NHL 20 Cover Athlete Announced

Tonight the NHL 20 cover athlete was revealed! It was quite a surprise!

This was not a surprise to some as it was “leaked” by Walmart about an hour or two earlier.

Features Announced

• New shot animations (Patrik Laine, Steven Stamkos, PK Subban, and Auston Matthews),
• New animations and announcers (James Cybulski and Ray Ferraro with 300 hours of recorded phrases),
• Play of game highlights at the end of the game
• HUT Squad Battles
• Eliminator mode (Up to 81 players compete in a Battle Royale type of mode ones and threes included),
• Ones are now open for local multiplayer
• Expanded World Of CHEL

Many others, including myself, were very upset to not see Connected Franchise Mode added into the game.

New Features in Franchise Mode

• A 2K style trade finder will be added
• A new line chemistry system
• Hiring/firing coaches (up to eight) from your NHL and AHL teams.
