NHL 25 Discussion

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Did they revert the controls back to like NHL 22, or 23, or are they still like last year's ?

Which controls? The hitting is the same as 24. But the ratings are far more impactful that last year.

Game crashes every time you edit a system generated player in franchise mode. Nice. It was all over the EA forum and Reddit. No response by EA. They had similar issues in the past where system generated players aged after you edit them. In the past this was never fixed…..

Is it strange they still have Gaudreau on the bjs for franchise mode?

Do the first roster update before you start one and he isn't.

Probably on my best start on versus, eashl, HUT. I usually play a patience game and the slower game speed pace works in my favour. Tried HUT and haven’t spent a dime. Had it grind it for Matthews cover who is my best player. Gonna try and grind and not spend any money with the time off I have from work. It is possible to get a decent without spending money if you have the time and manage your collection well.

Not if you understand anything about game production.

Pretty much one of my best starts in WoC since 23., but I usually play on Top 50 teams.

The only thing I can really say is I like the speed downgrade. It seems to prevent teams from just trying to zoom out the zone for breakaways, but it makes people just try to pile on builds that go the fastest. 94/95 speed seems to be the meta. Even as a D-man.

Lots of cons. The AI goalies are horrendous. Even worse than 24. One Tee is OP. Stats for games over 3 people seem to be broken (Not sure for PS, but they are for Xbox). Paid builds are on the OP side, but that's EA's way. The IceQ bullshit is overblown and not worth $60 for standard or $100 for special. Maybe the AI is better for their money maker mode called HUT that saps fund EA by buying packs, but WoC continues to get neglected. Also, I wish EA leaves clubs alone when it comes to having fornite-like avatars skating around the ice. Leave that shit for drops or threes or ones.

Outside of the speed decrease, which just could've been a tweak, it's the same game that they made worse with all the Day 1 bugs.

Let me know when the new rosters drop and the first patch hits. Not touching it until then.
