    There are too many EA haters on this page. It’s a very good hockey game.

    It’s a very good Hockeygame but all this EA Hater don’t understand it. Don’t buy the X - Factor Edition if you don’t play online modes like Hut or something but for £70 it’s a good game.

    Just a few innovation, but still good hockey! And EA, trust us, nobody cares about women hockey…

    While I still don't like that the Superstar X-Factors are returning and found the Frostbite engine to be a bad fit, the improvements on the gameplay and other features make NHL 23 a very good ice hockey game.

    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.
