I hadn't purchased a new NHL game since 2015, so I figured it was time. It's the same game with a few new gameplay options. NHL Threes is pretty silly and personally I think it's a waste of space. To each their own, I guess. The game advertises defensive stick control as a new feature.

It is time to head back to the Ice with the annual NHL franchise that EA Sports can release without any competition. Does the lack of competition cause the franchise to continue on its decline or has NHL 18 picked up the slack over NHL 17?

Gameplay is strong as always; Training and skill improvements; Amazing crowd atmosphere; Deep modes

Commentators and the pre-game presentation elements need to be refreshing

I don't understand why the same developer as FIFA can't get a game right. Be a Pro hasn't been updated in 2 years, HUT is just to make more money and the gameplay is so slow. Quit skating by on the bare minimum and release a good game. And no one cares about NHL Threes!

I have been getting NHL ps4 for my Grandson every Christmas since it came out! He is a hockey fan (and also plays. He will love it!

I am happy with this game. Kids also.

Bought for my grandson he loves ice hockey and he loves this game.

The 2017 NHL Stanley Cup Finals was pure hockey, a classic six-game Stanley Cup series, rejecting the long-standing cliche of a black-eyed but smiling player missing a front tooth. Every moment of the series was about skill. NHL 18 follows suit.
