A game mode that absolutely needed to be updated to give players a reason to play it and consistently put the time into it, Be a Pro has been a pleasant surprise this year. NHL 21 has finally revamped their Be a Pro mode and that alone gives it a better rating in this category than the 6.5/10 rating that I gave NHL 20. The ratings of NHL 21’s Game Modes is based on the variety of game modes provided as well as their depth.
It’s safe to say fans probably aren’t looking for anything revolutionary in this regard, but they would undoubtedly like to feel like the game they purchase isn’t simply copy-and-pasted from the previous year. One area where NHL 21 does feel stale, however, comes in the menus where things are the same they’ve been in recent years.

It’s hard to make changes to a classic but NHL 20 explored new avenues with their scoreboard, with animated overlays for goals and the like. NHL 21 has succeeded in creating an excellent presentation that captivates and impresses more than ever before. NHL 21 is beautiful and a lot of the presentation, from the scoreboard to the commentators to even the narrative elements to certain game modes that didn’t exist in prior games, blend together perfectly. Ratings of NHL 21’s presentation are based on how realistic the game looks as well as the atmosphere the simulation places you in. The way a lot of the player interactions in the game work are also very familiar and similar to NHL 20 which is a little disappointing, but not a deal-breaker.

There are still glitches in NHL 21 that see players bodies contort in strange ways that don’t physically make sense. NHL 21 has continued to build on this and its been an all-around good experience in that regard. NHL 20 aimed to create a more realistic goaltending AI that would cater more towards reality than previous games had. One area that saw improvement from NHL 20 to NHL 21 was goaltending AI. NHL 21 continues to slightly improve on the flaws in technology from NHL 20 but didn’t regress or create any unnecessary changes that ruin the experience. Though fans will always find reasons to complain, there’s no denying that the transition in mechanics from NHL 18 to NHL 19 and even from NHL 19 to NHL 20 were noticeable. New skill moves in NHL 21 include: Board Bank Self-pass, Flip Deke, Behind the Net Self-pass, “The Michigan” Lacross Deke, Slip Deke and “The Kucherov” No-move Deke.ĮA Sports NHL 21 David Pastrnak screenshot (Image courtesy of EA Sports) With extra attention to detail and new skill moves added, players should be entertained. On the surface, though, the mechanics feel smooth, technically-sound and fine-tuned from past iterations of the franchise.
As is the case with just about every video game ever created, there will always be room to improve and areas for technology to create solutions. It’s hard to tell how the mechanics of NHL 21 will feel days, weeks and even months down the line. The mechanics rating is based on facets such as skating, hitting, and the overall physics of the game. Without further delay, then, here is the review for NHL 21.

Still, with fans craving hockey and free agency rejuvenating interest for fans, NHL 21 should serve as a nice stop-gap between seasons for fans. This year, the game is launching just a few weeks after the Tampa Bay Lightning were crowned victorious as Stanley Cup Champions and only one week after free agency kicked off. Typically, the game would release in a similar time-range to the NHL’s regular-season kicking off. The circumstances surrounding the release this year are different than they’ve been in the past but that shouldn’t hinder the experience for fans whatsoever. NHL 21 is finally out and available to play for fans of the franchise looking for an updated version of one of their video games.
