    Don’t like the commentary.
    Why get rid of eddy o. and doc Emrick?
    Chelsea Dagger is still not in the game.

    Fans and players want to feel like their really at that game and scoring a goal hearing that song makes it seem more realistic.

    NHL 19 and 20 both are disappointing Ea sports should consider cutting some of the bs out of these games and give fans and players what they want!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I feel like I paid $90 CAD for what other game companies would call a downloadable update. The graphics have been largely the same for 5 years of this game. Instead we pay almost $100 for a roster update with minor tweaks. I wish I could return this game. Not surprising from EA though.… Expand

    Same game! Adding things that no one cares about, be a pro not even touched again. Only HUT for money making purposes is focused on

They Can't even add all the equipment players wear like the bauer re akt 95 and 150 helmet. All they did was change animations for goaltenders and shooting. Goal scoring is basically cross crease cheese or spamming one timers from the point. Skating is no longer physics based and there is no momentum in strides. Deking is still horrible. You can't do c cuts or 45 degrees or stride dekes like before. Old gen deking was the best. Playing online isn't fun at all. Glitchy and Hut is pay to win again. Facescans have gotten worse. Last year, every new player had their faces scanned had messed up helmets with their hair glitching and it tilting up on their heads. Now everyones head is tiny. Franchise mode is a fail, slow as hell, and is so unrealistic. We can't even upload custom rosters or game strategies.The entire game is an arcadic mess with unrealistic goals, penalties, and AI. yet people call it a realistic game. Having a penalty every poke check and stick lift attempt isn't realistic. It's garbage. AI is horrible. Especially on the special teams. Everyone just runs the 1 3 1 trap because your own ai will just skate into them instead of swinging to get open for a breakout. The camera angles suck. Theres no custom camera options. This game was hardly innovated at all. I want EA to see why we despise them as a company. Their greed for just a simple game update is beyond despicable. I live and die for hockey, and what they have done is create a game for the beginners who don't know hockey and just cheese the game.… Expand

    Legend says that there are 50 people in Canada that are very poor at gamedev and knows nothing about the hockey. All of them works for EA.
    Yes, the've managed somehow to add new animations, introduced defensive skill stick but it's not helping. And they did it because you have to do SOMETHING to resell same game every year.
    If you are an hockey fan then you'll play it - because there's    Legend says that there are 50 people in Canada that are very poor at gamedev and knows nothing about the hockey. All of them works for EA.
    Yes, the've managed somehow to add new animations, introduced defensive skill stick but it's not helping. And they did it because you have to do SOMETHING to resell same game every year.
    If you are an hockey fan then you'll play it - because there's no way to go.
    And thats whats this game is about - rip some money from desperate hockey fans. Once by buying almost the same game every year, and second from ingame store.
    Yest, that game is pretty much Pay-To-Win nowdays - if you want to be competetive in HUT you have to pay extra. And pay for almost every new event or youl'l have to do a lot of heavy grinding.
    Pretty example: one objective is to earn 1000000 squad battle points, for each win on highest difficulty you can earn around 2000 points - if you win and if you win by 5 or more goals an small little extra. Each match is taking at minimum of 20 minutes. So, you need to spend 1666 hours of battling hardest CPU to get 4 collectible.
    And you need to spend 9 of collectibles to get card with good stats like 89+ OVR.
    Yes - almost 70 days of constant grinding and you still can't buy single best card.
    Don't forget that you will spend a lot of time in auction house. So HAVE FUN.
    Thats for HUT. Outside HUT there's still plenty of bad thins.
    Still, for years, 30% of time in game you'll be watching cutscenes - and most of them can't be skipped. Watching the same crowd every single faceoff makes mi sick.
    Pass Assistant should be be named "random pass disruption", learning how its works was an disaster when i was learning. I play mostly without them because sometimes closest player is one on the bench and you'll be passing nowhere.
    A lot of gamepley is directly connected to the animation system - even passing and changing players - and it's very unnatural.
    Yupe, the game is extremly unfriendly to all new players. Controls are instane if you play for fist time, ingame tutorial teach you almost nothing. Matchmaking sux as hell. I'm getting bored after scoring 5 in first period but most thinks "lets see if i can make 20:0", because 80% of players are playing this game for decades.
    I've started with NHL 15 and NHL 20 is last for me, unless game will be totally redesigned.    … Expand

    EA puts little effort in improving the NHL series mainly because they don't need to because there is no competition and they know you'll buy it anyways since they are the only hockey game on the market.

They keep advertising full control of players which is still a massive lie as the gameplay is tuned and balanced in batch not per individual stat. So again you will have games where you get an advantage and games where your players are complete dorks. Online is filled with gamers who love all the loopholes of poor design and are happy to exploit them to nausea and call that skill. In a game with so much control taken away from you by momentum harvesting you are pretty much helpless to play anything that resembles hockey. Apparently exploitable cheats are what these gamers think is skill. I cant see why EA cant just let the stats be the stats and stop having sliders easily manipulated by exploits ruin the game. It's sickening and can't wait for a rebuild of this mess or a new software company, hopefully a kickstarter group to make a game worth playing. Expect to buy the only product available and have these problems its clear the model is cut and paste and the game designers have an overwhelming sense their game is not as godawful as it is. In my opinion you cant get a worse gaming experience. The game is so broken there are constant tuner changes all disrespectful that they are practicing attempts at software on your dime. This game is so bad I'd even hint they at times take out Nhl 20 and replace it with an earlier version maybe even NHL 16-18 while they'd attempt to make changes to the real NHL 20. Current tuner is NHL 20 1.20 suggesting this may be Nhl 16 with 20 updates. Feedback on the forum is useless they have place forum terms which does not allow qualitative constructive criticism. No customer service numbers either. Do yourself a favour and stay clear.… Expand

    EA has still yet to figure out how to scale difficulty modes in a way other than increasing the AI speed and stick checking ability. Players with 95 speed should not be caught from behind by players with 78 speed on ANY difficulty, only to get stick checked. It's lazy and pathetic that they have yet to figure out a way to make AI smarter.

What kind of matchup is that when my best centre is Mika Zibanejad? Also, in EASHL mode where you create your own player, the algorithm never matches my character to any drop in match no matter the parameters. This is an atrocious game on all levels.

    Same game as year ago. Basically you can still play NHL 17 and have the same fun. Another update for full price. Little improvements. By the way, I still have PS4 for only playing NHL. This year I will probably skip NHL 21. Next year probably there will be "next gen version" for PS5. And I don't wanna buy ps5 for only crap like this!

    Don’t expect a revolution. Yet, it is a very good episode with a lot of improvements, which will be noticed when playing regularly. Whether it's a better puck shooting model, a more detailed manager mode or arcade gaming in CHEL mode. [Issue#300]

    In terms of technical achievements, the game is almost flawless. Animations are fluid and natural, without the small stutters from the NHL 19 edition. Nevertheless all the new modes and details are not a revolution or even major changes. [12/2019, p.69]

    At its core this is still a good hockey game. But it is streamlined too much towards arcade-action while offering basically the same content as last year.
