I bought it yesterday, i’ve been playing for just 2 or 3 hours and i’m both happy and disapointed. The gameplay is a lot better imo, really funny and better than 19. I like the new commentators, they are not better than the previous , but i like them. The HUD is HORRIBLE, the new score board should be on the top of the screen, seeing it in the the bottom really bothers me. We dont see the faces of the commentators in the beginning of the game like in nhl19. The removed a lot of FUCKING GOAL SONGS. WTF EA, you are getting 60-70€ per game every single year and you are not able to buy the fucking song rights. Are you kidding us? And the last negative point for me is the fucking price, 69.99 is a fucking joke. Im glad to have bought it on xmast sales for 39, and its still expensive.

Thoughts from me. I’ve been playing since NHL 12 and a lot of things have been dropped. Like you mentioned, they should add drills like fastest skater, and accurate shooting to practice mode, franchise mode and be a pro. If they add training to be a pro to boost your shooting accuracy or speed, that would give training a reason to be in the game. Also, they should bring back NHL Moments Live. It would be a welcome addition back to the menu. A minor addition to the menus would be a quick max or min option for gameplay sliders. You could use gameplay sliders to do a lot of funny things, but it takes too long. Having a max or min button would make things roll along a lot faster. More alumni would be better like Bobby Orr, and Mike Bossy. Lastly a new mode. I’m thinking of more chaotic but fun modes, like 12 man ones. That’s all.

Glad I'm not the only one bothered by the menu being the same thing every year now! Miss how different it was year by year from NHL 08, 09, 10, 11 and also features different players in the background too. Also with the soundtrack I wish it would have more songs and more of a variety to it as well. Also with the soundtrack i feel its weird that the NHL series ever since it went to the current generation of gaming systems also doesn't give you the option of going through the soundtrack and turning songs on and off, actually seeing the soundtrack, changing the song if you want to listen to a different song, and when a new song does start (also going back to not being able to actually see the soundtrack) you don't see the artist song and album which I feel sucks for the player not being able to see the info for the song (especially if they like it) but also for the band I guess not getting proper credit.

Good review, and my two cents on why they add some new things and change some things but don't change sooo much stuff and also leave some things from previous years never even play or really see each different mode of the game. Like I only own NHL I consider myself to play a lot and last year I played CHEL and online verse the year previous played HUT year prior played online verse and tried season etc.

I really buy chel because of EASHL... every year it's the same, but they actually remove stuff more than they add. Remember when you could change your stick blade type in 14? Or when you could choose the edge type of your skates? The different choices actually changed the shooting stat for the blade type and the skates would change the amount of acceleration, speed or agility accordingly. We also used to have practice mode in EASHL. If I needed to practice my shots with my buddy, we'd just hop into practice. Same with practicing as a goalie... Instead of screwing up in a drop-in, we could just practice. Some features I'd suggest: If there are more than 6 people on, someone always ends up being left out. We should be able to have line changes for this reason. Facescan! PLEASE! Not that crappy Gameface EA had for FIFA, but something like in NBA2K. With today's technology it should be easy to implement. They should also add national teams with the World-Cup and Olympics to "Be A Pro" and some lower division teams. This would really add a TON to the mode.
