i went ahead and downloaded the free trial. i only play VS Online. Like every other NHL game on release its a bit clunky. They'll have everything fixed by the time it's free on gamepass. Same thing happens to be yearly. I remember trying out NHL 20 w the EA Play trail when it was released and was like no way I'm going to play this, it's terrible. But by the time it was released on EA Access later in March I really enjoyed it and won over 200 games for the VS Online mode.

Re: NHL 22
This game is still in beta.
Its a disgrace.
Since this is DSP and not the corpo fascist Operation sports EA can go f*** themselves.
f***in embarrasment!

Re: NHL 22
So first game I try on my new XBX since it was the smallest to download is next gen NHL 22
Is there something I"m missing here? This is freaking terrible. Last years NHL 21 on XBO plays and looks much better.
Those arrows and icons over the players edge just make it look like s***. It's like too much stuff going on there. The icons make it so busy.
I know the game is going to be out on gamepass in April but s***, it's already April and they launched this months ago and it's still this way?

Re: NHL 22
I turned off all the stupid icons and made the cursor over the players at the smallest setting.
It doesn't look so busy now.
Gameplay I have to get use to. I see they made some changes from last year. Game plays much slower too.
I have some hope now. I think my 10 hours will be enough until it goes on Gamepass next month.

Re: NHL 22
Obama may have been in his first term the last time NHL was playable and even semi-realistic as a single-player game. And yes, I've played every version either through a purchase or the 10-hour EA Access trial. I think the last version I bought was NHL 16.

I haven't played Franchise in maybe 8 years. I just play VS Online.

Re: NHL 22
It's definitely been awhile since I really got into EA NHL. I'm playing a Blues franchise on SS with game speed down to 2 and it's not horrible but not all that great either.

Re: NHL 22
I went back to nhl 21 and wow what a difference. Fast paced and fun.
I did some HUT on NHL 22 and one of those rookie challenges. It was even slower than the regular game mode.
What a mess 22 is. Maybe I don't know how to play it yet but it's very frustrating to even try.
In NHL 21 , I'm like 41 games over .500 for VS. Online. I think I have around 150 wins now.

Re: NHL 22
I tried to play some threes last night... couldn't get into a game as the population was LOW. You all still playing EASHL?
