    Honestly, HUT is garbage. The matchmaking is way unfair. My 84 ovr team got matched with a 95 ovr team in division 5…. World of CHEL is kinda fun, but very raging at times. They haven’t done anything new to the Pro Career. Still feels like NHL 22 and 21 tbh, it’s fun in the pro career, but everything else is garbage.

    The addition of cross-platform gameplay is a very welcome addition to the franchise, but that is essentially the extent of meaningful changes made from NHL 22. While gameplay can sometimes be smooth and satisfying, there are still way too many bugs needing a fix. This game is the epitome of a yearly sports game being a glorified roster update.

    It's getting harder and harder to find revolutionary elements without expanding the NHL itself. But despite these challenges, this year's edition of virtual hockey has something going for it and offers surprisingly great gameplay. [Issue#323]

    NHL 23 is a good if not revolutionary entry into an already commendable simulation sports game. It might not bring anything new to the ice, but it builds on the already pretty precise gameplay and its additions to the current modes make it a very solid entry to the series.

    The NHL series really needs some competition. Once again, we get improvements in just one game mode while the others gather dust. This year, however, the amount of joy that has been added feels greater than usual.
