Drop-ins appear to be back insideReferees seem to have gotten much biggerIt appears when you obtain "Full Pressure" , you get 30-seconds of this advantage even if you leave the zone and come back:One thing I'd really like to be addressed is the icon-based passing. I would assume each face button is mapped to a position, but due to there only being 4 face-buttons, I understand there needs to be some changes on the fly. I would expect Right-D to remain as the A button. I'd suggest maybe adding R1 as an icon option so that you can remember where each button should pass to, and then maybe adjusting the passing mechanic so that a double-tap on any button is a saucer pass. This would be especially handy in 6's when you can memorize what pass-button your teammates are on.It also appears that the button pushes for one-touch-passing triggers the body check animations:Am I also seeing this right that player interactions with the goalies can now cause goalie stumbles?

@KidShowtime1867 Great observations… Like usual 😉But, the more I see the ICE in NHL24, the more I have nausea 😳 And I saw lots of goalies flopping around in that trailer… Is Dominik Hasek a consultant ? 😉Hope they fix these before the launch 🤞

I wonder what the difference between normal passing and Icon passing will be?How is the strength decided with Icon.. And whats the succes rate, I guess the puck wont with magic land on the tape just because you call for passes with help of Icon..Wonder when It's better to use the diffrent style of passing..Another thing they mention in the trailer was breakaway passes, but maybe that work the same as Icon..Damn, there will be a lot of buttons going on..* classic Kid thread, lovely mister! 😁🙏Referees have been on the gym... Giants!

@Sega82mega Hopefully there is some drawback to icon passing.. if it's just hit "x" and pass to nearest guy and it auto sauces/ goes off the boards to hit him in stride that makes passing too easy imo.. passing is one of the few skill gaps in the game.

@KlariskraysNHL All good, but all of this, is gonna clog up the ice with even more stuff no ? Icons for passes, Icons for pressure, Icons for this, icons for that… You get the idea… Pretty soon, seeing the ice will be a thing of the past 👋

@KidShowtime1867 Are those two pictures of the icon passing from the offensive zone sequence? It looks to me like # 42 switches from “A” to “B”. Is the mapping tied to the players location on the ice (front/back + left/right) or is the mapping tied to the distance from the puck carrier?

Some little things I noticed from the trailer

You bet - two screens from the same sequence.
I'm hoping button mapping isn't tied to the location and rather the position, but with only 4 face buttons being used, it might be location based.

I thought position would be best at first too, but think distance from player may be the way to go. Position would be great if every player stayed in position or you were a team of 6’s that can communicate, might be tough with players switching sides of the ice or not always being able to identify the player.

I’m wondering if all passes are made in a direct line or if bank passes can be made if a defender is in the way.

"Am I also seeing this right that player interactions with the goalies can now cause goalie stumbles?"

It looks like the goalie was just turning over to get up from his butt, not a stumble

I thought so too until I looked closer and it appears he attempts to stand up from butterfly, but the leg gets caught up with the players and then the stumble ensues:

If this somehow isn’t a stumble and that’s just how the goalies get up from the butterfly I’ll cry
