Other than that, however, EA's team did a splendid job with the presentation. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's a bit hard to ignore. Like, one player will look dead serious one second and then flash to a weird, orgasmic victory face the next.

There are occasional glitches where players and fans will glitch into one another, and other times where the facial reactions are a bit.odd. That's not to say the graphics are perfect tho. It sure looks like hockey, and better than it has in previous years. I'm happy to report NHL 19 utilizes this better than ever, whether it's watching a player crumple from the impact of a check (a lot of those here) or seeing someone glide across the ice as they attempt to set up a successful one-timer for the game-winning goal. This has fundamentally changed the game since its introduction, making it look more lifelike than ever before. If you live and breathe hockey in any regard, this is absolutely the game for you.įirst off, let's talk about that animation system, in which Real Player Motion (RPM - yes, that's a thing) is put into use. And as a result, NHL 19 feels like the most thorough offering from the team to date. While some may complain that it doesn't do enough to make it feel entirely new, I see it more as an improvement of the formula as a whole. Fortunately, EA's NHL team has managed to retain the balance in what works while still adding the things needed to excel the series the right away.
