Playing a Game

GAME SCREEN

The Game screen includes the score, period, and time left in the period.

PAUSE MENU

Press the OPTIONS button during a game to freeze the action and open the Pause menu. You can see the current game stats on the right side of the screen, such as goals, shots, passing percentage, and power plays.

Resume Game

Get back onto the ice and continue your current game.

Instant Replay

View a replay of your game. Fast-forward or rewind the match, zoom in or out, and move the camera around to get the best angle of the action.

Settings

Customize settings for gameplay, audio, visuals, controls, and more. You can also choose to play as the other team, or toggle Goalie Mode ON/OFF depending on whether or not you want to play as the goalie

Quit

Leave the current game or select REMATCH to restart the game from the beginning. Either way, the current game will not save.

Game Stats

View the Box Score section to see detailed scoring and penalty information for the current game, as well as stats for both teams’ players. With the Action tacker, watch replays of the on-ice action by selecting the event you want to witness. Choose the type of action-such as goals—and the period to get started. You can also press down on the left stick to filter the choices by team and/or player.

Manage Teams

Manage your team by editing lines and setting strategies as the game progresses.

Coach Feedback

Check on your Offense, Defense, Team Play, and Overall Performance ratings to see where your game needs improvement. In addition, your virtual Coach will also give specific suggestions concerning your behavior on the ice.

Game Modes

Whether you want to play a quick game, challenge your Friends, or start a hockey career, you can find all of NHL® 22’s game modes in the main menu.

SAVING YOUR GAME

Game information for NHL® 22 is automatically saved to your PlayStation 5 system. In Be a Pro and Franchise modes you may save new careers based on the one you’re currently playing. Your progress in these career modes will be saved automatically at different checkpoints and upon exiting the mode.

PLAY NOW

Hit the ice for an offline match, playing solo or locally with Friends. Choose the home and away teams, select your jerseys, and get ready to dominate on the ice as the team of your choice!

Before you begin, take the time to adjust your lines, strategies, and game settings. Swap players and choose your starting lineup for both offense and defense. You have control over everything, from your defensive coverage to your forward line actions, so get your gameplans ready!

PLAYER SKILLS AND STRATEGY

Keep in mind that some strategies are built for certain types of hockey players. For instance, Crash the Net for your forward line is best if your players possess a lot of physical strength. Check your lineups to see who’s taking the ice and choose strategies that put their unique skill sets to good use!

ONLINE VERSUS

Challenge other NHL® 22 players to games online. You can play Competitive or Casual matches, compete alongside and against Friends online or on the couch, or play cooperatively against the CPU. This is the place to put your skills to the test!

BE A PRO CAREER

Truly experience NHL® 22 as your own custom player. Our newly added season and post-game stories will test your professional skills of the ice, such as the Pre-Draft Interviews. A few days before the NHL Entry Draft, you’ll meet with three teams who are considering drafting your player. Choose your answers wisely: your performance can improve (or lower) your Draft Ranking.

Choose one of the 15 player classes for your player. Each class has its own goals: for example, a Defensive Defenseman won’t need to be scoring a hattrick to impress their coach. We’ll assign current players to the classes to help you visualize their playstyles.

Navigate the Skill Tree to enhance your XP within specific ratings, while Specialties offer situational boosts during games.

Prove your wroth in games, improve based on Coach Feedback, and get drafter to start your career. Your performance will shape your legacy.

FRANCHISE MODE

Lead your team to Stanley Cup glory through good management and business sense behind the scenes.

Allow room in your budget for scouting prospects and rival teams, adding a whole new dimension to the GM experience. For realistic challenge, enable Fog of War to restrict your view of the competition until you scout them directly.

Being a GM is not only about managing your team, but also making crucial decisions regarding player personnel, scouting, ticket prices, operations budgets, arena upgrades, and relocation.

As a GM, you will need to manage many aspects of your team’s franchise. Hire a coaching tag that improves your team’s chemistry and player morale. Use the scouting system to find perfect players for your team-and make sure you’ve got the right scouts to find them. Introduced this year, you’ll need to fight for your trades before the Trade Deadline, managing Availability, Market Demand, Trade Blocks and Trade Offers under a strict timeline.

You can also use Interviews and Conversations to learn more about your players and staff or improve your team’s morale (if you can keep your promises!). You’ll even need to balance your stadium’s budget, food, and cleanliness. All the tools to better your team and create a successful franchise are in your hands.

HOCKEY ULTIMATE TEAM (HUT)

In HUT, you will create and manage your dream team to take onto the virtual ice of HUT Competitive Seasons, Online Seasons, and HUT Champions. If you prefer solo play, try Squad Battles, HUT Challenges, or compete against the current Team of the Week—great ways to brush up on your skills and make sure you’re ready to compete online or against your Friends. See if you have what it takes to win!

As you progress through HUT, you’ll earn Coins to acquire new players and packs. And as you get new players for your roster, be sure to choose according to their respective strengths: NHL® 22 utilizes HUT Synergy, which grants stat boosts to players who complement each other. Make sure your players are not only stars on the ice, but also have the right Synergy to successfully work together.

You can also challenge you Friends to online matches through Play with Friends. Battle it out on the ice to see who has created the best Ultimate Team!

HUT Rush (New)

HUT Rush Events feature 3v3, 5v5, or Threes games that can be played against CPUs or online. You’ll earn points for scoring goals or playing games with style. Points increase your tier: You’ll gain rewards for each tier you earn.

The variations will change three of the following features:

Game Type (3v3, 5v5, or Threes)

Gameplay Style (Arcade, Competitive, Traditional)

Gameplay Rules (offsides on/off, Moneypuck on/off, etc.)

Game Length (play to x goals)

Lineup Settings (play with your UT or draft from a set deck)

Lineup size (single line vs full line up)

Event Objectives (secondary bonuses like “Score Top Shelf Goals”)

Arena Settings (indoor, outdoor)

Synergies

Players who work well together create synergies that boos their abilities. Be sure to pair up players with the same synergy for the best results! Go to the Player Information Screen to see how these synergies are improving your players.

SQUAD BATTLES

In this new mode, players compete against other players’ teams, or time-limited featured teams. The higher you are on the leaderboards and the harder the difficulty, the better rewards you’ll earn!

ONES NOW

NHL Ones is a fast, back-to-basics mode that pits three players against each other in small, outdoor locations. Ones is hockey at its purest: in this free-for-all, no-rules gauntlet, each opponent must demonstrate their full range of offensive and defensive skills. Skate hard, aim well, and protect your goal!

ONLINE AND OFFLINE SHOOTOUT MODES

A goalie and a shooter trade off defending and taking penalty shots. In a series of five rounds, users can practice this critical moment from both sides.

PLAYOFF MODE

Start a playoff and see which real-world team can make it to the top. First, choose your playoff settings, including the number of participating teams, the length of the series (such as Best of 7), and the difficulty. Next, choose teams to fill out the tournament bracket.

When the tournament begins, you can choose to play directly, let the CPU take over, or simulate games.

NHL THREES

In NHL Threes, make your way across North America and compete in the Western and Eastern Conference circuits to unlock new players, arenas, logos, and jerseys. The Three Circuit can be played online and via local multiplayer, compete against Friends, or team up and take the Threes Circuits by storm.

SEASON MODE

Play in one of 11 different leagues for a full season. Dominate the season standings and lead your favorite team to championship glory.

PRACTICE MODE

Whatever part of your game needs improvement, NHL® 22 has you covered: Practice as a full team, free skate against a goalie, or play as a goalie yourself to fine tune your defenses. For a full review of the basics, try out each tutorial in the Training Camp.

World of Chel

World of Chel houses all the online progression-based modes in NHL® 22: Ones and Threes Eliminators, Pro-Am, and EA SPORTS™ Hockey League (EASHL). The XP gear you earn can be used in various World of CHEL modes.

EA SPORTS™ HOCKEY LEAGUE

Join a drop-in game for a quick EA SPORTS Hockey League experience. Select your favorite position, and our matchmaking system will find you the best available game. Develop chemistry with your teammates to eventually join or create a club as a group-this way, you can easily play with these friends on a regular basis. You can also unlock club-specific items via Hockey bags for our entire club to use.

Create a character to get you started: Customization options will be limited at first, but you’ll soon earn more as you progress. You can use your custom character across a variety of World of CHEL modes.

Hone your skills, play against other clubs, and work your way up the division ladder during the Regular Season, then compete in the Club Finals in our all new WoC Seasons. Unlock and equip Traits to further enhance your player’s Shooting, Senses, Puck Skills, and more. Two Traits can be assigned at a time as well as one Specialty which gives your player situation-specific advantages on the ice.

Not in a Club, or are your Club members not online? Play in 3v3 or 6v6 Drop-Ins for an authentic EASHL experience!

Note: Friends can participate in club games without joining the club.

Practice (New)

If your team needs some practice time before a big game, Club Practice has your back. Practice from the Dressing Room in 3v3 or 6v6 games in Scrimmages or Open Practice. In Scrimmage, your club will play against a CPU team with adjustable difficulty. In Open Practice, your players will take to the offensive side to work on their shooting and passing while your goalie warms up their defensive moves.

Free Skate, available from the Edit Loadout screen, is another mode you can use to test out player classes and new traits.

World of CHEL Seasons

There will be several WoC Seasons in NHL®22, each lasting several weeks. During a Season, players and clubs can climb the ranks to earn rewards! Each Season has three Phrases:

Season Starts

Open to all players. You’ll earn a rank for each WoC mode after completing your Placement Games- increase your rank further to earn more rewards. Clubs play in the Regular Season to climb the divisions and qualify for a higher-tiered Cup.

EASHL Club Finals Begin

Club Finals is a complete tournament takeover. Don’t have a club? No problem: Create a club with some friends, even after Club Finals begin! You’ll be locked into the Cup your club has qualified for, then compete for Rank Points for several weeks to climb the tournament leaderboards. All Club Final games are hosted in an outdoor venue, where clubs from all around the world gather to compete for the change to be crowned Champion!

Blackout Phase

This phase will last a few days while the leaderboard standing are verified. Season rewards are distributed at the very end of this phase. You can still play during this phase, but your results won’t contribute to any previous or future WoC Season.

Player Rank

Each mode of our Ranked Seasons (Ones Eliminator, Threes Eliminator, EASHL Drop-In, and EASHL Clubs) has its own ranked leaderboards. You’ll earn rewards for each rank you reach.

Club Finals

Once EASHL Club Finals start, compete in the 3v3 or 6v6 tournaments-or both! There is only one 3v3 and 6v6 champion for each Cup per season, but there are also rewards for your club no matter where you finish, such as Club Banners to show off at your home arena!

PRO-AM

Pro-Am is the place to practice and improve your skills! Each Pro-Am campaign features multiple 3v3 matches against CPU teams in which your World of CHEL custom player competes against theme-based teams made up of past and present NHL stars.

THREES ELIMINATOR

Compete in fast and fun, arcade-inspired, elimination style, single player or club tournaments in 3v3 matches. Eight teams enter, but only one will be champion!

ONES ELIMINATOR

Take your Ones skills to the test. Ones Eliminators pit you against 27 users, whittling each of you down until three remain to compete for tournament.

NHL Player Community Health

NHL® 22 is a game where anyone and everyone is welcome to play, but we need your help to create a safe and welcoming world for you all. Our new in-game reporting function lets you notify us of unacceptable World of CHEL Club, Skaters, or HUT Team names that may need to be removed.
