Why does this series never make updates during playoffs?

How hard would it be to make a special playoff mode to mimic real life? I always wondered why this series remains stagnant during playoff time.

Especially this year with the extra rounds.


Online or offline. Like make an online mode where you can play each playoff team series vs someone else online. simple.

they keep missing a great opportunity.

This year they could even have released a special version of the game as "NHL Stanley Cup 2020" with only 24 teams and it would probably have sold. They would only have had to strip down NHL20 and implement the playoff mode.


Just like they do with FIFA World Cup or EURO editions...

I don't think they have time to update NHL20 any longer. I mean NHL 21 is only a month away and I honestly would prefer if they were spending all of their time on that game. Remember, the official NHL season should be done already.

Nothing has changed, this NHL series gets the least amount of attention.

My guess is because by the time the playoffs roll around they're heavily invested in next year's edition and don't have time to make updates.

Every year around the Entry Draft they announce if they continue to produce a new Game or not. So they don’t work for a new Game before they have announced it. So it is not logical what you say.
