It was the last year that the Be a Pro let you play a full season in the junior prior to get drafted, which made the draft result more accurate toward how you played that season. Be a Pro haven't been that fun ever since unfortunately.
I only played 683 hours 😭 And this was such a good game now they just focus on Online (CHEL,HUT,ETC) Not the whole game anymore this was so good And can you re-visit NHL 17?
Same, it did have a good soundtrack too! Most people now would say no but.. 20 was one of the best menus I had (I had only 16, 19, 20, and 24 sadly) but 15 was the BEST one.
i think the pandemic made us all nostalgic about the game. great video, even tho i don’t necessarily agree with the term masterpiece, considering there isn’t much difference between 19 and 20
Nah EASHL was awful this year. Its not great now but the customization is way better. I can make a true dangling two way or a sniping power forward. No unique builds were possible in 20 it was so pathetic and marathon man was even more rampant than the modern elite edges(which should be nerfed)
The newest game, NHL 25, is coming out worldwide on October 4th so I’d honestly just wait for that. If you want to play any NHL’s now you can with EA Play or if you have GamePass
@@bostonwarrior4824 My BAP wishlist: Skip/Turn off cutscenes AHL back in the game Ability to play a full season in the CHL Make things a bit easier for goalies
@@Legoface660 agreed. I'm not totally against cut scenes, but they get old real quick. Give me an option to set it to skip them if I want. And yeah, CHL & AHL was awesome. I just started playing 2020 BAP again and started at 15 years old. I'm now in my 17 yo season and finally worked my way to the first line. I love needing to grind my way through a few seasons of CHL before I'm draft eligible. It's awesome to experience gradual skill improvement over time. Feels more satisfying. One other thing I'd add is the ability to practice as my BAP player.
Fr, felt fitting to get this out now especially before the 25 news. Need to get some people together for one last 6v6 game before the servers go down 🤞
NHL 25 is way better than 20. If you say otherwise you are just looking back with rose tinted glasses or have never played NHL. This was the last year with the horrid Be a Pro we used to put up with because NHL 15 destroyed NHL and now we are slowly rebuilding.
I disagree mainly on the passing and movement I feel were better on NHL 25, just seemed more fluid. NHL 25 is lowkey clunky, guys constantly messing up dekes, incidental contact at an all time high, CPUs playing Defense for you. idk NHL 20 just fit my playstyle for a game better tbh
Who else agrees 24 is stupid? Completely a mess, the glitches and how it can be all over the place where you and your team one game can execute the simple plays and the next game be so slow and non responsive, I only play it because of the roster update just like every new ea sports game
What is the first video I watched of you yeah imagine that chara card in 2024 it would be even more broken lol yes ones now is good I don’t know if I would use the word masterpiece and just throw that around. Was it good yeah but I don’t think we should just throw that word around
I remember people hating Snoop Dogg being in the game, but now people like it? Oh, no… has the series gone so far downhill that stuff like that is now liked?
@@Perellzy The haters back then thought it wasn’t in the spirit of the sport, and evidence that EA was moving away from a simulation game and turning into an arcage game being sold as a simulation game.
IIRC NHL 20 was a bump fest. Literal bumper car simulator. Everything else felt good about it though NHL 21 was the same game but with nerfed bump. Best game we’ve gotten imo. Last game before the nightmare of Frostbite.
I get confused sometimes. People were complaining about Nhl 20 more than they are current games. Now people love the old games. I bet this will be a continuous cycle and people will say the current games were better in the future. Maybe we should just be content with what we got haha
Fr tho I need Snoop in every game

RIP Johnny Hockey😢
I only played 683 hours 😭
And this was such a good game now they just focus on Online (CHEL,HUT,ETC) Not the whole game anymore this was so good
And can you re-visit NHL 17?
Ik seriously, and i’d love to re-visit 17 i thought that game was solid too
@@Perellzyvery solid hitting sucks but overall like it is solid
They focusing on chel? Dont even get banner when u hit 1st div title.
Bro people were complaining about nhl20 more than they are current games. Now people love them? Confused lol
I have 967 hrs on nhl 24 😅
It’s NHL 18 for me, the introduction to defensive stick, the old slow cuts, we can’t forget about the pre made builds as well.
Damn, it’s unbelievable how smooth the gameplay is when they weren’t using the frostbite engine.
For real tho
“Keep in mind this was during lockdown” bro that doesn’t Apply when you almost have a full year on it 😭
Nearly 400 thousand hours is crazy 😭😭😭
that's 46 years lmao
NHL 19 was my favorite.
Same, it did have a good soundtrack too! Most people now would say no but.. 20 was one of the best menus I had (I had only 16, 19, 20, and 24 sadly) but 15 was the BEST one.
That trump impersonation was goated
Your play time on 20 makes me feel better about my play time on 21.
This game was so cursed looking back at it
One of my favorite nhls
NHL 21 was a tad bit better in my opinion just because you had the trade deadline day. And it added more to career mode. That was my favorite
They ruined be a pro in 21 tho
22 issue was the one hand tucks, they were unbelievably broken
So much smoother need to bring the style of game back
The one-touch passes and skating definitely felt clean and didn’t even need elite edges 😎
That pfp goes crazy
Bringing godly content as always
NHL 20 was one of my favorite NHL games
nhl16 is still my go to nhl game.
My guy. Nearly a year on this game. What😭😭😭
I’d play it sometimes
Occasionally
From time to time
Every so often
Once in a while
I been waiting for this… watching now
Snoop Dogg being an announcer was actually goated lmao I don't get people who hated on it
if you only had 2 players in nhl ones and you make the cpu griddy, your a real one 🔥🔥
i think the pandemic made us all nostalgic about the game. great video, even tho i don’t necessarily agree with the term masterpiece, considering there isn’t much difference between 19 and 20
NHL 11 / 14 & 17 best nhl games
Wow I have no clue how a four year old game looks better than the ones we are getting now.
Trump impression is up there with Shane Gillis 😂 this shit was hilarious
still play franchise mode on this NHL to this day
nhl 20 was my first game i bought since 14. loved this one, 21 started the downfall
Forgot they still had HUT contracts in 20
Lowkey kinda miss those days
we need NHL 2k 10, Make it Happen !
272 days is about 9 months and my guy had the game on for 9 fucking months bro WHAAAAAT☠☠☠☠🙏🙏🙏🙏
That is insane like insanity at its finest..
Games been out for over 5 years and the box has been left on for at least 1/3rd of that time 🥵
So close to a year 🎉
12:34 WHY tf did you say matthews like tha😭😭
MACHEWSS
I totally agree this game is a masterpiece and the soundtrack was amazing
The soundtrack was god shit what are you talking about you dork
The soundtrack was mixed in my opinion, but it was definitely one of the better ones from the late 2010's NHL games
It was probably the last decent one, the rest from that point have been awful
@@Perellzy I thought NHL 23's soundtrack was really good. For once, the NHL soundtracks actually went back to their heavy metal roots.
@Mickelraven ye there were a few decent ones
Just recently got into hockey and 24 was my first NHL game. Had a lot of fun with world of chel but for me it got old fast.
can't believe you went back to chel 20 and didn't do the turris flip
Dammit i forgot that was this year smh
My friend had a graphic designer remake the juju jersey for their beer league team. I could connect you with him if you want one lol
21 the last good game we had gameplay was so good
NHL 21 and 20 were goated but 21 had the better sound track
21's soundtrack was awful and both of those games were most certainly not "goated"
@@KashDarby 21 was not bad at all wtf are u on
@@micahthegamer3770 21 was one of the worst in the series, ask most Of the community and they'll agree with that
So much better than NHL 24 and probably 25 NHL.
Nah EASHL was awful this year. Its not great now but the customization is way better. I can make a true dangling two way or a sniping power forward.
No unique builds were possible in 20 it was so pathetic and marathon man was even more rampant than the modern elite edges(which should be nerfed)
Reckon this is the best of the most recent NHL games? Looking to get my first but don’t want to pay £50 for a copy of a previous year 😂
The newest game, NHL 25, is coming out worldwide on October 4th so I’d honestly just wait for that. If you want to play any NHL’s now you can with EA Play or if you have GamePass
@@Perellzy I'm stuck with all the old games now because I'm on PS4 😭
TBH I kinda liked 21 more because that was the year when BAP wasn't repetitive. It was also my first NHL game so everything was new for me.
Absolutely just what I was thinking. it had an updated career mode also and trade deadline day.
@@bostonwarrior4824 My BAP wishlist:
Skip/Turn off cutscenes
AHL back in the game
Ability to play a full season in the CHL
Make things a bit easier for goalies
I also think that NHL 21 is the best game in the series in the recent years. Also banger soundtrack.
@@Thegremn Most fun I ever had player NHL was in 21. I remember my BAP player would request trades whenever I got bored with my current team
@@Legoface660 agreed. I'm not totally against cut scenes, but they get old real quick. Give me an option to set it to skip them if I want. And yeah, CHL & AHL was awesome.

One other thing I'd add is the ability to practice as my BAP player.
NHL 20 is when nhl really got shit
Tarkene guys are from finland😅
I thought defense in this game was great you could actually stick lift from the side
It was a good game but the masterpiece was NHL 14
peak of gameplay before x factors and hit+poke nerfs :(
naaah bro 6,5k hours is crazy xddd
How pass on king henrik
Oh yeah the servers for 20 going down soon
Fr, felt fitting to get this out now especially before the 25 news. Need to get some people together for one last 6v6 game before the servers go down 🤞
@@Perellzy real
Trump shining through every now and then kills me😭
At least it was better than 18 or 19
do 09
NHL 15
Better than NHL 14?
Nhl 14

If i see Presure system in the gameplay trailer tomorrow i will cancel my pre order i promise
was good - but do not hype up mid. ea needs to step it up and a release live service versions of sports games. the one year method is garbage
play 2k6 that's my goat
Revisit nhl 18
play a nhl 2k game
I’m so down, 2k10 perhaps 👀
Go Steelers
STEELERS ARE GOHNTODA SUPPERR BOWLLL MIKE TOMLLIIIN MY GOAT
better than 24
20 and 24 are both alike
Nhl 14 best chel
Who else agrees 24 is stupid? Completely a mess, the glitches and how it can be all over the place where you and your team one game can execute the simple plays and the next game be so slow and non responsive, I only play it because of the roster update just like every new ea sports game
24 definitely wasn’t it in my opinion
Honestly the roster was the only good thing @@Perellzy
lets see like nhl 23 is harder make goals than nhl 24 xD nhl 24 goalies laydown too much, i feel they made AI goalies dumb :D
"To hit now you have to do a slapshot"...no you don't. You just hold X and wreck people even worse than it was before.
I play on skill stick, a real man’s controller setup 😎💪
@@Perellzy lol I do too. Just pointing out EA's backward logic of changing hitting only to put in a more exploitable way for people to cheese hits.
Very true
What is the first video I watched of you yeah imagine that chara card in 2024 it would be even more broken lol yes ones now is good I don’t know if I would use the word masterpiece and just throw that around. Was it good yeah but I don’t think we should just throw that word around
17 was the best
23 wasn’t even great obviously but bro 24 is the worst nhl game of all time probably that was no upgrade 😂
I remember people hating Snoop Dogg being in the game, but now people like it?
Oh, no… has the series gone so far downhill that stuff like that is now liked?
I always loved it those people are trippin
@@Perellzy The haters back then thought it wasn’t in the spirit of the sport, and evidence that EA was moving away from a simulation game and turning into an arcage game being sold as a simulation game.
Such a sigma game
Sigma grindset type game
Guess we looking back in rose tinted glasses. This game sucked.
L for being a hut player tho
I’ve been playing HUT since NHL 13 it’s kinda just a tradition for me at this point 😂
Go back to NHL 12
23 > everything I will die on this hill
Facts; it was best gameplay
NHL games have been shit since 14
Having to hear snoop dogg every sing’e game got annoying tho lowkey
You could turn him off in settings
@@Perellzy true
IIRC NHL 20 was a bump fest. Literal bumper car simulator. Everything else felt good about it though
NHL 21 was the same game but with nerfed bump. Best game we’ve gotten imo. Last game before the nightmare of Frostbite.
Yea the bumps in 19-20 were not ideal
Bad video👎👎👎👎
This game sucked
I get confused sometimes. People were complaining about Nhl 20 more than they are current games. Now people love the old games. I bet this will be a continuous cycle and people will say the current games were better in the future. Maybe we should just be content with what we got haha
