NHL 18 is a ice hockey simulation developed by EA Canada, released in 2017 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The game centers on offensive creativity and defensive precision through two new control systems: Creative Attack controls and the Defensive Skill Stick, both designed to reflect the style of contemporary NHL players. A standout addition is NHL THREES, a fast-paced, arcade-influenced 3-on-3 mode that offers a more casual alternative to the standard simulation experience. The Expansion Draft feature allows players to build and manage a custom 32nd NHL franchise. The title also emphasizes multiplayer, offering a broader range of cooperative and competitive online and local options than any previous entry in the EA Sports NHL series.
