EA SPORTS™ NHL® 25 BRINGS UNPRECEDENTED
AUTHENTICITY TO THE GAME WITH ALL-NEW ICE-Q GAMEPLAY INTELLIGENCE
SYSTEM; LAUNCHING OCTOBER 4 (Photo: Business Wire)
Built on an all-new logic-driven animation system, ICE-Q
responds to contextual events with unprecedented realism and is the
foundation of Chel’s gameplay overhaul. Next-Gen Vision Control
skating allows players to walk the blue line, square up to the puck
carrier, stay locked on goal and much more. The empowered AI helps
players execute authentic plays with a refreshed playbook that
improves power plays and opens up the ice for better overall
positioning and offensive opportunities. Plus, Reactive Actions
utilizes a series of new animations to make skaters more responsive
in critical situations, increasing their urgency, collision
avoidance and reliability.
“The new ICE-Q gameplay system represents a foundational shift
in how players will experience the game, with its deep intelligence
giving them complete control of the ice,” said Mike Inglehart,
Senior Game Design Director at EA Vancouver.” Hockey is built
different, with NHL 25 delivering greater authenticity, bigger team
rivalries and inspired by the sport’s next-generation superstars
who continue to redefine the game.”
NHL 25’s dedication to hockey intelligence is personified by
this year’s cover athletes. While Quinn, Jack and Luke Hughes each
have created impressive careers in their own right with unique
skill sets, they are renowned as a family for their exceptional
skating ability and hockey IQ. As the first siblings to grace the
cover of an EA SPORTS title, their ability to anticipate the game
perfectly matches the way that ICE-Q opens up NHL 25 and gives
players time and space to create plays.
“We feel incredibly honored to be on the cover of NHL 25,” said
Quinn Hughes of the Vancouver Canucks. “Being featured alongside my
brothers is the sort of thing you dream about as a kid but could
never imagine happening in real life.”
“It was a very proud moment for all of us when we saw the Deluxe
cover,” said Jack Hughes of the New Jersey Devils. “It reminded us
that on the ice, we’re competitors, always learning from each
other, but off the ice, we’re brothers who love to play
hockey.”
“Being on the cover with my brothers is incredibly exciting,”
said Luke Hughes of the New Jersey Devils. “We have a one-of-a-kind
hockey story growing up together and now a one-of-a-kind cover. We
can't wait for fans to experience NHL 25.”
NHL 25 includes gameplay changes, skill based one-timers, a new
WOC Live Events structure, HUT Wildcard Mode, and a simplified,
single-path XP progression shared across HUT. Skill Based
One-Timers enhance authentic gameplay and create unique moments. By
reading the attacking zone and finding an open teammate, players
are rewarded with the impact of a deadly one-timer, leading to
heart-pumping scoring possibilities. The all-new Grudge Match
System tracks the history of matchups between teams across all
major online and offline modes and enhances the series with special
X-Factors that are earned in previous matchups against rival teams.
Additionally, the introduction of Sapien Technology and the power
of our Frostbite Engine on next-gen consoles delivers a visual
uplift to character likeness.
Fan-favorite Franchise Mode also gets a revamp, starting with
the Franchise Hub, featuring streamlined navigation that gives
players access to new, relevant and easy-to-digest information.
This elevated Franchise Mode user experience is just one of the
many updates coming to the mode, with more announcements coming in
the weeks leading up worldwide launch. More details about each of
these features will come in deep dive videos ahead of launch.

Family” Objectives Choice Pack (x2, 82 OVR), HUT Cover Athlete
