NHL 21

Career mode is garbage and a major downgrade. One of the most anticipated modes this year and it was a huge letdown. EA promoted the fact there is a story line and cut scenes but it is just a time waster. Cut scenes are too long and repetitive. Thanks to the cutscenes it takes about 20 mins to simulate a season in be a pro. Also, if you get injured, you cannot see what the injury is or how long you will be out for. You also cannot see any teams cap space. I would give be a pro a 3/10. Franchise mode I'd say is the best mode but still needs some work. I've created super teams and miss the playoffs and vice versa. Goalie ratings mean nothing and real time sim compared to regular sim produce different results. Overall I would give the mode a 5/10. The gameplay itself is decent. The AI still makes stupid mistakes but is a improvement from NHL 20. 6/10 On gameplay.
