EA released an update for NHL 21 which expanded the Be A Pro mode along with a new Hut Rush Mode.

The Be A Pro mode allows players to live the life of an NHL® superstar both on and off the ice as they will need to react and rise to the occasion through real-time game events, and impress coaches, GMs, teammates, and the public with hundreds of conversations that can lead to thousands of different outcomes.

Along with the deeper Be A Pro experience, EA added the Hut Rush mode which adds a quick-to-action, head-to-head mode where players set the match-ups of 3v3, 5v5, or timed games to earn rewards and progress through the rankings.

The Scoring system determines players’ points multiplier: the prettier the play, the bigger the bonus. Players can change up how their games are settled with exciting modifiers that have been added, including Money Puck and First Goal Wins.

Sean Ramjagsingh, Executive Producer of NHL 21, said:

“The road to NHL stardom has never been more clear as we have provided our players with new superstar-inspired moves, which they can use to mold their path from NHL Draft prospect to Stanley Cup Champion, (…) The skill level in the league has never been higher, so it’s only right we provide our players with the most developed offensive arsenal to date to build their careers, along with a new way to flaunt that creativity online.”
