NHL 22 PS4 Video Game PlayStation 4 American Hockey Sport EU 2022 PS5

The ice hockey stick must be swung and there must be battles like never before! Take advantage of the many new features included in this year's NHL 22, and not least the extremely realistic gameplay that makes the gaming experience completely unique!

Augmented Reality

You are constantly updated on game statistics, which constantly allows you to manage your game strategy and take real statistics as a starting point, rather than pausing the game.

New X-Factor Animations

NHL 22 brings you brand new and unseen player animations – these are central to the Superstar X-Factor capabilities, as these updated animations ensure more dynamism, pickups, puck protection, disagreements and more.

SUPERSTAR X-Factor

A completely new and different system that highlights players' skills and not least the very realistic feel of playing. The game features two levels of Superstar X-Factor skills assigned to players: game-changing Zone Abilities and boosted Superstar Abilities. Each player is assigned a defining Zone Ability and a secondary set of Superstar Abilities. The actual function of any Superstar X-Factor ability always remains the same, but its bonus level alternates between zone or superstar assignments. Superstar X-Factor is ultra-realistic and inspired by the special qualities for which the league's top stars are known.

Zone Capabilities

In this game, players are assigned a zone ability that really helps to define them. They are equipped with special abilities that seriously distinguish them from other competitors. Zone abilities are always ready and automatically activate under the right conditions. For example, a zone pass for long passes is activated when attempting a long pass (but has no effect on short passes). A special zone ability is only available to a limited number of players and in some cases even exclusive, meaning that some players have a unique ability that no other player can obtain.

Superstar Skills

These superstar abilities are not as unique as zone abilities, but superstar abilities add a special technical bonus to the stars.

This feature ensures that the elite skills of the stars are activated in all game types, including Hockey Ultimate Team, World of Chel, Franchise, and Be a Pro game types
