What better year to shake things up than this one, right? I got to spend a day at the EA Vancouver campus to get hands-on time with the game, learn about their motion capture and animation process, and see precisely what’s in store for the NHL 24.

EA VANCOUVER’S GAMEPLAY OVERHAUL EA Vancouver has decided 2024 is the year to do a complete rehaul of the NHL game franchise, and their slogan this year is “Gameplay is King.” You will see a clear difference for the die-hard fans out there when you jump into NHL 24.

These two not only support the changes behind the changes to EA Sports NHL 24 but were glowing while they talked about them. A team always needs to stand behind their project, but Inglehart and Haluke completely fanboyed while talking about NHL 24, and to me, that’s a win already.

Chris Haluke, being a goalie himself, said, “The instinct system itself allows me to use my instincts if I think the shot’s going to go high glove side, then I make that anticipation. And if I guess right, then I will definitely get a boost, and I’ll make that big save. So it reminds me a lot of playing goalie in real life.”
