NHL 25Â has been shown off by EA Sports, and it will include an all new system for realistic driven games.
EA Sports announced NHL 25 will be releasing on October 4th, with the new trailer seen below. Along with it, EA announced the game will have new “Ice-Q” features that allow the AI to adapt and play more realistically.
Powered by ICE-Q, NHL 25 is built different giving players the time and space to control every inch of the ice, delivering an authentic experience that replicates the NHL’s elite talent. For NHL 25, brothers Quinn, Jack and Luke Hughes will be the first siblings to grace an EA SPORTS cover together, with their play on the ice personifying NHL 25’s significant evolution in gameplay intelligence.
Built on an all-new logic-driven animation system, ICE-Q responds to contextual events with unprecedented realism and is the foundation of Chel’s gameplay overhaul. Next-Gen Vision Control skating allows players to walk the blue line, square up to the puck carrier, stay locked on goal and much more. The empowered AI helps players execute authentic plays with a refreshed playbook that improves power plays and opens up the ice for better overall positioning and offensive opportunities. Plus, Reactive Actions utilizes a series of new animations to make skaters more responsive in critical situations, increasing their urgency, collision avoidance and reliability.
Also interesting is the fact this is the first sports title to feature three brothers, Quinn, Jack and Luke Hughes, on the same cover. EA noting the skill of the 3 players is iconic of the new “Q” system that is implemented in the game.
Also new features will include a revamped Franchise Mode, with a new hub and features to expand your season and details. New WOC Live events, skill based one timers, other refinements to gameplay, and a new way to earn HUT single player points across all game modes.
