Play like a superstar in EA SPORTS NHL 26. That starts with ICE-Q 2.0, now powered by NHL EDGE data, so your favorite superstars think, move, and play like their on-ice selves. That includes data-informed Attributes and Tendencies which make star players perform in true-to-life fashion, with their playstyles and decision-making game-aware and impactful. A fine-tuned and enhanced arsenal of 28 X-Factors spans five different categories and is driven by unique animations, tactical gameplay outcomes, and tiers of impact, turning each into a formidable on-ice weapon. Superstars now truly feel like superstars.
- ICE-Q 2.0 utilizes powerful NHL EDGE data so you can think, move, and play like your favorite superstars.: By informing player Attributes, Tendencies, and with the all-new Goalie Crease Control System, NHL EDGE data brings a deeper level of authenticity to Chel.
- ATTRIBUTES: The NHL EDGE data that powers ICE-Q 2.0 is used to inform player attributes like skating acceleration, top speed, slap shot power, and wrist shot power. This provides authentic differentiation for in-game superstars and offers players exciting strategic advantages.

Q: If I buy this physical copy can it be converted to a digital download if the user prefers that?
A: Why not just purchase the digital version? It’s available like most sports games. But I understand, nothing beats a hard copy for collectors. And I know friends who have lost digital versions.
