Here it is, everyone! The NHL 24 Reveal Trailer
Forum Discussion
Once again, the trailer looks awesome. It’s promising that they are trying to create other ways to score with the fatigue meter, I think it’s a great idea, hopefully it plays out as well as it sounds.
About the only thing I don’t personally like is that some dekes are now tied to buttons instead of solely relying on the skill stick to pull off these moves.
Also, it wouldn’t be an official NHL trailer without reintroducing some old features lol. Aren’t one touch passes already in the game? Hitting into the bench and breaking class weren’t removed that long ago were they?
- @Beauts90 I don't think glass breaking or hitting into the bench have been in the game since the PS3 generation of games. But yeah, old stuff brought back as 'new'.

One-touch passes have been in the game, but they have been improved for 24 with the vision passing system. Glass breaking and hitting players in to the bench were in previous games as well, but we also aren't advertising them as brand new and never before in the game. I believe that was with the transition to Xbox One/PS4 so it's been quite a while since we saw them last.

Not to split hairs too finely, but the VO did say, "you can NOW hit your opponent into..." rather than, "you can ONCE AGAIN hit your opponent into..." What was actually said does heavily imply that it's a new feature. That said, it's a welcome (return) addition either way.
If it’s mapped with the buttons, the one touch passing could be a major upgrade. Especially if they remove the option of just hitting pass, that always made me pass when trying to switch players.
As far as reintroducing features, I’m not going to go down that road again this year, we can just leave it at that lol.- EA_Aljo

- @EA_Aljo The trailer specifically says “we’ve added one touch passing” which implies it wasn’t in the game before. Also saying “you can now break the glass and check into bench” implies its new. That’s two highlight features that are/used to be in the game, and are being advertised as new.
It’s a business though I get it, gotta rope people in somehow especially after 23.
Overall, pretty underwhelming trailer, though as an offline player I am not surprised at how underwhelming it was. Animations look a bit better. Still look pretty robotic though in some areas.
The changes to goalies can go either way. Make them worse (which is already hard to do) or make them better, which I’m skeptical about. Each time they tout their changes to goalies as great, they end up being worse lol
When will the “deep dives” drop?
I’m expecting maybe 1 or 2 short paragraphs for FM and BAP each, at best- @007hockey Mike Inglehart, creative director of NHL 24, says, "We didn't put our energies into offline game modes.
