![]() Both NHL Ones and NHL Threes offers a fun distraction from the other game modes and puts a pure, distilled version of the sport front and center. Like the small competitions from previous seasons, you compete on half-sized rinks against the CPU (or other players) to try and climb the ranks in battle royale-style tournaments. NHL 20 also introduces the new Eliminator mode to NHL Ones and NHL Threes. Like HUT, World of CHEL has weekly challenges that unlock cool rewards when completed, and that addictive drive to keep playing to make your character better, stronger, faster, and looking sharper is plenty of reason to get you to log daily play sessions. The Pro-Am matches drop the player into a Threes game with NHL stars, or you can enter challenges with alongside or against other gamers around the world. The player grows in skill with XP, and new equipment and animations can be unlocked. This mode lets you create a player and take them out into a competitive world of Pro-Am and NHL inspired events. The World of CHEL, which was one of the best additions to last year’s game, is back and even better. Even a casual fan can build a solid HUT team in a few short hours and then use that team to unlock better and better players. Much like what Sony did with this year’s MLB: The Show, EA is giving gamers the good players early and not keeping them locked away with near-impossible challenges, creating a better play experience overall. It’s addictive, and the thrill of seeing an NHL Icon card pop up in pack is awesome. I’ve spent entire gaming sessions just playing HUT, completing challenges, and more, just to keep building my team. For hockey fans, this drives you to keep playing, keep collecting new stars, and then taking the team out into the world with couch or online play against other gamers. ![]() Completing daily and weekly challenges unlock rewards of new card packs and even high-rated “loaner” players, so just by doing your “dailies”, you can unlock an 87-rated Ron Hextall in your net for 10 games. Over 400 NHL Icons were added to the game, which makes team building more fun and allows you to get a solid squad of amazing historical NHL players on the ice much quicker. ![]()
