NHL 24 is a hockey simulation developed by EA Vancouver and released in 2023 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. The game centers on recreating the physicality and momentum shifts of professional hockey through several new mechanical systems. The Exhaust Engine simulates player and goalie fatigue during sustained offensive pressure, affecting a netminder's reaction time as attacks accumulate. Physics-Based Contact allows for environmental collisions, including players being checked into the boards or over the bench. Offensive play is further refined through a Vision Passing System and Total Control Skill Moves. Online connectivity expands with cross-play support across all team play modes, while HUT Moments lets players reenact historic and contemporary hockey plays. Presentation updates include over 75 new goal celebrations introduced through Flex Moments, alongside an overhauled crowd atmosphere designed to reinforce the feel of a live arena environment.
