Until recently, women’s teams in sports video games were relatively hard to come by, with the most popular sports game franchises not including any female representation. EA Sports announced it was making a conscious effort to improve this, notably with the addition of women’s teams to the world’s most popular and highest-earning sports game, FIFA, starting with FIFA 16. Since then, women’s teams have become a more common occurrence in sports game franchises, allowing girls and women to finally enjoy these games with better representation.

EA’s NHL 22 will finally get playable women’s teams in 2022. EA continues to add more incentives for hockey fans to play their latest sports offering. Before the game’s release, EA delivered an NHL 22 reveal trailer, spotlighting the Frostbite engine. The game’s recent 1.3.0 December Patch made the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) Tournament available, along with IIHF playoff OT rules and an updated International ruleset to reflect the new IIHF changes.  Other new features include a revamped World of Chel Hub and Social Widget, AR Broadcast, and overhauled stick physics.

Released on October 15, NHL 22 has given gamers more of the fast-paced on-ice action they've been craving. One of the best parts about the series is the ability to manage teams in modes like HUT and Franchise. With most teams only able to have one or two superstars, it's important to pick the right player to lead a team.

A new year brings with it another EA Sports-developed hockey title, with the latest entry being NHL 22. The long-running ice hockey franchise often gets caught in the same development rut that accompanies annual game releases, drawing ire from fans looking for major changes year-over-year. However, this iteration marks the first time that the NHL series has made the jump to current-gen platforms like PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X - and the changes that accompany that are noticeable.

The full release of NHL 22 is approaching quickly, and fans anticipating who would be the highest rated players now have an answer. EA Sports has revealed NHL 22's top 50 overall player ratings, so fans can now see which players stand above the rest.

A deep dive into NHL 22's Be A Pro and Franchise modes gives players a new look at the ice hockey simulator. The EA Sports series has enjoyed annual releases since its very first installment on the Sega Genesis back in 1991. This year NHL 22 will introduce gameplay improvements such as enhanced stick physics, realistic facial expressions, and unique X-Factor abilities for all players.

On the surface, NHL 22 seems mostly similar to NHL 21, but gameplay improvements under the hood will likely make it feel quite different. The new Superstar X-Factor system is a nice touch, but NHL 22's best changes may be its altered puck movement and controls.

A brand-new, 27-minute long look at NHL 22 details many of the improvements and changes coming to the  sports title. The ice hockey simulation series is a part of the EA Sports brand and receives annual releases, similar to the FIFA and Madden NFL franchises. NHL 22 promises gameplay and graphical improvements over its predecessors, including new mechanics such as Superstar X-Factor abilities and enhanced stick physics.
