IGN rated Olympic hockey nagano 98' a 0/10 stating that they will bother writing a review once the developers made a new game. I wish they were still that savage lol.
They're incrementally better every year. I usually buy a new one ever 2 or 3 years and then it feels like a real improvement. I'm really hoping that next year's NHL will be overhauled for next Gen systems.
I believe that there’s someone inside EA that hates Isaac Newton. Every single sports game the company produces has poor physics! Sudden change of direction, no inertia, no acceleration...
I appreciate the fact that the ign scores are starting to get lower, but, why not more lower? They are producing a Copy+paste of the same game, and that alone should result in a 4 or lower. The only games in the ea sports franchise that recently got it is the switch versions of FIFA 21 and FIFA 20.
I'm obsessed with hockey, but would buy a new boxing game over this no question right now. and ive played hardcore since NHLPA 93 on SNES. Hell forgot about blades of steel
I still play NHL 18 on PS4 and I still like it, I also play NHL games on PS3 sometimes. I was disapointing because EA won't release NHL games on Switch, that would be awsome to play portable hockey game.
Nhl 21 is great people just whine because they can , dont listen to negative ign or the butt humper viewers who agree on the garbage , storymode in be a pro is the best thing that happened for nhl
It's my first nhl pickup since 15' and my bolts grabbed the cup so I'll enjoy it. Sad that a once every 5 years is needed to enjoy their product but hopefully next gen will show improvement
I bought a discounted NHL 20 earlier this year - the first time I’d played it for a few years. I literally played it twice before deleting it.

It’s nothing short of incredible how EAnhl gets away with releasing the same game every year for the past decade. I mean, no new animations, no new player models, nothing. Not sure what their budget for this game is every year but that could be a problem. Like just fix your shooting animations. Players in real life absolutely do not look like that when they shoot a puck. And how the puck interacts with the controlling players stick is the type mechanics that we saw in other games in the early 2000s.
NHL 20 came free to me. I went into the store to buy the game, a controller and modern warfare I believe. I couldn’t believe the price for all three items. I looked at the receipt and sure enough the guy forgot to scan it. Walked out without another word. Lol.
My Honest Review Rating: 7/10 -Soundtrack is garbage -Same bugs -Game is incredibly slow at times -Player ratings are definitely a little higher and sometimes lower than expected
I have zero complaint i turn off the commentary i adjust the sliders when needed . I dont play online i can update team rosters when needed. I dont care if my player cant have dreadlocks or a certain visor .i just take the team i choose trade my superstar players and build my team up from the bottom. Therefore I'm fine with this game i think its great!!!! Greetings from buffalo ny
The game is decent but I understand the frustration. Still, it seems they try harder with NHL than their other franchises even though it's got not even a fraction of the budget with a smaller team. Yes. The game is still pretty end to end and the flow is pretty much the same as the last few years. Goalies are better for sure and AI is improved as well over 20 in both opponent and teammate. I don't like how after NHL 19 they nerfed the crap out of Dmen . Point shots are still basically useless so no one even tries them anymore. Every rush is just looking for the one-timer . I wish the gameplay encouraged more cycling and strategy which is why it kinda feels more arcadey at times. I buy this game every year. I don't think I've missed an NHL game in a while. There's some I missed from EA because I jumped to NHL 2k for a few years (2k4, 2k5, 2k6) Also had 2k on Dreamcast. The excitement has been kinda dwindling this gen for the franchise. I have way higher expectations next gen but what I really want is 2k to come back and get another shot at a hockey title. I always thought EAs game was more arcadey.
I don't think 2K will come back because of not having the licenses, they're too focused on other franchises like NBA, and their NHL games towards the end didn't sell well.
@@millionfish EA doesn't own the license for NHL. It's all fair game. Anyone can make an nhl game. You're right though. I don't think the money is there for anyone else to jump in and take the reigns. NHL doesn't make the money most other franchises do and going head to head with EAs established franchise is a risk. Another competing game is the only way this game is going to truly evolve. Maybe one day..
It’s funny how gamespot gave this a 9 for X1 and some site Stevivor gave it an 8.5. Saying it’s a great game. But if you look at the PS4 reviews the highest is an 8. This is why gamers get pissed and call out reviewers when you see scores like this for a game that hasn’t really changed in years. I used to love the NHL series. But once NHL2k went bust EA stopped having to try. Same thing for Madden and FIFA. At least when NHL2k was around it forced EA make big changes. It lead to the control stick. Before the control stick was added NHL2k was actually doing quite well. Now I haven’t bought an NHL in years. It’s sad as I used to love career mode or franchise mode. Back then little things like breaking real NHL records in the game were kept or you controlled the price of things. I’m sure those things are still in there but haven’t been expanded upon. Imagine what an NHL game could be if EA put in the effort instead of adding game modes that revolve around HUT.
The only thing I dont like about this game is that teem USA uniforms are wrong and have been for as long as I can remember you would think they could get that uniform right
My biggest issue is that you can get beat by a player that is less skilled by them just b lining it to a corner and throwing a perfect cross crease pass one timer to beat you continuously while letting the ai play as the defense for them.
I HOPE THEY PUT IN THE NEW HOCKEYTOWN LOGO, THE BLACK SEATS FOR LITTLE CAESARS ARENA AND WELLS FARGO CENTER, THE LITTLE CAESARS ARENA COVER UNDER THE SCOREBOARD AS WELL AS THE 4K FLYERS SCOREBOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Does anyone else feel as though the shooting in NHL 21 is utterly unsatisfying? You can’t seem to shoot the puck as fluidly or as accurately as in say NHL 19, and it feels as though one timers are the only way to score often.
What's so bad about how they make the NHL Games is that every year they make a new one and they forget about updating the other games and then my game just gets too outdated.
Did the fix the "Big hit = Instant Fight"... Even if that player has to skate from a completely different area zone instead of whomever is in close proximity... EA needs to lose their license to Madden, FIFA, NHL, UFC, STAR WARS, and many other... Holding these titles hostage is not the way to earn revenue
that’s what’s so annoying about NHL 20..you can outshoot your opponent, dominate them in time of possession, passing, face offs, etc, but it just comes down to who had more 2 on 1 opportunities. plus the penalties are so wildly inconsistent it’s hilarious. one game I’ll get 5 tripping penalties, charging penalty + game misconduct, then the next game nothing.
@@davebernard2951 Yea but the way I play stays the same, I may poke 10-15 times one game and not get one penalty, then the next game 10-15 times again and get 5. I feel like it’s often just completely randomized. The hitting from behind/charging calls are also completely random..you’ll see a blatant charging penalty not called, then the next game same exact play it’s called with a game misconduct.
@@funtimes8296 if you only allow 10 shots on goal with less than 5 minutes time on attack the whole game, but lose 4-1 due to four broken plays that result in 2 on 1s, does that make you bad on defense?
I’m usually somewhat in defense of EA NHL but 2020 feels and looks just like 2019. Pretty disappointing and after taking tournament mode out 6 years ago how have they not brought it back?
man I almost couldn't agree more minus the fact that you didn't mention anything to the franchise mode which was basically nothing and the fact that the glitch goals are still the same as last year if you know how to do them right I don't know if I would have gave it a six I'd probably give it a four but that's because I've been playing the series for so long and it's sad to see your situation currently
I honestly hate nhl so much these days, I won't waste anymore money on it. Just watching this review makes me feel that nothing has changed in the past 10 years.
Cause it’s true. That’s not hockey. Hockey isn’t that fast pace and there’s not that much goals in a game. Commentary is nothing like this in real life, and the players and goalies animation don’t look natural. If you love arcade games this game isn’t that bad. NHL 21 is basically NHL Threes now.
The issue is no competition anymore. With buying licenses they don't have to strive to make anything great. Most NHL fans will buy this just because its a new version. No different then what madden does.

You poke chek not at the right time me i get rarely penalities . Hit from behind is misconduct and 5 min dont blame the game
@@davebernard2951 Yea but the way I play stays the same, I may poke 10-15 times one game and not get one penalty, then the next game 10-15 times again and get 5. I feel like it’s often just completely randomized. The hitting from behind/charging calls are also completely random..you’ll see a blatant charging penalty not called, then the next game same exact play it’s called with a game misconduct.
@@davebernard2951 Also get better at defense and don't allow 2 on 1s.
@@funtimes8296 if you only allow 10 shots on goal with less than 5 minutes time on attack the whole game, but lose 4-1 due to four broken plays that result in 2 on 1s, does that make you bad on defense?
How many times they have to remake this game.
I’m usually somewhat in defense of EA NHL but 2020 feels and looks just like 2019. Pretty disappointing and after taking tournament mode out 6 years ago how have they not brought it back?
man I almost couldn't agree more minus the fact that you didn't mention anything to the franchise mode which was basically nothing and the fact that the glitch goals are still the same as last year if you know how to do them right I don't know if I would have gave it a six I'd probably give it a four but that's because I've been playing the series for so long and it's sad to see your situation currently
The cross ice one timer is still a glitch? Ugh. It’s all people can do online most of the time. Then they act like they’re Gretzky
Once a generation, 2K should come out with an All Pro Hockey, games like these are better with options
How i can remove that yellow line near the scoreboard?
Very weak game this year and feels like 2020 with very minimal changes. At least bring back tournament mode they took out 6 years ago
I honestly hate nhl so much these days, I won't waste anymore money on it. Just watching this review makes me feel that nothing has changed in the past 10 years.
I returned this. I'll stick with NHL 19
I’m not buying this until they bring back the All-Star game 😢
So this is the year they took out. Draft Champions mode.
1:38 is all I needed to see to confirm 100% I’m not buying this garbage game again. 2 years in a row.
Still lightyears ahead of Madden.
Do rosters update automatically in franchise mode?
WHAT IS THIS BLASPHEMY OF OVECHKIN ON THE FLYERS
Guy reviewing a hockey video game: “iT dOeSn’T fEeL LiKe rEaL hOcKeY”.
Cause it’s true. That’s not hockey. Hockey isn’t that fast pace and there’s not that much goals in a game. Commentary is nothing like this in real life, and the players and goalies animation don’t look natural. If you love arcade games this game isn’t that bad. NHL 21 is basically NHL Threes now.
