Without missing a beat, I beat him. This only proves that this game is at its core, no different than 2012. 10 years, and virtually no progress.The CPU AI hilariously bad. They have given up on trying to balance single player, as they use hacky little physics gimmicks to get a result based difficulty, rather than a gameplay difficulty. But once you find the hacks around the bad CPU, a win is guaranteed every time.Online it looks like this HUT is just a cash grab. Embarrassing from a game studio to stoop this low for taking money from their small fan base. The player data base is reaching at this point with of a lack of good ideas, with fog of war and this odd potential system. But honestly, what are these developers supposed to do with a 12 month cycle.The graphics were decent-ish. Assuming due to its Frostbite jump from the ignite engine. And the front end took a robust set of options and data and presented it nicely, albeit sluggish on my PS4. For these two I give this game a 1.

4.4/10 user reviews is ridiculous. I’ve been playing NHL games since Wayne Gretzky on NES. NHL games have had a lot of issues over the years4.4/10 user reviews is ridiculous. I’ve been playing NHL games since Wayne Gretzky on NES. NHL games have had a lot of issues over the years but ‘22 has been a radically different game from the past 5-10 years. The player systems, puck handling, AI are all improved. Anyone who has been playing hockey and the video games for as long as I have, knows that this game should be rated 7 at the lowest. From here on out this series will only improve. Especially thanks to next gen consoles.

Just don't buy it unless you REEEEEEEAAALLLLY love hockey but even then don't buy it.

Overall, NHL 22 is a solid next-gen effort for the series, and points to bigger things to come. While longtime fans may be tired of the samey gameplay, there’s enough reason here to believe that EA has plans for the near future. Let’s hope they’re less about novelty modes and more about deeper presentation overhauls and a richer singleplayer experience.
