NHL 20 | Update 1.6.0 Patch Notes

NHL 20 patch notes update 1.6.0

NHL 20 update version 1.6.0 is quite small. Fans won’t find any major new additions to gameplay. Instead, most of the new content centers around World of CHEL. The patch notes don’t describe what has been added, but the development team advises players to “tune in regularly” to learn about new additions.

Other than that, update 1.6.0 is mainly centered around bug fixes. In particular, a bug that resulted in injured players staying on the ice has been fixed, and the issue that resulted in the puck being lost during penalty shots has been addressed. The team even fixed a rare bug that caused players to be unable to pick up a puck during line change requests.

This patch also includes several different balance adjustments and tweaks. Goalie reaction to passes have been improved, goalie tracking has been improved, and general shooting has been addressed with the hopes of providing a greater degree of accuracy.

Here are the full NHL 20 patch notes for update version 1.6.0 as provided by the team at Electronic Arts.
