NHL 24 release date, new features, gameplay, & pre-order benefits
NHL 24 will get a lot of new features, according to EA Sports and the new Exhaust Engine system is where the majority of the gameplay adjustments are made. Players that maintain pressure and possession in the offensive zone will be rewarded by the system, which will put defensive teams under pressure to clear the zone. Additionally, there will be a new Goalie Fatigue System that will reduce a goalie’s ability to make saves as pressure builds and pucks are thrown in his direction.
Objectives 2.0, which will monitor Objective progress in real-time, and HUT Moments are just two of the new features coming to Hockey Ultimate Team. Hockey Ultimate Team allows hockey lovers to relive major moments in NHL history while also earning rewards. People will be able to find and join clubs with gamers from different consoles in World of CHEL.

Who will be featured on the cover of NHL 24?
As per statement by EA, NHL 24’s cover will feature Avalanche standout Cale Makar, who won the 2021-22 Norris Trophy. Additionally, the young defenseman has clinched the Stanley Cup. Makar also received the prestigious Conn Smythe Trophy in recognition of his exceptional performances, which led him to bag the Stanley Cup Playoffs MVP award. For NHL 23, Team Canada forward Sarah Nurse and Ducks center Trevor Zegras were featured as the cover star.
Although Makar will be proud after becoming the NHL Game cover star, netizens are going crazy about an astonishing statistic. Surprisingly, only two of the last 27 athletes to grace the EA NHL game covers, were able to lead their clubs past the first round of the Playoffs in the same season. Fans are celebrating Makar’s inclusion on the NHL 24 cover, but this odd trend adds some ambiguity.
