Hockey All Stars 24

Hockey All Stars 24 is a solid game all around. Customizing players, team jerseys and arena aspects makes the experience better. It really goes into the aspects of hockey, making the experience not only very realistic, but fun. The controls are smooth and easy to learn. I've only played a few days, and I already have a solid roster for how long I've been playing for. Upgrading players also helps a lot, and one upgrade can boost a line's overall by a good amount. I just don't see the three stars of the game to be right. One time I won a game 4-0, and the other goalie got the first star even though they shouldn't have. It happens pretty much all the time. Also, it is hard to get the puck from the other team's players, while my players lose them easily. The worst part is the energy, and how I have to wait to play again when it runs out. Also, I can't control the player when I'm on defense and the players change randomly, sometimes changing me to a player farther away from the puck, leading to the other team getting scoring chances. Also, some aspects are not like the NHL. For example, the penalty checking from behind doesn't exist. Also, I scored behind the blue line and it was offside, even though that would be a goal in the NHL. Other than that, I have no issues.

I enjoy playing this game quite a bit as it’s a good balance between building a team over time and actually playing the game with that team. It reminds me of a tycoon type of game with the difference being you get to actually use the team you build and not just watch the matches. Furthermore, the gameplay itself is quite simple and easy to understand, making the game easy and fun to play. My only 2 issues are: 1: In the higher ranked matches, the goalies are WAY too good. I’ve had multiple matches that have gone through almost 10 OT periods at 0-0 with 30-40 shots in the game. At anything above a 90 rating the goalies block breakaways, one timers, and even 3-on-0 challenges with absolute ease. 2: The #1 star of the game will be the opposing team’s goalie 100% of the time. I understand the player stars don’t really effect anything, but having a 4-0 win and still seeing the other teams goalie win first star because of 9 saves is just downright stupid. There is no reason the losing goalie should get first star, let alone a star position at all. If I have a 3+ goal game, the three stars should be the three goal scorers, not the goalie that lost the game

This is the best hockey game on the IOS store. I have never seen as good of quality game as this on mobile. It is an extremely versatile game and it has multiple modes so you can never get bored. It’s literally as good as FIFA mobile but it’s hockey. In some ways it may be better. The only thing that would be nice to add would be team logos and names of the players in playoffs mode but the logos may be copyright and the names may need royalties so if you don’t add it because of that it’s fine. No forced ads, so you only watch them if you really want something, and even though there are options to buy stuff, it’s not pay to win. So overall, an amazing game and I’m surprised it’s not on the top of the charts. Edit: With the new gameplay, I would say it’s even better. My goal tender finally saves shots, the board battles are really nice, and finally having intros to spend blueprints on is nice, as well as how well they look. A couple things though- the checking barely does anything except starting a board battle, and the ai always seems to be faster than you when you poke the puck and it goes flying away. The physics are much better, and if anything the game has gotten much better with this update.
