NHL 24 Gameplay Features
NHL 24 comes with exciting changes to its gameplay compared to NHL 23. There are new moves called total control skill moves, making it easy to perform fancy dekes with just one button. The game introduces a fresh exhaust engine, goalie fatigue, an improved passing system, and physics-based contact for a more realistic experience.
With total control skill moves, players can pull off complex dekes effortlessly. The passing system has been revamped, allowing you to pass the puck to teammates using the controller's four face buttons. The body checking system is similar to Bruise Control from NHL 2004, letting you charge your checks for more powerful and successful hits.
You can even check opponents into benches and break glass, adding to the intense action. NHL 24 also brings in full crossplay for Hockey Ultimate Team and World Of Chel, a feature that was missing in NHL 23. This means players can compete across different platforms, making the gaming experience even more engaging.
