Next Gen Hockey

Is it safe to say you'll be following recent trends and not releasing the first 'next gen' hockey game until NHL22?
PS4/XB1 came out in November 2013, but NHL14(release September 2013) was only PS3/360.

If so, will there be any special enhancements if played on next gen?

You won't get a response as no one will even confirm if NHL 21 will actually be made, let alone NHL 22.

Let's hope that EA doesn't repeat the mistakes it made going into the PS4/Xbox One cycle with the PS5/Xbox Series X and by that I mean, remember how there was no NHL for next-gen at the launch of the new consoles? We had to wait until NHL'15 and we all remember how barebones that game was. So EA, have it together this time with a fully featured,fully functioning NHL title on the next-gen systems with cross-play and cross-gen play with people who won't be switching this year.

Unfortunately we have to wait another year, but this change to next gen will probebly be something we never seen or experienced before.

But maybe not a hot topic for the moment..

I also don't believe that the mistake can be repeated twice,
but the "need for speed" is a perfect example of how to destroy a promising series and not find the right path even after 10 years.

I still believe that nhl22 will be a big 8k upgrade with 10,000 extra animations, but it will be based on NHL21 .... with all the gameplay options!!!! It must!!!!

Unfortunately, history always repeats itself and maybe EA sees potential in mobile gaming. Of this, I'm most worried that some features of the game will never be upgraded to the point of being able to play nhl from your mobile.
