About the project

NHL 24 reworked physical contact and sustained pressure, with a stronger emphasis on board play and on-ice collisions. It also supported complete cross-platform matchmaking for Hockey Ultimate Team and World of Chel within the same console generation.

Shipping across two hardware generations at once meant every feature had to degrade gracefully. What ran on a PlayStation 5 still had to feel like the same game on a PlayStation 4.
