NHL 25 Discussion

I honestly didn't mind 24. It had its flaws but I thought the game was getting better. Seriously considering on purchasing the new NHL this weekend.

To the people who have played NHL 25, is this game worth purchasing or not?

With the updated franchise mode, I did. Gameplay is good, franchise mode got much better.

How is the online versus experience these days?

Has the lag in franchise mode been fixed? Considering picking the game up during black friday

The menus are still a little laggy.

What's up with the XP glitch in WOC?

I’d buy it again for 10 bucks. Anything above that is just a rip off.

It’s God awful and I hardly play it anymore and I usually play from release till April/May. I’ve only played HUT so I can’t say anything about the other modes.

Are you on PS or Xbox? The menus have not been this laggy on PS, ever. Can’t believe they’d even release it like this.

Menus aren’t laggy on Xbox either. Gen Z just can’t sit through a 15 second load screen.

I’ve been playing the NHL series since 93/94 on Sega Megadrive, then PC, Xbox and PS up until now. The menus has never been this laggy. I don’t mind the loading screens, but the menus are laggy and that’s a fact.

This is very odd.

I'm playing on a PS5 and find the menus enormously improved.

It’s mostly in HUT. Seems like it has problems loading the dynamic content so whenever they add new content it’s horrendously slow.

Might add that I’m on a 1 Gbit fiber connection and have no problem whatsoever with dl speed or ping.

I have never played HUT, so that might explain our differing experiences.

I am on Xbox XS and they are laggy.

Why is skating backwards in EASHL broken? Skating in mud here compared to the forwards. And that's with a small two way D with backskating perk and maxed out speed/agility/acceleration.

Skating forwards will always be faster than skating backwards. Even in real life. Make your pivot early to stay in front of a puck carrier.

Played D for 15 years. The pivot is taking way too long in this game. Feels like we are back to that BS in what was it, NHL 16? The "new skating engine" where you just stopped dead in your tracks.
