NHL 19 Now Available
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(September 14, in the year of
our Lord 2018)--Electronic Arts Inc. today released EA
SPORTS™ NHL ® 19, introducing players to the World of CHEL where
they can compete in the great outdoors and journey from the pond
to the pros. Powered by the RPM Tech gameplay technology, NHL ®
19 delivers all-new skating and collision physics systems that
make gameplay look, feel and play better. Over 200 playable
hockey Legends gives fans that chance to compete with and
against the greatest players to ever lace up the skates.
“NHL ® 19 is the first time we’ve been able to build and deliver
an experience that spans beyond the pros and lets fans enjoy all
forms of hockey - from frozen parking lot ponds, to big outdoor
festivals, all the way up to the arenas of the pros,” said Sean
Ramjagsingh, Senior Producer, NHL ® 19. “We’re also incredibly
excited about the level of innovation that RPM Tech adds to
gameplay, which we were able to gather incredible feedback
around during our Open Beta to ensure that NHL ® 19 is the
best-playing EA SPORTS NHL game we’ve ever built.”
In NHL ® 19, players can compete on outdoor ponds under a
unified progression hub called World of CHEL that unites EA
SPORTS Hockey League, NHL® THREES Drop-In and two new game
modes, NHL® ONES and Pro-Am. NHL® ONES pits three players
against each other in a festival-like king of the hill
tournament featuring fast-paced, 1v1v1, free-for-all fun, with
no rules and no stoppages. Players win games to rank up to new
outdoor locations and defend their position on daily
leaderboards. Progression and rewards earned in World of CHEL
can be applied to each player’s Create-A-Character, allowing
them to personalize their gameplay with new player traits and
abilities, as well as express their individuality with over 900
new customization items.
At the core of NHL ® 19 is cutting-edge Real Player Motion (RPM)
Technology in gameplay, which redefines the way movement and
animations are showcased. Influenced by speed and creativity in
today’s game, RPM Tech enables explosive-edge skating, giving
players more control, faster acceleration and more
responsiveness as they move up and down the ice, creating the
most responsive gameplay in franchise history. RPM Tech is
paired with a new collision physics system that introduces more
contextual body-checking, bringing bigger, badder, jaw-dropping
hits that are dynamic based on speed, size and point of impact.
Fans can pay homage to the hockey stars of the past with the
inclusion of Legends, featuring over 200 of the greatest players
from all eras, including Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, Patrick
Roy, Teemu Selanne, Peter Forsberg, Jean Beliveau and more.
Players can compete as Hero Teams that combine squads of
superstars from the past and present for an ultimate fantasy
matchup. Play with the best of the best from all eras in both
single-player and multiplayer modes.
Hockey culture shines in NHL ® 19 as players can create unique
looks with lifestyle gear and apparel for the first time.
Hoodies, jackets, parkas, winter knits, and more are available
to wear on the ponds, including authentic apparel from brands
like Adidas.
