![]() There are two ways you can shoot the puck in NHL 21. I opted to choose the ‘hybrid’ setting that makes shooting via the face buttons much easier. I remember playing using the analogue sticks wasn’t as difficult when I played NHL 13 all those years ago. I first tried to play the game using the right analogue stick, but my aiming was well off. You can map the controls so you can shoot using the face buttons, or you can strike the puck using the right analogue stick instead. The first thing you can customise the controller to suit your own playing preference. One other great thing about NHL 21 is the fact that the game caters for gamers of all skills. ![]() If the graphics look good this year, I cannot believe what they will look like next year. If you’re one of these players, you might be better off waiting until NHL 22 comes out for the newer PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles next year.Įven though NHL 21 is only on PS4 and Xbox One, I thought the graphics of the game on Xbox One X looked pretty good on my 4KTV. That being said, gamers that have played the series annually for the past few years might feel some franchise fatigue. For a person like me, NHL 21 offers a lot of new content that wasn’t available when NHL 13 came out. NHL 21 does not feel like a stale entry for a player like me mainly because I didn’t play a hockey game for PS4 and Xbox One before. ![]() I even managed to beat my brother several times in the game, despite not knowing many of the rules about ice hockey at the time. I remember NHL 13 being fun at the time even though I was a newbie to the series. The last time I played a game from the franchise was NHL 13 back on the Xbox 360. Much like FIFA and Madden, the series has been released annually for nearly the past three decades and it has no sign of slowing down.ĭespite the long history of the series, NHL 21 is actually only the second time I have played the franchise. Pre-ordering each version will unlock one, two, or five in-game Unlocked Hockey Bags respectively while the Deluxe and Ultimate Editions will also include a HUT Cover Athlete Choice Pack (Choice 1 of 6) and three days of early access.Īre you a fan of the NHL video games? Does a lack of an Xbox Series X version disappoint you? Let us know in the comments below and then follow us on Pinterest and Twitter for more Xbox gaming content.The NHL series from EA Sports has been going on for a long time now. NHL 21 is available in a Standard Edition, a Deluxe Edition, and an Ultimate Edition. Fans will need to wait until August for the title’s official, full reveal. No official NHL 21 video or imagery is available just yet though. The Xbox One version will also support 4K Ultra HD when played on an Xbox One X (and the Xbox Series X) so gamers will still be getting a premium experience. As the statement confirms, the Xbox One version will be playable, like most Xbox One video games, on the next gen console. ![]() The lack of a native Xbox Series X version shouldn’t be that devastating to fans of the series. “You’ll still be able to play NHL 21 on the next-gen consoles through forward compatibility but we are fully focused on launching NHL 21 on the Xbox One and PS4 and look forward to the opportunities the next-gen systems will bring in the future.” “For NHL 21, we made the decision to focus on adding innovation and new features rather than the resource-heavy task of porting the game to new console technology,” the official statement reads. The digital pre-orders for the numerous editions of the upcoming NHL 21 video game went live earlier today for Microsoft’s Xbox One family of consoles and they were accompanied by an EA announcement confirming that no native Xbox Series X version is being made.
