I’ve gotten NHL every year since 04. This years game does feel a little better, animations are much better and the game feels more smooth. That being said, not trying to offend in anyway, but if money is tight, wait till Christmas. It’s a fun game, but not different enough from NHL20. I’m a Franchise mode guy, and did like a few of the changes, but still similar. Not to mention the lack of player likeness drives me nuts. Tk is an all star, the guy can’t get his actual face in the game lol? Yet they have the most random faces. Just a pet peeve of mine.
