The last NHL game i played was 08, then i stopped. Recently i wanted to pick up again, so i got NHL 24 and literally have no idea how to even play. AFAIK there is no tutorial, you can look at the controls but without knowing how to use them it's useless. I couldnt even tell how to faceoff, so i always just lose. world of warcraft has so many expansions, lore and changes over the last 21 years and even it's more beginner friendly than NHL

Hockey games died when 2k stopped making hockey games

Move on.

Nhl blitz would be amazing a blitz and a fifa street for new consoles

I bought this game since it was 60% off in the PS store. Is this game dead already or is the matchmaking servers just terrible? Also, the menus feel like I’m trying to run Fortnite on my family laptop. WTH is going LOL

This year the gameplay has been much better compared to than last year and the past few years. However hut is still a money grab and people that make the content for hut do not know what they are doing and your right they do not care about gm connected, they only care about the modes they can make money off of like hut and world of chel. Like I said it’s just a money grab at this point.

I like it. Don’t play it if you don’t. Why do we care

“The game doesn’t come out for another week. I’m already tired of it” Ok Rick James 😂

I‘ve critizised the game on the EA forum and they locked my account 😂 So much said, thats what EA thinks about their fans

Thankfully I got the game at 60% off. It's terrible. 1) Franchise was unplayable. They've given us an updated that fixed a lot of stuff but certain things still don't work well (i.e. contracts, etc...) 2) I like to create my own custom teams and the team creator is broken. The colors are all messed up. It's as if there's a different lighting for custom teams. It's amazing that they've managed to break a part of the game that wasn't broken. I've gone back to NHL 24 and will remain there unless they fix things.

EA doesn't care bout the nhl series anymore because theres no more competition

Didn’t buy this game. Not even buying it that it’s discounted at $25😂

This is why I stick to NHL 94 for the Sega Genesis! The best hockey game ever made!

I can't stand that women announcer. MY gosh, sounds exactly like my ex Boss, I HATE IT and it's hard to enjoy playing it.

If they remove the skill stick I’ll never buy this game again. They already fucked up backskating and the 24 “backskating” was a fucking joke. “It was broken though” ok then fix the fucking game and the glitch goals instead of removing features.

I got 24 as my first nhl game I don't understand the controls as much as I tried I played nhl 25 and I see the same everything and barely any difference I never wanted to buy into it but nhl 24 was like 20 at the time and I was a sucker for having jack Hughes on the cover

I took a stance on not supporting any launch EA does bc games like Madden and this are the same every year with less to offer... smh I'm glad I was born when I got to experience awesome games with none of this dlc crap... they made games with passion then, play gta san andreas to see what I mean... that game was out in like 03 I believe and the content is unmatched

I love this game yes some stuff need to change and I have seen stuff i think the crowd need to change like the nashville goals and chant like the crowd saying u suck and I like to see the to see them knock pucks on the ground come to the ice like do in the NHL they need to get rid of the pressure metter no one really Cares for it and doesn't last long the goalie look alot better on there save and they need to have more replays of the goalie saves

I haven't played an NHL game for a long time as they were the same. But this one looks really good.

EA take another greedy dump on their NHL fans. No felling in the game, frost bite drunk lagg and bad AI . Time for some one else to try make a decent hockey game. I am done with EA.

All they do is change the roster and little things so quit bitching

Until i hear they fixed the controls on eashl i aint buying it, nothing like hopping while your trying to deke, i dont get how we are catering to Hut, pro, 1v1 mode but not update the EASHL, looks like the same old game as many years before, they could do so much better and for the love of god make the game atleast go for 10 years and not purchase every year if your gonna make the same game each year

I have played every year since NHL 98, and this is the first time I can say the game truly feels like a downgrade from last year. It plays slower, I can honestly say that NHL 24 on PS4 is better than NHL 25 on PS5.

No one gives a shit if you’re going to keep playing or not

The best thing for EA to do is make the game free to play with a season pass. Otherwise you're paying 70$ for a game that's good for about a year before it's worth 10$ in 3-4 years.

They need to just put NHL 14 on PC and just update rosters for free every year and end it there

I have purchased and played EA NHL games ever since the very first incarnation which was NHL 92. Every single year I pray it gets better and every year they improve something and they really mess up some other things and it is a continual cycle of disappointment year upon, these games are produced by incompetent people who never played a real sport before.. like Sean Ramjagsingh and have absolutely zero real life, hockey knowledge or experience and that is who you get to play against when you were playing online because the only people playing online for the most part are those to watch KZbin videos on how to glitch use a silly Arcadish game

I love Lane Hutson but this goal by Caufield that you shows a lot of time to amaze me... every time I am delighted and touched in my hearth by Slaf's pass to Caufield. We have two super dwarfs, we need the super Giants to play with them. Is Florian a solution ?

The game actually has so much potential but it's huge miss fire by EA currently. Not to mention lot of players are still experiencing the online having weird delay even with low ping.

I’m a habs fan you can’t give up on NHL it’s the best game in the world you have to hold on

I love this game. Just started playing again 4 months ago and I’m top ranked in online versus. Prior to this year and the very end of last year I hadn’t played a NHL game since 2015. Glad they slowed the game speed down. Makes you use IQ and actually play hockey. Instead of speeding passed people every play with no moves or good passing.

Correction lol when you were younger, you were spending mommy and daddy’s money so of course it’s fine. But when I gotta spend my own money on basically the same product every year is going to be ridiculous. And far as I know can only play on new consoles. Ps5- X/s also

Played every game religiously from 06 to 21(half off). Don't miss it, this game's a mess.

Call of Duty 6 is just as trash Random but I feel like I’m playing w weapon modes and shooting vision back from 2007 era. Not 2025 graphics and todays engineering.

The way they can fix that fight between two generations is give us a more realistic hockey game for example day to day one timers in NHL 25 go in 95% of the time In real life if you look up that stat those goals only go in about 3 to 4% of the time in real life NHL I understand they can't give us an exact realistic copy but come on that's a little ridiculous

We also need to get released a beta for every player who has bought or played the previous NHL games seems like the people who only get early access or pro streamers and players and Winnie does make a change it's only towards them like I said in my previous comment I have horrible ADHD and a comment as the video goes but it's all about money and greed and it seems like to me the gaming industry is just in a bad shape and pro streamers are making a boatload of money and they don't want to speak up and talk negative about the games because they're too worried they'll get their account banned from twitch or whatever it is and that's another problem too

I've been playing since NHL 17 and this is by far the worst year we've had the hitting sucks the switching players sucks only goals that really go in our one timers especially D to D one timers the XP path rewards suck everybody gets the same cards I used to love to grind hours and hours a day but it's really worthless because the rewards are not worth it they should have never added the b&D cards because they become irrelevant especially when that's a reward that they give you I mean there's a fantasy hockey pack that's $8,000 NHL points which is about 90 US dollars and the whole pack is b&D and that stupid in my opinion BND cars ruined Madden and it's going to ruin NHL but until the professional players and streamers start actually speaking up and people stop buying the game especially at the price they asked for every year nothing is going to change but if you're like me and love hockey cuz I played it for 12 years in real life is only sport I watch and keep up with then you really have no choice but the gaming industry is in a big bind as well 4 years to develop Black ops 6 and that game is horrendous too The maps are small repetitive there's no three or four lanes there's no flanks everything's wide open

Y’all are being a bit dramatic. I play with a group of friends from my irl men’s league and we always have a blast. Yeah there’s stupid shit in every version of the game but if you’re playing with your friends it’s still fun. And even if only play once a week for 3 hours that less than a dollar an hour for some good times with the boys

As a PC gamer I couldn’t play it even if I wanted to

In today's NHL: Initial point of contact is the head = PENALTY. A few years back, Max Pacioretty tried to avoid giving a headshot after the smaller player moved (more than Barron moved); the initial point of contact was still the head and Pacioretty got suspended.

to say this is not a clean hit is simply not based in reality. Trouba's shoulder, elbows, and hands are down. He remains with both skates on the ground. He stepped into a player with their head down. The issue really is today's development does not teach skaters how to give or receive hits. They coddle players and they never learn to review a hit and that means they never really learn to keep their head up or, based on hockey IQ, understand when a hit is likely coming. In this case, the forward should have known it was coming. The unfortunate thing here and may have been the main issue causing him to slowly get up is he hit the back of his head on the ice. Also important to note Trouble did not receive a penalty or supplemental discipline from the NHL Player Safety office (who review all these types of hits). What disgusts me is the "revenge" tactics on clean hits that is a cancer on the NHL now. It needs to stop. Dirty hit or hit on a goalie? sure go for it. But revenge on a clean hit is cowardly and could cause more injury. it needs to stop. What needs to stop is the coddling during player development.

That's though call. Amazingly Trouba tries to go low for leagal hit but Barron's head is so low cause his skating position that Trouba still hits the head.

good hit

Those kinds of hits got Scott Stevens in the HOF

And trouba attended his funeral and talked about how good of a hockey player buddy was... oh sht

Tell barron to stand up that’s a clean hits 🤦‍♂️ Marchand makes hits like this and he’s SMALLER meaning he literally aims for the head. This is the NHL these hits have been legal for decades, if it was arber mtl fans would be preaching it’s legal.

I wonder when someone gets killed because of a clean hit. Hockey rules are about 100 years old and back then players were lighter, skating much slower. Forces impacting players when they are hit can be quite high today.

Be respectful? This isnt a tennis forum. It wasnt that bad of a hit. Trouba is a big dude, baron bent down. Expect that hit.

totally clean.

Im a Habs fan (61yrs old), this was a clean hit. Truba was crouched intending a shoulder to body check....legal. keep your head up kids.
