Creating offense in NHL 23 is more difficult than in previous years of the series, whether playing online or against the CPU.

Earlier this month, the good folks at Steel City Interactive gave us our first taste of Undisputed with the first beta version. I had mostly positive impressions and a heightened sense of anticipation even though there was no concrete release date. As with most online betas, the goal was to introduce players to the control scheme, test the online matchmaking, and of course, gather feedback. Over the course of this first beta, several small tuners were added to help with matchmaking, which really helped us connect with other players. Once the initial beta closed, the Steel City Interactive team hosted a post-beta roundtable where the Creative Director (Ash Habib), Content Manager (Edward) and Global Communications Director ( Will Kinsler) talked about the challenges they faced and what their communication strategy would be as the launch approaches. If you haven’t had a chance to watch it, you can watch it here. With all that said, their content manager took to YouTube to reveal that a second beta of Undisputed was coming.
