Expansion Mode is also available, with the user adding a 32nd team to the league.

Cybulski and Ferraro will be joined by other celebrity guests such as rapper Snoop Dogg for certain games. Cybulski and Ferraro replace the NHL on NBC duo of Mike Emrick and Eddie Olczyk.Ĭonsequently, the NHL on NBC graphics package and score bugs have been removed and replaced with a generic EA Sports graphics package and score bug. The game features a new commentary team, with James Cybulski as the play-by-play commentator and Ray Ferraro joining the broadcast booth as color commentator after spending the last several versions of the game as a between-the-benches analyst. Because I have a strong feeling that EA is just gonna keep on doing what they do– not give any * about what their lifelong fans and customers desire.NHL 21 Xbox One Version Full Game Setup Free DownloadĪBOUT THIS GAME NHL 21 introduces new game modes such as Squad Battles in Hockey Ultimate team. I just wish I knew how to design and construct video games.because if I at least knew enough about what I was doing, I would base EA’s on-ice gameplay design as a template and just add new features like the ones you and I (I’m sure MANY others too) have been looking for. The in-game/on-ice mechanics and dynamics of EA-designed games are solid for the most part. You know why? Because they are technically a monopolistic entity-there’s no other company that produces NHL video games (market-competitive). You can still create teams in the recent (18, 19, and 20) NHLs but in this new half-assed tournament mode that EA is apparently sticking to, you can’t even substitute any of the freaking teams!!! How pathetic is that!!? Welp, EA decided it just wasn’t as valuable and fruitful as something like, ya’know, adding yet more of the same lackluster tweaks to the online features or just more childish installment features like mini 3-on-3’s. There are other great features, as well, that EA has decided to “laze” out of the game entirely, such as the international tournaments–possibly my favorite feature of all time. They have been the same old rinky-dink cartoon logos for almost two decades now. Just look at the logo choices they have “provided” over the years. For the most part, however, EA has merely proven to be the ignorant, lazy company they truly are by making absolutely NO substantial, positive changes to this particular feature. I have obsessed over the Create-a-Team feature for as long as I can remember playing NHL.
