Astonishing NHL 23 verdict revealed

Verdict posted 10/20/22 by IGN. See full reivew at IGN.com. It’s overdue, but NHL 23 finally looks and feels like it belongs on these beefier consoles. The visual tech upgrade adds stellar reality to the on-ice play, which also benefits from players who are willing to dive for the puck to make a desperate goal or save. It gains new energy from crowds reacting to the action like real crowds would, bringing a definitive audio design that’s best-in-class for stadium effects. Franchise mode customization greatly expands, and seeing women in the fold for the first time feels right – and also overdue. At the same time there are several modes that are outright ignored, including the Be a Pro single-player campaign, and its microtransaction-driven Ultimate Team mode comes with the usual caveats about its predatory, profit-driven nature.

More details than all of the previous game systems, this includes more requirements for skill and individual player control.

Pretty much the same as every other year little grpahics tweaks and minor bug fixes, new jerseys, new options but essentially the same game as lastyear. Great if you like hockey however.

More stadium lights and sounds, more announcers, more hockey cards, but the overall mechanics of the game haven't changed since 2019, at least. Same fights, same animations, same backwards skating refs that get stuck. The underlying game doesn't change. Just the cosmetics.

NHL 23 finally looks and feels like it belongs on Playstation 5 console. Visual upgrade from NHL 22 it`s amazing. I am playing mostly just Franchise mode, where I am adding my own team. There`s some new animations, new celebrations and lots of small bits you will like. you can completely edit your season setup. But I am still missing small bits that will make me love it. Definitely good start for NHL 24 ;-)
