NHL 18 introduces two major modes to its solid array of dated options. The near-revolutionary Expansion Draft takes center stage and needs to be incorporated by other sports games.

Otherwise, balance flaws and lack of innovative gameplay mechanics...
Legacy issues persist, but NHL 18 makes strides in a positive direction on many fronts.
