NHL 19 Open Beta
EA Sport Open Beta von NHL 19 ist für alle Spieler offen. Die Beta läuft vom 26.07. bis zum 02.08.2018. "The World of CHEL expands on the EA Sports Hockey League with a unified progression and customization system across new and returning modes, customizable classes, and fresh looks for your create-a-character that showcase your personality while playing online.", heißt es von Mitchell South (EA SPORTS NHL Writer).
In der Open Beta könnt ihr euren eigenen Spieler kreieren. Euch werden dazu in der Beta "twelve skater or three goalie classes that determine your ratings, abilities, and playstyle". "[...] traits that impact attribute ratings, and specialties that give your team boosts in certain situational moments" werden von euch ebenfalls ausgesucht werden. Aber denkt dran: "Traits have positive and negative impacts on skater performance, such as the Booming Slapper trait, which boosts your players’ shot power, but also decreases accuracy. Specialties can give you and your teammates bonuses in particular moments, such as a stamina increase after scoring a goal. Keep in mind the size of your player when determining your strategy, as height and weight affect skating speed, skating style, balance, hitting, and other attributes."
Außerdem können Spieler in der Beta neben dem brandneuen NHL ONES-Spielmodus die Modi THREES Drop-In, EASHL Drop-In, Clubs und Online Versus mit den 31 aktuellen NHL-Teams ausprobieren.
