NHL 25: Skill Based One-Timers Explained
The release of the annual hockey title is one that players have become accustomed to over the years, and EA has turned a corner on the series.
With new innovations each year, this time around is no different, with some unique features being added such as the new Ice-Q technology, which is going to go hand in hand with the Skill Based One-Timers.
EA has noted that this new feature is as follows:
Thanks to ICE-Q opening up more offensive opportunities, the new Skill Based One-Timers really shine.
Anchored by a new in-game visual indicator that identifies a teammate as a target for a Skill Based One-Timer, when passing to a teammate you’ll need to input the shot control as the puck arrives. The timing window to nail a Skill Based One-Timer is dynamic and takes into account how fast the pass is traveling, as well as the shooter's abilities like the One T X-Factor.
If timed correctly you’ll unleash the Skill Based One-Timer, which is more powerful and accurate. If your timing is off, the shot’s accuracy drops, raising the stakes and making the action all the more exciting.
