ICE-Q. Next-gen vision control. Etc.
The first NHL 25 gameplay trailer has been released and shows off new tech including ICE-Q.
“This is true hockey intelligence. Built on an all-new logic-driven animation system, ICE-Q responds to contextual events on the ice with unprecedented authenticity and is the foundation of Chel’s gameplay overhaul,” EA Sports said of this year’s iteration.
“Next-Gen Vision Control provides fresh abilities, improvements, and a user-initiated skating mode that ups the responsiveness, explosiveness, and expression on the ice for human and AI players alike,” it continued. “A completely overhauled AI player system heightens CPU skaters’ awareness of other players and positioning on the ice. Plus, a refreshed playbook improves power plays, 5-on-5 offensive plays.”
“Reactive Actions reward players for proper on-ice positioning, increase collision avoidance, and offer authentic visual reactions for players to recognize and take advantage of in those high-action moments,” said EA. “Skill Based One-Timers create authentic gameplay tension as offensive excitement and expectation mix with defensive concern and anticipation, each pass creating unique moments and opportunities for high-scoring probability shots.”
Check it all out in the trailer, above.
