    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.

      EA DOES NOT have exclusive rights to the NHL games. 2K simply doesn’t want to make them because the 2K NHL games weren’t selling enough to justify making them.

      @@OneTeeGlory i do realize that. But my main point is there is no competition to push the company to make a better product. Just like madden is stale now. NBA 2k is the same now. Every year is a recycled feature brought back from way back and a roster update.

      They could’ve uploaded the nhl 18 or 19 review and I would t know the difference. When the nhl 21 trailer first came out, I wasn’t sure if it was a fake fan made trailer until about a minute in. WhT does that tell you EA? You greedy lazy con artists keep puttin out the same game and charging 60 dollars a bunch of crooks! After 2 days of playing this game I already felt bored of it and the slight changes they made blended into last years and I was already used to it as if it was last years game.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • @millionfish

      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.

      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.

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.
