BLOG: McDavid inspires new skating mechanics in NHL 19

EDMONTON, AB -The only way to skate like Connor McDavid is in the virtual world.
Hockey fans and gamers alike will be able to do just that in EA Sports NHL 19, which includes updated skating mechanics - tabbed Real Player Motion technology - inspired by the Oilers captain.
"RPM tech opens up a ton of doors for us when it comes to new skating in our game," said EA Sports Gameplay Producer Ben Ross. "We didn't have to look any further than McDavid when it comes to real-world NHL players that can inspire us."
The new technology incorporates realistic skating aspects, including crossovers and redefined edge work to allow for more control, creativity and acceleration in the gameplay.
