NHL 20 New Features
RPM Changes And Improvements
The latest layers of EA's Real Player Motion technology introduces Signature Shots for the league's top stars. This brings the unique shots of NHL superstars into the game, including Matthews' toe-drag wrist shot and PK Subban's heavy and powerful slapshot. Alexander Ovechkin's smooth-as-butter one-timer has also been brought into the game for NHL 20. There are hundreds of new shot animations, and RPM also addressed passing and puck pick-ups with the objective of creating a faster and smoother play experience.
Additionally, goalie AI has been changed with a "full offensive threat analysis" so players won't get as many cheap or scrappy goals.
ONES and THREES Eliminator
This year's game will introduce a new way to play ONES and THREES, and it's called Eliminator. It's a winner-take-all competition that introduces the popular battle royale concept. In Eliminator, 81 players compete against each other in a survival tournament bracket. The same concept applies to the THREES version of Eliminator.
Broadcast Package
EA completely rebuilt its broadcasting package for NHL 20 and introduces new commentators:local Vancouver radio personality James Cybulski as the play-by-play guy and color commentator Ray Ferraro, who moves from the Pierre McGuire role between the benches into the booth. That’s in addition to new motion graphics, scoreboards and overlays.
Furthermore, a "Play Of The Game" feature "brings memorable plays to life through highlights designed to put top moments on a pedestal for both your teammates and opponents," per EA Sports.
Hockey Ultimate Team and NHL ONES
The popular FIFA Ultimate Team mode Squad Battles is coming to NHL this year. Here, you can pit your squad against a weekly featured team designed by influencers, celebrities, or professional athletes. Furthermore, fans can play with a new group of hockey Icons, which now numbers over 400.
CHEL Challenges
More World Of Chel Customization. EA adds 1,100 new customization items to the World of Chel this year. The changes include two new categories – baseball caps and face masks.
