"NHL 24: A Comprehensive Review of Gameplay, Franchise Mode, and More"

NHL 24 revitalizes the series with new gameplay mechanics like the Sustained Pressure system and contact-based physics, but falls short in balancing the offensive and defensive aspects. The new Vision Passing feature proves to be a multitasking nightmare, hindering gameplay. The addition of HUT Moments, a mode that allows players to relive iconic hockey plays, is a welcome change. However, the lack of innovation in offline modes, particularly the career mode, Be a Pro, is disappointing. The transition from loot boxes to a battle pass in World of Chel is met with mixed reviews, with lackluster rewards and server issues causing frustration.
