With the introduction of the NHL® THREES mode, NHL® 18 now
offers over-the-top 3-on-3 hockey action complete with unique
arenas and new commentary. The arcade-inspired mode features faster
gameplay, bigger hits and high-scoring action that can be
experienced through both couch co-op and fully competitive online
team play. Featuring a new NHL® THREES Campaign Mode that can be
offline or in co-op with a friend, players compete against
different teams and leagues in a circuit-style journey, where they
can unlock objective-based rewards as they progress through the
campaign.
“There’s a generational shift happening in the NHL right now
where younger players like Connor McDavid are bringing more speed,
skill and creativity to the game than we’ve ever seen before,” said
Sean Ramjagsingh, Sr. Producer, NHL® 18. “We’re so excited to bring
that to life in NHL 18 with features that reflect that new NHL®
like insane skill moves and faster, 3-on-3 hockey.”
Gameplay in NHL® 18 has never looked so good, with new Creative
Attack moves, which gives players the control to execute
jaw-dropping plays. On offense, creative dekes include
between-the-legs moves, one-handed dekes, and the ability to branch
moves together for quick play-by-play decision making. On defense,
the Defensive Skill Stick gives players full control of their stick
to take away passing lanes, deflect shots and poke the puck away.
The tool allows players to counter attacks with poke check
targeting, extended poles, and controlled stick sweeps to cover
zones of the ice.
NHL® 18 has also expanded on the popular Franchise Mode, to
include a new Expansion Draft feature that lets players reshape the
entire NHL by adding and drafting a 32nd team. Through the
Expansion Draft, players can run an authentic draft experience to
build a dynamic roster as well as take on the front office role to
manage the team, the business and the games. Start with a hometown
for the 32nd team from cities across North America and Europe, then
use the Creation Zone to choose an arena, design a uniform and a
logo, and for the first time ever - design their very own custom
mascot. Players can also use NHL Expansion Draft™ to experience the
Las Vegas Knights™ first, complete with authentic rosters, uniforms
and logos.
Finally, NHL® 18 introduces more ways to team up and compete in
multiplayer than ever before. Featuring over 64 different
combinations of multiplayer gameplay – including the ability to
create a team of local couch players combined with online players
from their own console – no other EA SPORTS game lets you team up
and play with your friends like NHL® 18.
NHL® 18 is developed by EA Vancouver and is available now
worldwide for Xbox One and PlayStation®4. To learn more about NHL®
18, visit www.easports.com/nhl/. Visit www.easports.com/nhl/buy for
