NHL 20 doesn't try to fix what wasn't broken and instead added new modes, features, and gameplay tweaks to make one of the best sports games on the market even better.
NHL 20 is the best the series has been this console generation. Improving upon the changes made in NHL 19, the game has never felt better. The changes may seem subtle, but they really tighten up the gameplay enough for it to feel better than its predecessors. Besides the distracting scoreboard, the presentation has received the same treatment, truly immersing you in the action on the ice.

The skating is flawless. The passing is precise and so much fun especially when pulling off successful one timers. I highly recommend this hockey game. I feel in complete control of my character. The game is well polished and I love the commentary. The Franchise mode is where this game shines and it is greatly well improved from Past NHL games. Checking and stick lifting are well timed. The game flows like real hockey. The in game presentation is sweet they display career and season point totals. When a player scores 50 goals in a franchise home game the entire building goes ballistic the crowd erupts. I may not buy another hockey game in years this game is so good.

NHL 20 is a nice addition to the NHL franchise, with engaging gameplay and great visuals. The multitude of game modes will keep you occupied, even if several are very similar to one another. It gets as repetitive as the typical sports game, but that can be good or bad depending on your interests.
Depending on the mode you like to play, NHL 20 is a winner or a loser. The on-ice action improves thanks to the reworked shooting system, and the World of Chel arcade modes gain a little more depth. However, the frustrating lack of changes for EASHL and Be A Pro undermine the popular modes.
NHL 20 is a good hockey game that would have been even better if it had more new and brave features. EA is taking the comfortable road again this year, and frankly we're starting to get a little tired of that approach.
NHL 20 isn't a huge update over last year's version, and its graphics continue to lag behind the competition. Still, it brings with it plenty of solid refinements, and its franchise mode continues to stand out as a strength. Returning players may be disappointed by this year's features, but if you're a hockey fan who hasn't picked up the series in a while, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
NHL 20 sees Franchise mode take a welcome step forward, while other areas have either remained the same or actually gone backwards. The new commentary makes it clear that different does not mean better, and all the slick new animations in the world can’t hide poor AI. We feel like a broken record saying this, but the NHL series is in sore need of a comprehensive revamp.

solid gameplay, AI needs some improvements and animations could be improved, but overall solid game (i've played consistently since NHL 11 and a majority of the older nhl games, skipped 15 for obvious reasons) this game is way better than a game like 18 and better than 19

i like the game, but its way too much like NHL 19, im pretty new to NHL game so as the years go on, if nothing changes, the game will slowly start to get worse and worse for me, smooth gameplay, but make some changes, these ratings of 3s and 4s are understandable, not worth anything better than an 8

Avoid this game. I’ve put 12 hours into it and I’m going to switch back to playing NHL 19. The new scoreboard is terrible, the new play by play is terrible, and the new franchise mode is terrible. It’s just all around terrible.

Are you serious? Its NHL 19 with another color menu, new useless score line in the bottom of the screen and new voice of commentary. Nothing else. The same ugly menu and interface, same ugly jersey choice and ridiculous camera view after referee stops the game. I am so dissapointed, this is a spit to face of old NHL fans. GTFY EA.
