The developers really seem to have ticked off all the boxes - and then some. There isn't much to complain about with NHL 20. The player models may look the same as last year's game, but animations have been improved and the new broadcast package adds new graphics (as well as solid play-by-play and color) to the overall experience. It feels tighter, faster, and complimented by new animations including Signature Shots. Just as important as adding new ways to play is the way the game feels. It's even added local multiplayer support for the ONES mode, offline outdoor pond mode (yes, even with NHL mascots!), and an updated Franchise mode for coaching and trading players. CHEL Challenges in the socially-driven World of CHEL mode adds weekly in-game events spread across several modes, in order to unlock fun customization rewards, character XP, and more. Another highlight includes the Squad Battles mode (perhaps borrowed from EA Sports' FIFA games) with refreshed opponents daily, a weekly Featured Squads group consisting of NHL players, musical artists, and athletes from other sports, and up to 400 industry Icons. You can play by yourself in a last-man (or woman) standing game in NHL ONES, or join a squad of three in THREES and try to win four back-to-back elimination rounds against increasingly competitive opponents. Just like Fortnite: Battle Royale drops you on an island with 99 others, NHL 20 Eliminator pits 81 players against each other in a survival tournament bracket to be crowned the ultimate winner. The new modes bring a lot to the game, especially with Eliminator, a highly competitive winner-takes-all game inside the beloved NHL ONES and NHL THREES modes. NHL 20 looks, feels and sounds like there were vast improvements made in every feature. This year's installment in the popular hockey franchise feels like a massive overhaul that fans will love as soon as they strap on their digital skates. That includes a battle royale-esque Eliminator option in NHL ONES and NHL THREES modes, where you'll play solo or team up with friends to take down the competition, and Squad Battles, a new introduction to the Hockey Ultimate Team mode that lets you compete and earn big rewards in offline battles. Along with a new TV-like broadcast treatment (including new play-by-play and color commentary) and Play Of The Game highlights sizzle reel, there are all-new game modes to indulge in. There's also enhanced goaltender artificial intelligence (A.I.) including predictive analysis. EA Sports is touting several new features for this new game, tied to the 2019-20 season, including more than 45 new shot types (called "Superstar Signature Shots") that look like they were delivered by the real players (as well as many other new animations). Directly based on the National Hockey League (NHL), this new PlayStation 4 and Xbox One title lets you play as or against your favorite hockey stars and teams - even from yesteryear - with a handful of solo and multiplayer modes (whether you're beside your adversary or playing against them online). EA Sports has just hit the ice with NHL 20, the latest installment in the ice hockey franchise.
