PHOTO – Slovak national team chaos in the game NHL 23 – ŠPORT.SK

today 18:00 | Fans of international hockey or Slovakia itself have been waiting. Full-fledged national teams have finally been added to the NHL game, but complacency cannot prevail despite this. EA Sports and the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) established cooperation after many years of waiting, but it remained only very superficial and preliminary. At least that’s the feeling the international teams in the game create. It is not the first year where this shift has occurred, but many things are still not thought through. In the game, you can already find the official jerseys of the national teams as well as the logos of the unions or the national teams themselves. This year, Slovakia’s jerseys feature the logo of one of our portals, HernáZóna.sk. The Slovak national team is even in the game three times, but not once is it done to the complete satisfaction of the fans. photo gallery Slovakia in the game NHL 23 Source: ŠPORT.sk You can find the classic national team in the fast game mode, that is, the one we have been used to in the NHL for a long time. According to the ratings, almost all the best Slovaks from the game are in it. Why almost everyone? We’ll get to that later. You can add, remove or modify players to this team as you wish. Then we find the representation that is part of the World Hockey Championship mode. In it, you can play a tournament using the system used to play the world championship itself and, with a few exceptions, you have almost realistic rosters with which the countries played in the last championship. However, you cannot edit this team and add new players. The third national team is the junior team in the under-20 world championship mode, which functions similarly to the one from the senior championship. You can’t edit it either. photo gallery Slovak national team in hockey WC mode Source: ŠPORT.sk At first glance, it doesn’t sound like a problem, but it can be for Slovak fans. In the first mentioned classical representation, you have players who are in the teams and leagues in the game. And since there is no Slovak competition in NHL 23, some representatives are logically missing here. For example, would you like to have Adam Sýkora in your team? You can, he is in the national selections in both the World Hockey Championship and the Junior World Championship modes, but only in them. Likewise, for example, Pavol Regenda or Šimon Nemec. Since the game has not yet updated the latest rosters, we will not find them in Anaheim or New Jersey Devils, respectively in the farm. Even Juraj Slafkovský is not yet in the Montreal Canadiens, but still in TPS Turku. You cannot play with Adam Sýkor, Šimon Nemec or Pavlo Regenda in other modes or add them to the classic national team or another club. And at the same time, EA Sports would only need to do a small thing and allow the modification of the representations. We have three national teams in the game, but none of them are completely perfect, in which you can have the strongest possible composition. It’s a small thing, but it shows how little effort EA Sports has put into the hockey game for many years. IN THE PHOTO GALLERY YOU WILL FIND THE COMPOSITIONS OF ALL THREE NATIONAL TEAMS AS WELL AS THE JERSEYS OF SLOVAKIA >> Over the next few days, we will bring you articles in which we will show you the ratings of all Slovaks in the game and also whether they resemble each other at all. There is also one Slovak representative in the game, you can read about HC Slovan Bratislava here: Read also PHOTO+VIDEO: HC Slovan Bratislava won the Stanley Cup! What does the only one look like…
