I don’t know about you, but that sounds pretty fun. Just imagine killing time with friends locally or online by setting up a custom set of competitions for bragging rights. A lot players’ NHL 22 wishlist include the return of skills competitions. ![]() Getting that alert that a player on your team was selected to take part in the Accuracy event makes the mode feel more authentic. Seeing a full weekend of events in Franchise Mode would add a new wrinkle to a mode that has continuously gotten better over the years. All-Star Weekend/Skills CompetitionĪ feature that falls more into the “nice to have” category, adding All-Star Weekend and the Skills Competition to the series would be a nice touch to give fans something different. At least with the old system, a team of friends that didn’t have the time to play 100 games a day could still win a division championship. It lasted far too long compared to the regular season while it felt that you had to play the game endlessly to even have a chance to be a “champion”. Some things were nice like not knowing who your opponent was until you got into a game, but that was really it. They tried, but the EASHL playoff format introduced in NHL 21 was a complete failure and a mess. The NWHL continues to grow, and having it make its way to the NHL series would be a great step towards building a younger fan base. Of course, however, my big hope is that women’s teams finally get their rightful place in the game. With the new NIL policies from the NCAA, maybe fans finally get college teams into the game for an added twist. The USHL (with generic players) could be added. That said, there are other leagues that could make their way. Ok? More Leaguesīefore you even ask, no the KHL is likely to never be in an EA Sports NHL video game. Oh, and also work better on keeping the trash team and player names out of the game. With each game, we have been getting more and more likenesses added, but it’s just not enough. I feel like a broken record with this one, but more player likenesses are a must. It’s time to start things anew, and the best way to do that is to bring the game to a new engine. ![]() The game is looking and feeling stale after a subpar showing on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Sure, the Frostbite Engine might not be the greatest for sports games - which we’ve documented often - but it’s still better than what the series has been using. After seven years on the Ignite Engine, it’s time for NHL 22 to bring the series forward with a new engine. We know this is likely going to happen with this year’s game, but until it’s confirmed it makes the list. I’m Mike from Sports Gamers Online and here are 10 things we want to see from NHL 22. NHL 22 is the start of a new generation for the franchise, and there are ways to make sure it starts with a roar instead of a whimper.
