NHLGamers, Since last night at approximately 21 CEST, the NHL 21 closed technical test is live. If you signed up for the test, you might want to check your email including spam folder for a possible code. Keep in mind not everyone was guaranteed one. The NHL 21 technical test is held for the purpose of collecting data and feedback on the available features in gameplay, the new dekes, improved AI, and the goalie controls and positioning. The technical test does not include all new features coming to the final product and does not represent the final product in any way. Remember that as per the terms and conditions of the closed technical test, you are not permitted to capture or share any video or screenshots of the test build of the game. No information about the duration of the technical test is currently available. We will update this article when we learn more. We will be sending EA our collective thoughts, so please discuss the test build of the game in the comments section below, in our allocated thread or send your feedback directly to the EA Forums.
