NHL 26

Play like a superstar in EA SPORTS NHL 26. Thanks to ICE-Q 2.0, which is now powered by NHL EDGE data, your favorite superstars will think and play like their real-life counterparts.

This is made possible by data-based attributes and tendencies that allow stars to play realistically and make decisions in the game with their playstyles. An optimized and expanded arsenal of 28 X-Factors, divided into five categories, is based on unique animations and tactical gameplay results, allowing each individual X-Factor to have an impact on the game. Now, superstars really feel like superstars.

The new goalie goal area control expands awareness between the posts with new close-range and reflex parries, allowing for adaptation to rebounds, poke checks, and improved AI positioning. This gives goalies increased control over the goal area. In the revamped Be A Pro, every decision will impact your career as you experience an authentic hockey journey from rookie to superstar... with fresh stories, characters, challenges and cutscenes.
