NHL 22 is due to release in October and already we’re hearing about a brand new feature that takes its inspiration from the Madden franchise. Comicbook is reporting that the new Superstar X-Factor system will play a pivotal role, giving the game’s biggest names more of an edge on the ice.
EA’s very own Spenser Davis gives us a broad idea of what to expect from the new Superstar X-Factor system:
These abilities will affect things like slapshot speed, player speed, passing, and overall reflexes. No mention of any strength abilities that players can use to check their opponents into oblivion, but let’s wait and see.

Although Davis didn’t give up the ghost on who would get these new abilities, he did mention two of the games best in Auston Matthews and Connor McDavid and even gave a brief breakdown on how the Superstar X-Factor will work:
NHL 22 will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on October 15.
