against each other in a fast-paced game. Everything’s sped up, including ice, goals, and hits. There are also fewer rules to draw in those who aren’t hardcore hockey fans but want to experience the game. You can even play a dedicated campaign mode in this new way to play the game, including going against different fantasy teams, unlocking stuff, getting jerseys, logos, players, and other rewards.
If you’re a hardcore fan, you’ll appreciate the 32nd NHL custom team creation. Like the other games in the series, NHL 18 will bring back what players want with new gameplay elements.
NHL 18 is available for both PS4 and Xbox One and will feature everything you expect from it.
