I think it would be a great idea if we could choose a role in franchise mode like in Madden. Coach (lines and morale), gm (trades, draft, contracts/free angecy) and owner (relocation or rebranding, budgets managing, hiring staff). And maybe add mode where you can control everything like this year.

I like the hire/fire staff idea with retired players being available for hire. Bog franchise fan haven't bought since 2017 because it's always been the same thing. I'll buy again if they ever do cross platform with a PC version

If EA wants me back in the fold: 1. Finally bring the game to PC... 2. Seriously step up the franchise mode 3. Offer online franchise mode like the old NHL2K games did.

The thing about 2k is it teaches you about basketball and in myplayer and my gm it actually has realistic depiction of what it means and takes to be a NBA player or management. I didn’t like basketball until I started playing 2k and NHL should have the same goal.

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.

You guys nailed it. This year had so little to be excited for that I don't even know why I bought the game besides the fact that I buy it every year. Be a Pro could really use a massive overhaul, because when you compare it to other games, it's at least 5 years behind.

The new presentation and commentary is the biggest reason I upgraded from 19, the new energy is fantastic and it gets me into the game way more

Seeing the Yotes as your selected team in Franchise Mode makes me very happy as a Yotes fan. Thank you! n_n

I love to lnow about things! Teach me about NHK 20!

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.

Quiz idea: The hardest hockey quiz Rules: No strikes, 10 questions, the bonus question is a question with more than 1 answer and if there is a tie at the end the winner is the one who does the best in the bonus for example the bonus is name the teams in the nhl from worst to best in the standings last season and say 2 people get 9 right the one who did best in the bonus wins, other than that just questions that would be used as final Boss questions. LIKE SO THEY CAN SEE.

One thing I like about the gameplay as well is how the goalies have different animations

Thank you for mentioning the menus and the music...

I miss the ability to play online franchise mode with you’re friends. Being able to draft a team and then play against them was TOP TIER and they need to bring it back ASAP.....

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.

The line chemistry is a life saver. You can make bottom 6 guys grow like crazy simply because of chemistry with coaches and other players, which to me seems rather realistic

I keep getting “failed to retrieve data” when i try to play online!!! Been happening for a week and cant seem to fix it

Great review guys. I don't know if it's the Atlanta Jersey but the dude on the right looks like Dustin byfuglien's son. I've been playing the NHL games since the very start this is the first one that I actually haven't bought the day of. I will buy it because the hook for me is playing with Legends and putting them on current rosters and mixing up rosters that's kind of fun. But I'm going to wait till like Christmas or after Christmas with a games like 20 bucks

I've always skipped a year when buying sports games. With that being said, I love it (so-far) compared to 2018.

Is DZ Lewis Hamilton's long lost brother?

In franchise mode this year one of the players on my 1st line asked for more ice time

I really like this honest review with great explanation of reasoning. Thanks

I'm in Australia and at least half of the time I can't find an opponent or online player in any given mode. Damned timezones I guess 😣

Still waiting on a new quiz... but great review!

So if you go into collection on hut you can search that player specifically from there and it filters for just that player.

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.

I still wish you could change the arena/venue like in other games (FIFA, et al) like Winter Classic stadiums past and present (Notre Dame Stadium WC was awesome in person, would be dope in game), and I’m sure you Canadian folks would love to use the Heritage Classic venues too

One thing that gets overlooked a ton is goalie customization. Preset helmets generally look awful, and it’d be great to make your own like Forza lets you with car decals. Maybe one step further and let us do it was the pads too, and be able to download community-made designs.

This is the first hockey game I’ve played since WG’s 3D for N64, and the biggest upset to me is the fact that in 2020, I can’t choose what arena I play in for a quick play, which is insane to me because every other sports series I know let’s you do that.

Hope the NHL devs see this. I really agree that changes need to happen in almost every mode. Dynamic cutscenes in be a pro would bring a lot back to it. Changes in franchise, hut, and world of chel would keep me more engaged. The game has only been out for over a week and I’m already getting bored because it’s just like the last one. I hope the devs care enough to see this video and take notes. There are still a lot of NHL fans out here!

Anyone else notice how, in the World of Chel game mode because there's no audience, it just cuts to a view of a helicopter literally every time there's a stoppage in play.

I do like Franchise mode a lot and appreciate the changes, sure training would be cool but it isn’t a deal breaker for me.

Z with the Hamilton hat... very nice.

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.

5:43 has me cracking up 😂😂😂

In Be a pro mode there should be more options where to play in before the draft. Like i dont always wanna play in the memorial cup or the chl i wanna play in like finland or sweden before i get drafted

The only question I have for any new hockey videogame: How does it compare to NHL94 on Sega Genesis? That’s all I want, and after 28 years, I do expect EA to have everything perfected by now.

Little late on getting the game... but can someone tell me why James decided to go with a Larry David impression for the announcing

Why not have an option every game to make it Stadium (Outdoor) (Winter Classic) or just normal arenas?

I wish theyd make goalies have more active sticks. Like every pass through the top of the crease shouldn't get through bc it doesnt irl

Watching Phil Kessel lift the stanley cup with the Kachina on his chest really did something for me.

What I want is a choice of playoff modes, like, yeah its cool to play for Lord Stanley, but Id love to do playoff runs for like AHL teams or some of the European leagues instead of hopping in and having to grind out a whole season every time I wanna have a playoff battle.

Absolutely did not expect to see my Belfast Giants at 1:15

Hopefully we keep the game play like this next year and developers can focus on other features and game modes

I would like to see EA do something with the winter classic.

They oughta have new banners (stanley cup, conference, etc.) for franchise mode or otherwise.

If they had a pond like 2Ks neighborhood and you could skate around and hop on the spot to play. That Would be sick

can u review the alternate jerseys for this year?

Nice Thrashers shirt!! :D

No one remembers back in like NHL 07... you had the same chemistry system plus hot and cold streaks... even a neet newspaper thing over major things... like trade for a star get a newspaper, win the cup you know some cool stuff

Missed opportunity when you were showing the fifa pack reactions. You should've used @W2S when he broke his tv with his chair

I only have NHL 17, so for me that’s a big upgrade 🤙

On a different note, one thing I wish the NFL games would include is the option to play the CHL, other games you can play in different leagues, just not Madden

0:01 i mean sure why not all these sports games never change

Well, I lnow I’m definitely early.

I started a franchise BUT with all alumni teams. Meaning Quebec and the North Stars. And the odd time with the announcer you'll get Snoop Dogg

Wish they’d bring back the winter classic and all star game especially with the 3 on 3 format
