The last NHL game I got was NHL 20 ( I have been a fan since NHLPA 93 on the SNES ) since the game usually has noticeably new features every other year. Well I was wrong about this one, it is the exact same game except with a clunky user interface.
If you have NHL 19 or 20, just continue to play that for now and wait for NHL 25. Hopefully it won't be the exact same game on the PS5 by then.
