NHL 25 (2024)
EA SPORTS NHL 25 is powered by ICE-Q, a new gameplay intelligence system that gives you the time and space to control every inch of the ice. Next-Gen Vision Control allows you to walk the blue line, square up to the puck carrier, stay locked on goal, and much more. Empowered AI completely overhauls Chel's CPU player system, helping them execute authentic plays with a refreshed playbook that improves powerplays and opens up the ice for better overall positioning and offensive opportunities. Reactive Actions utilizes a series of new animations to make skaters more responsive in critical situations, increasing their urgency, collision avoidance, and reliability. ICE-Q is true hockey intelligence.
Plus, the addition of a revamped Franchise Mode experience, a brand-new WOC Live Events structure, HUT Wildcard Mode, and a simplified, single-path XP progression shared across HUT kicks Chel's game modes up a notch. Upping the ante even further on presentation, the all-new Grudge Match System keeps track of the competitive history between teams across all major online and offline modes and enhances series with special X-Factors that are earned in previous matchups against rival teams. Finally, the introduction of Sapien Technology to the franchise takes character likenesses to a whole other level.
