NHL 20 or 21

[BOSOX2004]

Title says it all. Even with the issues, do people like NHL 21 better?

It depends. I as an Franchise mode only Player with my massive Roster of nearly 300 self created Players stay with 20 cause they haven’t implemented Roster transfer from 20 or a share function. The Trade deadline clock isn’t worth to buy it for me. They also added only 10 new Player likenesses. That few never was before cause usually 30-35. This means when I deduct the retired Players I have lesser face scans in NHL 21 than in NHL 20. For many maybe not important but for me it is. What I saw in the Trial is that the Gameplay is not that massive better as in 20. Also the same boring old cutscenes and also this since years same Goalie masks.

Easy decision. NHL 21. The gameplay is much better than 20.

If you not demanding to have a deep Roster and you don’t want to spend some weeks many hours of your time to create and edit Players in Franchise mode than you are maybe right. If it has for you the worth it is ok, for me it has by far not.

Sorry if slightly off topic but is there an ability this year to edit players attributes while playing a franchise? I am just a control freak so like to edit players if they are doing well in real life. Thanks!!!

What I have seen in the Trial it is not. You can only edit Players before starting a new Franchise, but not during you play the Dynasty mode. The same as in NHL 20. I as a Freak would also like to edit the EA Player faces from EA generic Player cause they are looking many times far from real, but unfortunately they let it not too.

Gameplay wise, it's not even close. Makes you realize how bad 20 was.

Dammit. I spent an inordinate amount of time creating players to complete a full alumni league with no dupes in NHL 20. Was planning to play it the rest of my life lol. But now...maybe I'll find a friend who bought it and try it out first, before I throw away all those hours...
