    New Jersey Devils fans will have the option of buying the cover with Jack, Luke and Quinn Hughes or one edition with just Jack on the front

    This is a huge accomplishment for the Hughes brothers, as this is the first time that three people have graced the cover of an NHL game. EA Sports had the chance to do so with the Staal brothers, but since they didn't, the Hughes' get the honour.

    Jack [Hughes] had this to say about being on the cover

    "It was a very proud moment for all of us when we saw the Deluxe cover,"

    Luke [Hughes] was also asked and he said

    "Being on the cover with my brothers is incredibly exciting,"

    Like every year, EA sports also announces changed that are being made to the game. This year, it seems like they have revamped some aspects of the playing experience with their new ICE-Q gameplay.

    It also looks like there could be some changes coming to Franchise Mode. In a press release from EA Sports, they mentioned some changes that were being made.

    "Fan-favorite Franchise Mode also gets a revamp, starting with the Franchise Hub, featuring streamlined navigation that gives players access to new, relevant and easy-to-digest information. This elevated Franchise Mode user experience is just one of the many updates coming to the mode, with more announcements coming in the weeks leading up to the worldwide launch."

    Stay tuned on what other gameplay changes and mode-specific changes are made over the coming weeks. Be sure to follow @TheClapperton on X for all the NHL 25 updates.
