NHL out on April 12th for any fellow puck heads out there. Be warned though, it seems like this is another "mail it in" version for them.

NHL 21 is out and the full MLB The Show pre-load seems to be available (it was only downloading a few hundred mb before).

Sports fans...

NHL is horrible this year. The "AI" is laughable. One moment they are warping through you to steal a puck, the next they give you a breakaway.

The last time I bothered trying an NHL game I still had to use the black and white buttons. Wish someone would make a good one, but not holding out hope.

Same. I played it on PC and got lost in the Mods... 200 hours... o_Oo_O

I actually think I put even more time into the remastered Special Edition on PS4 Pro than my original 360. Played through the entire campaign and all DLC main stories again

It's a fun game to play with different styles of classes, makes it easy to get sucked in again!

I have read rumors that Sony is coming with a clause to prevent some games on release day to be also on gamepass.

If this is even true, I think it is stupid.

If so, it'll most likely be on a game by game basis. I doubt there's anyway Sony could implement a blanket policy that says games on their platform cannot release day & date on GamePass. It would be up to individual publishers to sign such a deal.

And, if Sony were to implement such a policy I believe it would backfire on them. Such a policy would only start an even bigger arms race on who can outspend who in the effort to secure games for their platforms. Sony cannot match MSFT's cash reserves or spending on gaming. So if they try and limit games from appearing on GamePass it would further reduce their own selection of games which in the long run would slow the growth of their own platform. Sony's best bet is to compete with an innovative idea of their own, one that offers more or equivalent gaming value to GamePass. In short.......Sony has to build a better product/service.

Officials said that Xbox Game Pass is an important part of Microsoft's Xbox service. After EA Play and Bethesda joined Xbox Game Pass in March this year, the Xbox game lineup has become stronger. Xu Hongwei, Xbox Product Marketing Manager of Taiwan's Microsoft Consumer Channel and Device Business Group, said: "The next-generation console Xbox Series X | S players have nearly 80% attachment to the Xbox Game Pass service." With the support of Xbox Game Pass, Xu Hongwei is more optimistic. It is estimated that the overall sales of Xbox in Taiwan in the first half of this year will increase more than three times compared with the same period last year.

I wrote an article and did a video. Web-scraped lots of data for this one. In case anyone is really curious about the quality of Game Pass so far. Any feedback is appreciated.
