NHL 23 Gameday Tilt are the cards with values based on real-life game performances. The cards are usually dropped around select NHL games.

They are dropped during the season and the card's value reflects players' performance in the game. The items are usually available for a limited time around featured games. 

The gaming community had complaints about them dropping too late in the season. Despite their willingness and desire to grab said cards, they couldn't grab them on time due to the time zone differences.

There were also concerns about it being expensive following its initial launch. The 24-hour notifications provided to the fans were one of the complaints raised by fans as well.

Here are the top 10 ranked players in the upcoming NHL 24. 

1. Connor McDavid | C | Edmonton Oilers | 95 OVR
2. Nathan MacKinnon | C / RW | Colorado Avalanche | 94 OVR
3. Auston Matthews | C | Toronto Maple Leafs | 94 OVR

The NHL 24 HUT deep dive trailer was released on September 22. There has been the inclusion of HUT moments in place of HUT challenges.

The major change would most definitely be the HUT moments where fans can now experience the historic moments in NHL history firsthand. 

Does there exist a hockey fan who wouldn't rejoice at the thought of experiencing the historic records set by the legendary Wayne Gretzky?

What's more, is that the HUT moments will not be limited to past legends but include the most recent plays that fans can relive. EA has cited updates with more such moments to be added.

Another major change would be the cross-platform economy allowing players to make trades across different same-generation devices. 

One of the major features highlighted for the NHL 24 was the updated objectives tracking system promising more efficiency in the rewards system for the fans.

The changes made to the X-factor card are of note with each team getting one X-factor card assigned instead of them, unlike the previous iterations where they were assigned to a few well-performing players. 

NHL 24 will be available from the 6th of October across multiple platforms. Here is a full list of X-factors confirmed for each of the NHL teams.
