Customers are saying

Customers regard NHL 21 favorably, particularly praising its impressive graphics and improved gameplay. Many also appreciated the price point and the enhanced "Be a Pro" mode. 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 franchise is on the right path with its newest updates to game play and menu systems. The NHL 94 mode is a fun little treat along with the HUT Rush system. The new Be a Pro update is entertaining but can make simming weeks in advance a hassle as you get hit with challenges. The challenges only make or break you if you're just starting out.

    For whatever reason I always purchase the latest version of NHL. I wish you could continue to download the current NHL teams rosters as the season progresses instead of having to purchase the newest release.

    Bought this for my son and he seems to enjoy it very much. He and his older brother , who lives out of state , play it online. It is very similar to the last one but they like it.

    It is a good game but like most of these games there are some AI deficiencies. I bought this used and am glad I waited. Look forward to see what they do with the new gens

    Better then nhl20...I had issues getting through game to work properly though. But the poke check is better as well as the late hit calls. At the under $30.00 price its awesome!

    Fun to play, difficult to master. It takes a good deal of time to learn the ins and outs in order to play well, but enjoyable once you do. Get it if you like hockey.

    Great bargain on deal of the day. Nice way to update without paying too much for a game that doesn’t change enough to justify the ++ cost.

    Great game. Like to updates they have from last year. Being able to choice your team or even playing the game out to get traded works well!

    with the addition of a few new features, basically the same game every year just with new uniforms, rosters, etc. still fun to play though.

    Awesome graphics. There are times when I swear there was ice coming out of my screen. The audio almost sounds like you're at the rink.

    EA strikes again. Like Madden, there is no real competition. So, they punch out a new edition each year that is not necessarily new.

    It's not much of a difference from NHL 20. It plays smoother and everything loads in better, but it looks exactly the same.
