Hockey is built different & with EA SPORTS NHL® 25 is powered by ICE-Q, a new gameplay intelligence system that lets you create time & space to control every inch of the ice. From the modernized skating of Next-Gen Vision Control and an overhaul of Chel’s AI player movement to authentic Reactive Action animations — experience true hockey intelligence with ICE-Q.
Next-Gen Vision Control provides fresh abilities, improvements, and a user-initiated skating mode that ups the responsiveness, explosiveness, and expression on the ice for human and AI players alike.
Reactive Actions reward players for proper on-ice positioning, increase collision avoidance, and offer authentic visual reactions for players to recognize and take advantage of in those high-action moments. Read the attacking zone, find an open teammate, and be rewarded with Skill Based One-Timers.
