The addition of Superstar X-Factor abilities is definitely a plus for NHL 22, but it’s still strange that it took this long to implement the system in the NHL franchise given that it’s been in Madden for a few years now.

The mechanics rating is based on facets such as skating, hitting, and the overall physics of the game. Without further delay, then, here is the review for NHL 22. One of the biggest changes to NHL 22 compared to previous titles in the franchise is the utilization of the Frostbite engine (exclusively on Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X|S), as well as the inclusion of Superstar X-Factor Abilities.
