NHL 21 Period Length

So i’ve been trying over and over to change my period length on NHL 21 for franchise, and i’ve changed it multiple times in different areas, and still, the game is always 20 minutes periods. I’m not sure what i’m doing wrong.

    Hi there, @nathanharrold45 

    Periods are always 20 minutes long. When you change the period length, it speeds up/slows down the clock so those 20 minutes pass at an accelerated or normal rate. By default, periods are 4 minutes long. So, the 20-minute clock is sped up so it counts down in 4 minutes. If you change periods to being 20 minutes, they will count down at the normal rate.

  • Thank you, it honestly doesn’t feel like it was faster but it was probably in my head lol.

  • @EA_Aljo thank you for the info. that is a stupid thing to do by ea, this is the only sports game i know that does it this way.
