While it holds up some similarities to NHL 20, there is enough to go into the rink, lace up your skates, and hit the ice.

NHL 21 Review – On Thin Ice
I appreciate the shots that NHL 21 takes at improving the formula, but at the end of the day, most of those shots are too little too late, and end up making the overall experience just barely better than mediocre.

For better or worse, NHL 21 lives up to the same quality of work it's known for in previous generations. While there are some attempts to push the series forward, the ones that could elevate it to the next line fall short of scoring any significant points. Just like most EA sports titles, you'll enjoy this if you're a hockey fan. Just don't expect too much, as it's pretty much another roster update with small quality of life tweaks.

NHL 21 is an exercise in consistency, providing the usual improvements to graphics, sound, gameplay, and features while having the usual hindrances. Be A Pro is the real All-Star of this game but like every pro on the ice, there was still room for improvement and falls short in some very easy to notice ways.
