- New physics-based engine which ensures that each bodycheck is unique, adding realism to the game.
- New face-off system which introduces the ability to switch between standard or reversed grip and to puch or block the face-off opponent. Timing will be key in face-offs.
- New passing system in which passes are triggered at the release of the trigger button, instead of the initial pull. The longer the button is held, the harder the pass will be.
- New user-controlled goal celebration.
- Players have the ability to jump over prone players.
