NHL 23 is an ice hockey simulation video game developed by EA Vancouver and published by EA Sports. It is the 32nd installment in the NHL video game series and was released for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S on October 14, 2022.[1]

Features

[edit]

NHL 23 features "The Zegras", a variant of the lacrosse-style goal, also known as the Michigan goal, performed by Trevor Zegras and Sonny Milano. A player from behind the net hits the puck up above the crossbar and another player in front of the net hits the puck into the goal.[2]

NHL 23 also features the new "Last Chance Puck Movement", a move that will allow the player to hit the puck with their stick even if they have been hit or tripped.

NHL 23's "Deep Dive" unveiled new animations, such as new hat tricks, national anthem animations, on-ice projection, a new overtime win animation, Stanley Cup Playoffs animations, interactive Stanley Cup celebrations, along with many other features.[3] Another round of the "Deep Dive" was announced that EA added a custom league option, where you can play as the Original Six, and have the ability to add a round robin used in the 2020 Stanley Cup playoffs.

Along with many other requested features, same-gen crossplay will be available.[4]

Soundtrack

[edit]
