“This is definitely the best feeling and playing EA SPORTS NHL
hockey experience in the franchise,” said Sean Ramjagsingh,
Executive Producer of NHL® 20. “RPM Tech unlocked a massive leap to
our gameplay innovation last year, and by adding Signature Shots
and dozens of new shooting, puck possession and goalie animations
we’ve been able to take it to the next level in terms of how fast,
fun and true-to-life the game looks and feels.”
NHL® 20 introduces the next major innovation in Real Player
Motion (RPM) Technology powered gameplay through innovative new
animation blending that allows players to execute shots, passes,
and puck pickups at full skating speed, creating faster, more
skilled and more fluid plays up and down the ice. In addition,
Signature Shots replicate the most recognizable shot styles of the
biggest NHL stars, including P.K. Subban’s booming slapshot
wind-up, Auston Matthews’s half toe-drag wrist shot and
Alex Ovechkin’s seamless one-timer. Additionally, new
contextual shot animations make shooting more lifelike as players
use new tools to get the puck on net. RPM Tech also allows for new
goaltender A.I. logic, including a full offensive threat analysis,
allowing netminders to read and react to the development and threat
level of each zone entry.
NHL® 20 also introduces an all-new competitive way to play ONES
and THREES called Eliminator, a winner-take-all competition
inspired by battle royale. ONES Eliminator pits 81 players against
each other in a survival tournament bracket en route to crowning
the ultimate winner. In THREES Eliminator, players can squad up
with friends and battle their way to the top of the leaderboard
against increasingly competitive opponents.
Continuing to deliver a fresh feel to the franchise, a revamped
broadcast package featuring Vancouver radio personality James
Cybulski and TSN broadcaster Ray Ferraro delivers new play-by-play
and color commentary to NHL® 20. This new system paired with
overhauled scoreboards, overlays and motion graphics, all built to
put players in the center of the game’s biggest moments. New to
NHL® 20, ‘Play Of The Game’ brings memorable moments to life
through a highlights package designed to put stars in the
spotlight.
Fan-favorite game modes Hockey Ultimate TeamTM and NHL ONES
return with exciting new options and updates, including the ability
to play ONES via local multiplayer with class-based NHL stars,
creating the opportunity to challenge friends to a 1v1v1 battle at
any moment. Hockey Ultimate Team introduces a new way to play in
Squad Battles, the highly acclaimed mode from EA SPORTS FIFA that
allows players to compete and earn big rewards in offline battles.

bringing the total number of collectible and playable Icons to over
400.
