nhl 21 delayed

[Spragga]

NHL 21 will be delayed this year to Q3. Meaning release date will be between Oct-Dec.

Guessing it's Covid related, or maybe the new consoles.

Usually Q3 is July-September so I'm not sure about this one. Q4 is normally Oct-Dec unless EA has their own custom definition of quarters which could totally be possible.

Edit: I think you're right based off when Madden normally releases. Wow, very interesting.

This is probably due to the fact that the season in the NHL, AHL, ECHL and CHL leagues will begin only in December. If all the Leagues start the season in October, it will be just fine, as the community will receive the actual team rosters and the latest hockey equipment, especially the goalies. Only HUT fanatics will remain dissatisfied.

He's talking about the fiscal year. For EA, that runs from April 1st to March 31st. So Q3 is indeed October through December.

Yes I'm aware, that's why I added my "edit" haha. Madden wouldn't release in a traditional "Q2" so clearly NHL is delayed according to the document.

My guess would be due to the next generation of consoles.

Maybe they’re taking the extra time to make the game a perfect hockey sim?


Nah, I’m just kidding.

Maybe they are even trying to include roster share?

LOL oh yeah, and improved AI play, 31-team franchise control, GM Connected, custom slider lobbies, slider vaults...

LBH, they're just trying not to have NHL 15 happen again.
