Comparison & differences between NHL 21 vs NHL 20 in gameplay, customization, career mode, & more:

NHL franchise has seen some improvements from last year to this year. The best improvement can be seen in character customization in the form of customizing athlete’s skating & shot styles. The shot styles let you choose from a collection of presets for wristers & slapshots, but the skating style of the game is more robust. There are a number of sliders available for tweaking stuff for example choosing the wideness of your gait or enhancement in pumping your arms, that can help you receive better variations. However, there is a problem with this attribute because you need to adjust a disturbing slider choice of “spine angle”. Other than customization, one of the most important differences can be seen in the ranking system, which is connected to seasons of play. The divisions in the game seem to work like a classic ranked game & could help in improving online matchups.
