Customers are saying

However, some customers expressed disappointment with the lack of frequent roster updates throughout the season. The game's realism and AI were also noted, though with less frequent commentary.

    The hockey games are usually fun gameplay, but does not vary much from year to year.

    Step up from the last two years. Love the outdoor rinks and Three mode.

    It's a good game but I feel like the game play in these NHL games is getting worse each year. I'd still recommend this purchase but don't have high hopes.

    Just a typical NHL game I don’t play all the other modes like I used to. I really only like to play EASHL so I waited until it went on sale.

    It's a copy paste situation for this franchise since about NHL 14. The game plays fairly well, AI defense is terrible, as always.

    Not much different from NHL 20, so, unless you want to pay for updated rosters, it's probably not worth the purchase.

    It's the same NHL game EA has been putting out for the last 5 years. Nothing really new to it. EA needs to completely redesign this game from the ground up. It feels "old".

    Same trash game as the previous 3 years. EA never fixes the issues that need to be addressed. If your a avid NHL series player you know what I’m talking about. Especially online versus.
