EA needs to put more content in. Update Be A Pro with a story and more dynamic commentary spotlighting your success etc. GM connected. RosterEA needs to put more content in. Update Be A Pro with a story and more dynamic commentary spotlighting your success etc. GM connected. Roster sharing. Better UI UX. BUT the gameplay is good and Franchise Mode is deep and fun. We need something special in the end of a GM's career tho. The ability to set your own sliders is why I keep playing.I don't even touch HUT or any online mode so I won't include it in my rating.

Control is awful. Players can do not what you pressed. For example player can make high-sticking instead of one-timer slap-shot.AI looksControl is awful. Players can do not what you pressed. For example player can make high-sticking instead of one-timer slap-shot.AI looks like cheater. If he decide that you shouldn't make goal than you can to forget it. If he decide to hit your goal he'll did it anyway.And as usual we have loot-boxes in HUT. Cost a lot, drop is small.Graphics and game-play like NHL 19.Looks like EA just set new number in name of game and sells it.

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.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.

NHL 20 on Xbox One is a great hockey game with advanced physics, new exciting and engaging game modes, better transitions and replays and finally some new commentators; it really is EA’s best hockey game yet.

It's the best it has been in a long while. The additon of coaches is a cool idea but could need some work. Gameplay does feel a lot betterIt's the best it has been in a long while. The additon of coaches is a cool idea but could need some work. Gameplay does feel a lot better too. As someone who never plays HUT I found myself diving in. I'm yet to spend a penny after many hours and mainly stick to the single player mode.
