I'll be honest here: I mostly watch hockey for the violence. That doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate the intricacies of the plays, and the skill it takes to skate and handle the biscuit, but it's not hockey until someone’s slammed against the glass so hard it causes me to spill my beer all over my lap. So it pleases me to say that NHL 14 is the hardest hitting, most enjoyably violent hockey game I've played, even though players still lack adequate brainpower.
Last year's NHL 13 introduced new skating mechanics and physics, and this year EA Canada builds on that concept by adding a new dynamic to the physics engine: Collision Physics. It’s easier than ever to pull off a bone-crunching collision, and the results are more realistic. Now things like speed, weight, and position matter, so you can't just spam the hip-check button and expect to take a winger down. Instead, just skating into a player fast enough triggers collisions, so chasing down a puck can easily turn into a slam against the boards. It not only makes the hits more varied, but creates a more seamless way to work the body on the ice and make some big hits. I found myself becoming a more physical player because of it.
