Hope you guys are excited for my first NHL 25 Franchise Mode series! Who are some players we should trade for?? 👀

[@phatmike21]

Marner 👀

[@AjBarnes555]

Shane Wright or a local favorite player of mine Luke Toporowski. Also I know you probably cannot say, but what is the pre game presentation look like? They still have no deep dive on it like promised!

[@kane-p2s]

Trade for caufield

[@jayrochefort6003]

Thatcher Demko and Jason Robertson were born in California I’m pretty sure so maybe them?

[@JackC-u5c]

Would be cool to see Zegras playing with someone from US Program like Caufield, turcotte, boldy etc

[@mefoogaming4937]

the new menus look so clean. if they removed some of the animations and sounds so the it can run smoother it would be perfect

[@TacTixHD]

Ya I really like the look of it but it honestly felt slower

[@tjalbury3271]

@@TacTixHDbro that’s bad. Like really bad. Theres no way the menus can launch slower than 24. That would straight up ruin it again. Spending 10 minutes in loading screens when you play for an hour isn’t fun at all. Kills any immersive experience the game offers

[@TylerFast441]

​@tjalbury3271 dont forget the consistent amount of crashing, especially in WoC. EA is absolutely mental.

[@Koersky]

@@TylerFast441was that common in 24? I can’t remember any crashes and was p3 or 4

[@TylerFast441]

@@Koersky it was either crashes or menus glitching out by locking you into picking your player build and preventing you from readying up so you have to reboot chel. This was Xbox Series X, idk if any other platforms had this problem, but it was bad for me.

[@benjgaming4214]

Wow! I did not expect a video this early for NHL 25😂 I would have thought you had to wait until Friday

[@marquisduhsade]

TacTix has connections

[@badguy89o32]

It's what happens when you suck up to EA and basically give them what they want and give them positive on everything and promote their ultimate team and they'll give you stuff for doing that but if you actually hold to your morals they want nothing to do with you I'm not surprised it's called being a sellout in the long run

[@GarrettPowell-e9n]

@@badguy89o32tactix isn’t a sellout he is a good guy and he critiques what he wants about the game and has good ideas for what they should’ve added like saying he wants them to bring gm connected back

Soo happy to see new Franchise mode, can you turn off the chat thingy?

You can just end convo immediately lol

So excited for the Penguins next!! 🔥

[@francescoiaderosa2247]

No! Do ten, please 😞

[@matthewg9467]

Are “no trade lists” dynamic or are they set at the start of the year? What happens if you try to trade for a player who doesn’t want to come to your team and is “clause protected”? Is it just not possible to try? Can they waive their no move/no trade?

[@TraceLundy]

Conversation to try to get him to waive it

[@slashy768]

[@salvprev72]

I preordered it and it said Friday, did it come early?

[@SyrupIsWin]

Hes a content creator he gets it early

[@mynameismud-qd9vu]

No Game Changers get the game early. That way they can show off the game to try and coax others into preordering the deluxe edition!

[@formulabedrin]

i wonder if in be a pro you can have a no trade clause

[@matthewg9467]

Do you need it? I found it nearly impossible to get traded in previous games, even with asking for a trade daily

[@VegasGoldenJediKnight]

You wouldn’t be able to get one until you reach a certain number of years in the league to earn the right (players association thing)

[@rld0724]

[@Lucky.27_]

Injuries is just a pain in the ass micromanaging job

[@jamestyler9326]

@@mefoogaming4937 But it is part of the strategy. No injuries is just a way to cheat and make it 'easy' mode. Injuries change so much about a season and it takes a level of strategy and skill to overcome big injuries. With it off it's just lame.

So unrealistic u gave Dostal 8 year 1 million AAV!! like a little realism but thats just me

[@CJDRUM95]

I really wish tactix would turn injuries on It would be really cool to see a top 6 player go down and make tactix have to call up a rookie or someone else. Adds to the challenge of winning the cup.

[@airhead3333]

Injuries would be cool if they weren’t super unrealistic. Players miss way too much time too often with injuries.

[@hellobigboyyy]

@@airhead3333how do you know that? Its a new game. Its makes it more annoying for sure, but its a challenge. Having your starting goalkeeper etc getting injured ads to the challenge

And once again, mcdavid can’t even score 100 points in franchise mode 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@Cbow1491]

DUCHENE did tho

[@GG-ng6zm]

gotta boost most of his stats to 99

[@jasoncoladonato1034]

These NHL games are the exact same each year. All they really do is add a brand new feature or two that are solid additions, but it’s nothing major. And they just keep doing this every year to get people coming back to the game. It’s honestly pretty pathetic. And I know this is the only legit hockey game for us fans to buy, but we seriously need to stop buying these games.

[@mustangpinder617]

Fun fact lol: Lehkonen's OT goal in the western conference finals marks the third time in his career that he had an OT goal to send his team to the stanley cup finals: - Montreal 2021 - Colorado 2022 - Colorado 2025

[@MSM19683]

Can you edit players once in franchise mode? I'm 24 you could assign x factors.

[@milan99cz]

Zegras fall off is crazy, wasn't he like 88 OVR when he was the cover athlete? Not to mention he lost the zone ability 💀

@Pavsy73 I think the Black, Orange, and Gold looks sick. Their new away jersey is hideous.

[@yallrbuggin808]

Love it but pls use more of the new franchise features like goals for ur players to make them grow, promises on the contracts (like for Jamie Benn), changing positions (change zegras to a full winger)

[@PkTheKid99]

Solid video bro but why don’t you make any line changes in the playoffs after losing back to back to change up the simulation?

I loved this but i do have 1 question Why is the trade value of an elite player so low I really hope its not terribly easy to acquire an elite player

[@SGTxPuszka]

Why is hunter brustewiecz in the draft? He’s on the flames

[@DenzelVincent00]

Haven’t played NHL for 2 years now can anyone tell me did EA remove the ability for Players to loose their Zone/Superstar abilities? cause I saw that last year in NHL 24 franchise mode and personally wasn’t a fan of it so decided not to buy the game. Can anyone confirm if they changed it back to how they had it in NHL 22. They should atleast have a setting option where you can choose whether or not you want players to loose their Zone/Superstar abilities over time if they don’t perform

[@jonathanhurst6426]

Only one year but player dev looks a bit overpowering with so many guys getting +6-8 in one year at the NHL level. That would be okay for guys in junior but too much too quickly for me in the NHL. Have to see if any regression is built in if the team and stats drop off in season 2.

[@sniperfrenzy7307]

Is the New zeland location change glitch working?????

[@TheDraftAttack]

Wow! Lowkey was not expecting this series this soon! Congrats for all your hard work and the first Franchise series on NHL25! As much as I don't agree with the team you picked, that doesn't matter as on this new Franchise mode this should attract a bigger audience. Cheers Ontario brother!

[@Hockeyfan3837]

[@Sinsthatsnever4given]

Finally a settings breakdown...how are the camera Views looking.

[@tommybuckets19]

If you read this, something that I thought of since EA got The Trade/movement clauses in the game finally that it wouldn’t be that much harder to add draft pick protections so things like Montreal getting the pick no matter what happened doesn’t happen and so the player doesn’t have to fully micromanage draft picks before loading up and so teams are getting the accurate pick . Another thing that could be added that just a quality of life thing is to add the teams overall somewhere so you don’t have to go into the play screen. If you could pass that along so that EA’s next step would most likely be cross platform custom rosters and then Franchise connected

[@dvnd17]

Montreal deserves that 3rd pick cuz they don’t have Demidov in this roster

[@jp1170]

Nice to see EA hasnt fixed a single thing when it comes to franchise AI. Still awful trade offers, weird contract expectations, and teams that arent good somehow being really good

[@ClipsThatTakeUpStorageOnMyXbox]

I wish they would add mid save expansion. What if I get to year 2030 and want to expand the league? The only expansion draft you can do is the 33rd team.

[@king_giggz]

Hey Tac you think they will ever add cross-console roster sharing?

[@NightShade54]

You should turn on injuries just for the playoffs to make it realistic, and it would really test your depth players too
