My knowledge of the sport is minimal, but that’s not to say that I haven’t had an absolute blast. Before I do, let me tell you that I’m by no means what you would call an NHL buff. These function and behave as they always have, so instead of retreading old ground, I’ll dive into what’s new. NHL 19 includes all the usual modes and trimmings, save a few new functions and mechanics. Safe to say, there’s a lot of content to get through and certainly no shortage of choice as you strive towards crafting the skater of your dreams. Everything within is tied to a simplified reward system that brings it all together, allowing you to make a player of your own choosing and earn rewards and credits to unlock over nine hundred pieces of apparel. NHL 19 encompasses everything that you would look for and expect to find, from the new world of CHEL, right up to EA’s real player motion technology. Furthermore, there’s a deep and intuitive introduction to the game for newcomers and returning fans alike. NHL 19 has it all, from well over two hundred ice hockey legends to play as – and against – and a wide range of content to support and uphold them.

NHL 19 is a prime example of how in-tune EA is with their fans, being that it builds upon what makes the series so successful, whilst throwing in heaps of improvements and gameplay refinements.

I think it’s fair to say that when it comes to sports games, no one quite dominates as much as EA does.
