Rumor: Artemi Panarin to Be EA NHL 22 Cover Athlete (Edit: It's Matthews again I guess? LMAO)

[romba]

Also it seems like this X factor is similar to the dekes system they had in like nhl97 (?)

i remember that a handful of stars such as sakic had a special deke that was basically an auto goal.

What is old is new lol

edit: wow cant believe i got the year right.
NHL 97 - Wikipedia

Yea, I remember Lafontaine had that move for the Rangers. If you pulled the move off without complete puck control (the star wasn't completely filled in) then the D could knock it away or it wouldn't be so amazing. If you did it after full control attained it was an auto goal

Sports games are a racket. $60 a year for what is effectively a roster update. And gamers buy in out of pure fomo.

 

[Machinehead]

Tease the team with 2 million fans to get clicks and then just use the same photo we used two years ago.

EA gonna EA.

Wait am I reading this right that it's not cross platform compatible? So I'll only be able to play NHL 22 online against others who have PS5's? Man the game is gonna be even more dead than it already was lmao

Some say they make the same game every year but they actually go backwards.

NHL 10 is still the best game they've made. Drury is on the Rangers as a player in that game.

I want to play NHL 10 now just so I can trade Drury and then beat the shit out of him in fights

its not FOMO but rather i want up to date players ratings, contracts draft picks and teams. Especially now that the Kraken are added. A

And its entertainment. Like paying for Netflix.

I hope his special X Factor move is that he can perform the "Kick" during play and you can go around injuring players. That would be pretty cool.

Hard to get a good look but it looks nothing like him. Zibanjead also looks meh.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Valeri Kamensky was so good in that one.

Christian Dube was a killer for me

 

[Panteras]

I’m still trying to get a hold of a Ps2 to play NHL 07 that I have laying around lol

 

[DutchNYR]

Valeri Kamensky was so good in that one.

He was my favourite hockey player back then, just because of that game.

Still waiting for icon passing, you know a feature we had in 2k 15 years ago.

i thought ea has it and u just need to change the settings?
While i like it, it does make the game way to easy bc passes were always pwrfect

I froze it. They exaggerated his nostrils to Auston Matthews levels. It's bad enough he's on the cover, but they have to add insult to injury by making in-game Panarin resemble him?

I'm tired of trying to pass it to the slot from the corner and it passes it to the point.
