What do you mean the start of NHL season is only a month away"! It feels like just yesterday that I turned over my glowing review for NHL 19. At the time it felt like the biggest breath of fresh air that sports gaming had received in recent memory. Can the 2020 installment build on that promise or will it whiff on this ever-critical shorthanded opportunity" The answer to that question likely hinges upon the length of your memory.
Hitting the Rink
As we skate onto the freshly resurfaced ice, it?s hard to shake the feeling that NHL 20 suffers from a serious case of déjà vu. Fortunately, this sensation doesn?t necessarily apply to the gameplay itself, which has received a couple of notable enhancements to the RPM technology that redefined the feel of the franchise last year. Countless new animations have been added to the repertoire, which greatly helps sustain the flow of attack, especially when attempting the much-maligned (and arguably, previously neglected) one-timer.
