The choices work far better for the in-game challenges than the other conversations. It’s a smart way to liven up a long-running element of the Be a Pro experience and make it feel more immersive. Instead of just getting a pop-up saying that your coach wants you to defend a lead, you’ll see an in-game cutscene of the coach calling you over to the bench and actually giving you that instruction. EA Vancouver has integrated this conversation structure into Be a Pro’s existing “Coach Challenge” system. Your dialogue choices open up chances to boost your character’s skills and attributes. You can go the “team” route, choosing dialogue that follows your coach’s instructions to play within the system, or you can opt for the “star” path, putting your interests ahead of the team’s. Dialogue options (albeit without voice acting) will pop up in your player’s conversations with their coach or teammates, or interviews with the press, and all of them tend to be split into the two main paths that EA Vancouver has set up. These new role-playing choices are designed to let you shape the kind of player you want to be and live the life of an NHL athlete off the ice, although the range of outcomes is limited. The mode may look more like a traditional role-playing game in NHL 21, with its new dialogue choices, but it’s sorely missing a more robust character creator with basic options like the ability to tweak skin tones and facial features. The NHL series’ player creation suite remains essentially unchanged this year, which means that it’s still impossible for me to create a player who truly looks like my Indian self.

91 here is Vitali Kravtsov, and he has no more experience than my created player - rather than respected veterans. It’s baffling that teammate challenges (score goals, notch assists, block shots, etc.) come almost exclusively from fellow youngsters - No.
