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.
  • TENDENCIES: What makes a superstar stand out is their individual tendencies on the ice. Highlighting their signature moves — like Draisaitl’s low shooting spot on the goal line and Trouba’s proclivity for laying the body — brings their on-ice character to life.
  • GOALIE CREASE CONTROL SYSTEM: These real-time reactions allow goalies to respond fluidly to changes in puck direction with split-second authenticity.
  • ICE-Q 2.0 PRESENTATION: All-new presentation elements, you get detailed, visualized breakdowns of that impact.
  • X-FACTORS: Welcome to HUT Seasons, an all-new, dynamic game mode experience where every match-up matters.
  • TEAM BUILDING: There are infinite ways to construct your squad in HUT Seasons thanks to innovative new team-building mechanics that keep things fresh and engaging all year long.
  • HUT RANKED COMPETITIVE MATCHES: If you live for edge-of-your-seat competitive kicks, Ranked Competitive Matches are for you. Build your team, and play your way through the ranks until you reach the top. It’s time to find out if you hang onto your number and claim the championship.
  • HUT CUP CHASE: Ready to play for some hardware? In HUT Cup Chase, it’s you versus the CPU in offline mode, as you battle it out through a mini-season of 18 league games as you attempt to make it to the playoffs, and advance through the bracket on your way to the HUT Cup and exclusive Season rewards.
  • HEROES AND ICONS: Celebrate the best, play with the best. Each season, all-new Heroes and Icons player cards will be released, spanning teams and eras, adding a dynamic new edge to your deck building.
