Super Stars will rise this year to the porch - In an interview with NHL 22 producer Clem Kwong

The latest part of the nhl series introduces madden ​​familiar X-Factor features to the wafer audience. The abilities of superstars are emphasized when their individual skills are raised to a special leg.

Consolefin interviewed nhl 22: N producer Clem kwong by e-mail on the subject.

It s in the game!

Are you different from nhl: n x-factor characteristic madden ​​corresponding?

• We made changes to the feature as the tempo of American football and hockey differs considerably from each other. In the hockey, individual events do not emphasize the same way, so we had to approach Zone and Superstar abilities slightly from different angles. The abilities are bonded to the field situations. On ice, events and field exchanges occur so quickly that the player does not start the talents separately.

Is there any fun background stories for naming X-Factor properties?

• We tried to have fun with naming. They had to be descriptive and of course related ice hockey. Some were very easy to come up with, but I remember, for example, a truculence word, which I did not actually have ever used and I had to look at it from the dictionary. Olo was as if I was at school again.

Online Games (link nhl 22: n pages with listed X-Factor players) marked in the field somehow to identify them more easily with the game?

• Yes. Players with Zone or Superstar abilities are marked with a clear logo. The markers also appear if specialty is used or when they are ready for activation.

What is the power output of Zone and Superstar property?

• Zone abilities only give the league star players to boosts, with their best solved games while Superstar abilities are reserved for teams firstnames. Superstar abilities are not as effective as Zonen responded, but still gives a clear power output compared to the ribbons.

Is X-Factor abilities always available or are they in a moment after use?

• X-Factor abilities do not require a use break. As long as the player is just in the correct box or in the right game situation, the feature is activated. During the design process, we tested a kind of ice-up break during the design process, but it hampered too much for the availability of the property because in hockey events and the fields roll in such a rapid cycle.

How do you consider that NHL remains a team sport, and the star players do not dominate field events?

• Good question! Although the X-Factor feature raises individual superstars, it also affects it greatly to work in the team. For example, in the ability of franchise, there is a big effect on the field of field co-chemistry. One player with SuperStar is just a small boost, but the greatest benefit will be available by adding complementary players in the same field. X-Factors emphasize teamwork, not the other way around.

NHL 22 will be published on October 15 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S | X.
