About the project
NHL 21 rebuilt the Be A Pro career mode and expanded the attacking move set considerably, giving players a far wider range of ways to create a scoring chance.
It was also produced through 2020, with the team distributed and remote for most of the cycle — a full annual console release delivered without anyone in the same building.
