NHL 24

NHL 24’s all-new gameplay features bring authentic on-ice action to life. Experience the rush and fatigue of a high-pressure game with the Exhaust Engine, where sustained pressure in the attack zone leads to new game-changing effects like goalie fatigue that slows the netminder’s reaction time the more they get worn down with offensive action; change the momentum with Physics-Based Contact as you break the glass and send players into the bench with big body checks; and get unparalleled player command with the new Vision Passing System and Total Control Skill Moves. Chel is more connected than ever with cross-play in all online team play modes, along with HUT Moments, which lets you recreate classic moments in hockey history and today’s biggest plays. Adding an extra layer of authenticity, Flex Moments introduces 75+ new goal celebrations, and a wholly refreshed presentation complements an enriched crowd atmosphere that makes playing the game feel like you’re at the game.

Reception

NHL 24 received "mixed or average" reviews, according to review aggregator website Metacritic, a slight improvement over the prior installment of the franchise.

Despite the scores remaining similar, many reviewers pointed to the lack of concrete changes, and the failure to implement new changes and features successfully made Push Square reviewer Graham Banas feel that the developers "took steps backward". Even IGN's review, not commonly critical of the franchise, considered the state of the franchise "stale" and the modes present in the game "as standard as ever".
