Leafs superstar center Auston Matthews, whose world class skills

“I’m thrilled to be working with EA SPORTS again and returning
to the ice in NHL 22,” said Auston Matthews of the Toronto Maple
Leafs. “This year, Superstar X-Factors bring a whole new level of
elite competition and strategy to the game, and you’ll be able to
unleash my ‘Shock and Awe’ ability for exciting shots at the
net.”
For the first time ever, the Frostbite engine comes to the EA
SPORTS NHL franchise, making NHL 22 the biggest leap forward in
graphics and game play in franchise history. Players will be
brought to life via overhauled player likeness, cloth animations
and uniform micro-details, all delivered in higher resolution to
make every stitch visible. Alongside these advancements will come
enhanced spatial awareness for players to track and react to the
world around them. In addition to enhanced player detail and visual
fidelity, on-ice gameplay will see an upgrade as well with new
physically accurate stick interactions, just one of many gameplay
improvements coming to NHL 22.
“Developing NHL 22 with the Frostbite engine is letting us truly
bring the series into the next generation,” said Clement Kwong,
Producer at EA Vancouver. “The visual upgrade is impressive on its
own, but the Frostbite engine is also giving us the power to create
a lot of realism that you’ll really notice once you play.”
Superstars will distinctly feel like their real-life
counterparts in NHL 22 with the introduction of Superstar
X-Factors, a game-changing system that unleashes unique abilities
for the best players in the game, with traits inspired by their
individual real-world skills. Superstar X-Factors bring two key
elements to help elevate hockey’s elite and break them away from
the pack: Zone Abilities and Superstar Abilities. Zone Abilities
bring game-breaking enhancements to the best players, while
Superstar Abilities represent upper echelon skills reserved for
athletes playing at the next level. Players like Edmonton Oilers
Forward Leon Draisaitl, whose “Tape to Tape” ability reflects his
elite core passing; or Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Andrei
Vasilevskiy’s “Contortionist” X-factor that boosts his ability to
make wild, body-twisting saves with ease will make a profound
impact on NHL 22 gameplay. Superstar X-Factors not only bring new
facets to gameplay but also add new dimensions to Franchise Mode,
Be A Pro, Hockey Ultimate Team and World of Chel.
Hockey encompasses a diverse community of passionate players,
all united by their love of the sport, and NHL 22 is embracing this
culture through a number of new features across modes, as well as
its rich live service plan beyond launch. In the coming weeks more
will be shared on the World of CHEL, Hockey Ultimate Team, Be A Pro
and Franchise modes, as well as some long-requested community
features.
Fans that pre-order NHL 22 will get a variety of bonus in-game
content. The EA SPORTS NHL 22 X-Factor Edition includes the
PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 or Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S
versions of the game, three days of early access, up to 10 HUT
Diamond Player Choice Packs, one HUT X-Factor Player Choice Pack,
HUT X-Factor Power-Up Starter Pack, up to four HUT X-Factor
Power-Up Packs, five World of Chel X-Factor Zone Ability Unlocks,
five Unlocked Hockey Bags, two Be A Pro X-Factor Slot Unlocks and
