The latest NHL 20 patch was released today, and the newest patch includes some AI adjustments, as well as the addition of new content for World of CHEL.

NHL 20 Patch 1.6 Details

Some of the changes that are in the latest patch are just general fixes. One change in the latest patch includes fixing a glitch where an injured player would not come off the ice. In addition, the developers tweaked the AI so that it wouldn’t over commit to the puck handler on a 2-on-1.

The skaters weren’t the only one to get a tweak, either. Goalies should now have better reactions to passes that go to the net, and the developers also fixed a glitch where a goalie could enter a broken state by hugging the post and requesting a goalie pull.

Here are the full patch notes:

General
