EA Sports showcased NHL 24 today and it revealed new features coming to the game this Fall. One of those features mentioned was true cross-play as we shared a few days ago it was coming to the game. This means you can party up with your friend on PlayStation while you’re on Xbox. During today’s trailer we received a deep dive as to what the game will look like and what some of the new mechanics are.

NHL 24 features a new Sustained Pressure and Goalie Fatigue systems thanks to the brand-new Exhaust Engine – powered by Frostbite. In the Sustained Pressure System, offensive players who keep pressure on in the attack zone are rewarded and will trigger the Sustained Pressure perk, creating more space by wearing down their opponent.

With the Goalie Fatigue System, the more pucks players put on net, the more tired the opponent’s goalie will get. This will impact the goalie’s ability to react to shots and EA has added upwards of 75 goalie animations that will help replicate real life hockey.

They also showed off an overhaul to Physics-Based Contact allowing players to break glass, hit opponents into a bench and for the first time you can perform a reverse hit.

NHL 24 is more connected than ever with cross-play, but it’s only limited to Hockey Ultimate Team and World of Chel. Players can now play with and against players across same-generation Sony and Microsoft consoles. That confirms you can’t play with someone on a PlayStation 4 while you are on PlayStation 5.
