For the last few years, developer EA Vancouver has been working toward creating the best hockey experience on the market. Each year, they’ve added new features and tweaked older, more established ones, and incrementally, the NHL franchise gotten better and better. For NHL 19, it all comes together to present one of the best hockey games ever, and while that’s an admittedly heady declaration, there’s still room for improvement.
As with most sports video games, there’s not much more you can do to represent that actual sport. EA Vancouver checked the boxes in recent years with their incredible stick control options and player-controlled dekes, and last year’s entry even gave the player more control on the ice, creating options for between-the-leg passes and multiple ways to shoot the puck, accentuating finesse as much as force.

Arcade sports games have become increasingly less prominent in recent years. With animations becoming more and more realistic, and graphical fidelity reaching new heights, sports game developers have been embracing this approach to realism with open arms. Gone are the NFL Blitz’s and NBA Street’s of yesteryear, and the sports game market is now fully dominated by the simulation sports genre. However, the one yearly title which bucks this trend, to a certain extent, is the NHL franchise from EA Canada. While it doesn’t stray too far away from the simulation formula, NHL 18 does bring the series to moments that haven’t been featured in sports games for a number of years.
The newest addition to NHL in this year’s game is “NHL Threes”, which (if the name didn’t make it clear enough) is a full game mode dedicated to 3-on-3 hockey with a twist,...

Every time I hear of a new video game console, I begin to wonder what type of advancements it’ll allow EA Canada’s NHL development team to make. I kid you not, that’s the first thing that comes to mind. Perhaps it’s the Canadian in me, but each and every new iteration of the franchise gets me excited. Say what you will about sports games, and feel free to have your own opinion of them, but there isn’t a series out there that has taken more of my free time than EA Sports’ NHL.
