![]() ![]() All of the same ways to pry that cold hard cash from you are still present, but perhaps more than EA’s other titles, NHL remains pretty fun even without funnelling a single cent into the mode. HUT in and itself actually looks surprisingly similar to last year. It has a Battlepass Progression system, and you can gain numerous levels in a short stretch. It’s also a good way to gain rewards for HUT quickly and without spending money. #Nhl 21 next gen Offline#You can play it both in online and offline modes and, honestly, it’s pretty fun. ![]() HUT Rush is a new mode that combines the arcadey style of Threes with the traditional sim style of regular HUT. One completely new mode is located within – hold your surprise – HUT, aka Ultimate Team. We wouldn’t be surprised to see it completely absent as early as next year. Yes, Threes still exists, and the online versions are still kicking – and still fun for some arcade hockey – but the Circuit is clearly just dead weight at this point. It hasn’t changed in a couple of years now, and there are no longer even any Trophies connected to it. It’s also worth noting that the Threes Circuit mode is well-and-truly abandoned. Again, nothing on the ice is different, but all of the in-between moments seem to be in a better place now. Franchise Mode is also largely untouched but does include some changes to stat tracking and coaching staff, as well as the draft process. Most other modes don’t fare quite so well, with many like Shootout, Online Versus, Threes, Ones, Single-Season, and the like remaining mechanically identical to last year. While mechanically, the game plays just like it always has, the number of bells and whistles added to the BAP mode are legitimately impressive. You’re challenged to either go get an important goal or lock things down to preserve the lead. And your coach calls you aside to challenge you mid-game. There’s also a vastly improved stat-tracking system, which finally brings back all-time records and franchise records, which have been absent for something like 15 years. But you always have the option to go the safe route, and offer the safe answer, basically being a personality black hole. Talking big has it risks but if you back it up, you can make basically everyone except opponents love you. Likewise, if you’re selfish with the puck, they won’t stick up for you if you get clocked. If your teammates don’t like you, then they will be less willing to get you the puck. You have to juggle the balancing act of impressing your team, management, and the hockey world in general, and upsetting certain groups impacts on-ice performance. Your personality impacts your perception both on and off the ice, too. While it would have been cool to see things fully voiced and acted, this is still a large step. You conduct lots of interviews and have conversations with teammates, but it’s all conveyed solely in text. Not to say there isn’t room for improvement. Your rise from the minor leagues is tracked, with analysts and news reporters discussing you, your performances are discussed in more colourful terms as opposed to just looking at a chart, and generally, the mode just feels more in line with its peers at long last. After being a static, tepid mess for close to a decade, the mode has finally received an injection of personality. #Nhl 21 next gen update#Most obvious and most noteworthy is that Be A Pro has seen its first update in approximately 84 years. ![]()
