In NHL 26, Alex Ovechkin will naturally set himself up in his office on the power play
"For example, we've reviewed Ovi's historic trends and performance data and use that to update his character's attributes and tendencies so his skills are aligned with his real-life self. And AI Ovi, will naturally position himself in his patented power-play spot at the appropriate time. All together, that means AI players start to think, move, and play like your favorite stars."
"The YouTube shows several example of "AI Ovi" setting up shop in the left circle with his hockey stick - notably CCM-branded instead of his custom twig - raised to the heavens eager to clap a one-timer home. "AI Big Pro" (Aliaksei Protas's digi player, not "Be A Pro Mode") then slides a perfect pass over to Alexander "Videogamesimulation" Ovechkin for the goal."
"According to EA Sports, there are 22 unique tendencies at launch - "habits, built using NHL EDGE tracking" - that includes things like zone entires, reaction timing, defensive spacing, and shooting habits. For instance, when you play against the Oilers, you might notice that Leon Draisaitl will often shoot from sharp angles. Or maybe against the Avalanche, digi Nathan MacKinnon will be physical on zone entries."
NHL 26 integrates ICE-Q 2.0 with NHL EDGE Player Data to influence in-game performance and recreate player-specific tendencies. Digital superstars receive updated attributes and tendencies based on historic trends and performance data so they behave like their real-life counterparts. The game launches with 22 unique tendencies—habits built using NHL EDGE tracking—covering zone entries, reaction timing, defensive spacing, and shooting habits. Examples include AI Ovechkin occupying his power-play spot, Leon Draisaitl shooting from sharp angles, Nathan MacKinnon being physical on entries, and Jacob Trouba stepping up in the lane to deliver hits.
