The state of the NHL video game series has been mostly rocky for some time now.
Instead, the past two entries in the NHL franchise have been more or less par for the course.
Surprisingly, EA Sports may have accomplished this in some ways.

EA Sports introduced a few big enhancements to gameplay, beginning with the Exhaust Engine.
Up first, the Sustained Pressure System is also very self-explanatory.
This allows players to take advantage of the sustained pressure and potentially score quickly.
The system itself is actually pretty noticeable when you first jump into a game.
The Goalie Fatigue System is also pretty self-explanatory and tracks how tired goalies get in the game.
NHL 24’s new gameplay enhancements result in some of the smoothest gameplay the series has seen in years.
It’s an idea that isn’t exactly new to sports gaming but is new to NHL.
Other than that, though, it’s mostly the same old mode you either love or hate.
This allows players to go through some of the biggest moments of the ongoing hockey season.
NHL 24: Should you play it?
Despite that, NHL 24 still does take some meaningful steps forward.
If you’re able to look past those flaws, you’ll have a ton of fun skating around.
