NHL 25: ANAHEIM DUCKS FRANCHISE MODE - SEASON 1

[@TacTixHD]

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.

[@hrmiller3]

I think 10 years is the ideal length. Love to see you go back to that.

[@andyn6053]

I did 25 years in nhl 22 and it was a struggle....took qlmost one month 8 hours per day loool

[@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 💀

[@greatestgoalie25]

I really don't understand why so many people don't understand that he gets the game early. He has been doing these for years.

[@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

[@bipity-bob]

@@badguy89o32these guys make 💩 money anyways man imagine being a chel touber. Tactix must live in his mums basement still

[@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

[@CKr14]

@@airhead3333You can adjust how often injuries happends on the sliders

[@antonnilsson2843]

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

[@REVALT-y8i]

The king of unrealistic franchise mode returns

[@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

[@sensky53]

I DIDNT EXPECT THIS???? SO PUMPED LFGGGG

[@Kellan24]

I really hope they give rookies pictures in future updates

[@nickalleye]

word. it's ridiculous they still don't have pics for Gauthier or Michkov or Celebrini, like come on

Hopefully they fixed where in later years 81 ovr d man don’t ask for 8 mill

[@rickey6793]

I USE TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THESE!! thx for the ducks franchise 🙏

[@johnnyrice5447]

Well, Quite Ironic. First off, Love your content @TacTixHD Man, Keep up the Great, Hard work! So, to my point. Anaheim's playoff run was pretty interesting. In the first 2 series, they won games 1 & 2, then lose game 3 in both series, then won games 4 & 5 to finish off. Then comes Colorado. Lost games 1 & 2 to them, go back home, and won game 3, then lost games 4 & 5. What a Twisty, yet interesting playoff run.

[@MarekDonald-z7t]

Finally the ducks

[@Amm17ar]

Was not expecting this haha!! New Franchise modes should be a lot more fun with all the new features.

[@Chinitoo_Dave03]

I swear New Jersey gets no love. BEEN WAITING 3 YEARS TO SEE THEM

[@kylepereira7487]

As someone who tries to follow NTCs in the first few years, this makes me so happy for franchise

[@andrewchenevert249]

Rantanen just getting the ducks back to reality🤣.Double hatrick in game 1 is nasty

[@Ratzy1614]

tactix gets game today, already has video up, i love it

[@Michaelholt32]

I’ll be doing franchise mode a ton this year the improvements are great thank god we needed it

[@nickalleye]

Let's go ducks! Sure hope they will do similarly IRL this season haha. Eliminated in the conference finals, I could live with that lol

[@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!

[@Damphouse]

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

[@leviklynstra8975]

Love to see that the unrealistic simulations were not fixed at all

[@mrgreekgm754]

Thank you for not being soft and putting trading on HARD!

[@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?

[@tylerjackson9284]

Can’t wait for the pens one. Big penguins fan here let’s go tactixs

[@Ratzy1614]

The nhl scoring leaders on the home page, huge for the series!

[@Stirthepotwithscott]

So excited for the Penguins next!! 🔥

[@DeeronVittrekwa]

I find that having injuries on helps with development of rookies

[@mamaji277]

Thats Lekhonen's 3rd ot goal to send his team to the finals. He did in 2021 with the Habs and 2022 with the Avs

[@cleanx799]

Awesome! Couldn't wait for NHL 25 videos

[@silentnyrf3161]

No way you sent gudas to get shaved

[@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)

[@MSM19683]

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

[@w3nns675]

Has this been answered yet. Literally waiting to buy until I know. Can't take anymore grey/bald 18y.o, Black/straight-blonde hair eastern Europeans or anymore slovaks named John smith

[@groundshock5719]

you can assign x factors but nothing else

[@z1mmy9]

Lekhonen with his third career OT goal to send his team to the SCF that’s nuts

[@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

[@brendangerth3222]

Wow , he’s finally gonna so the pens again ! Can’t wait 😊

[@RedhawksReport]

Are you able to view lineup during offseason or is it like years prior that you can only see contracts?

[@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.

[@W32-W63]

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

[@TacTixHD]

You can just end convo immediately lol

[@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

[@GillesPaquet-Allaire]

For the first time in a long time, it will be fucking nice to have a Franchise with the Montreal Canadiens.

[@Hockeyfan3837]

Fun fact! Guess who sent the avs to the Stanley cup! Arturri Lehkonen. FYI he sent canadiens to cup and the avs to the cup so he did it twice, and in this game make it 3. Mr he’s “Mr send your team to the cup” player 😂

[@francescoiaderosa2247]

No! Do ten, please 😞

[@ILessyI]

Besides nasher tactix is the biggest NHL KZbinr they've got now no wonder he got it early lol

[@RelaxingGhost]

One thing they gotta just out right show the team ratings. U shouldn't have to fight to try and read them

[@OilersRock420]

Ducks in the playoffs and no McDavid in the top 10 scoring . You know it’s a video game when

[@f1erce621]

I have a video idea that I do sometimes. Use the highest value player (under 27) and play with tether until they retire, you cannot trade them.

[@RedhawksReport]

Leo Carlsson on the 4th line is criminal!

[@Forme76153]

im so happy you can upload NHL25 vids now :)

[@420camk]

Awesome. You going to do a vid going through all the roster ovr ratings? Curious how my Canucks are looking!

[@420camk]

Also do you know if the bug where when you simulate games it changes your gameplay sliders back to default? Very curious about that one..

[@mitchell.h5937]

Why did mintyukov not have any X factors LMAO

[@dalegribble4402]

Cause he's Russian

[@MasonStern-r4b]

Allways amazing to wake up to a new tactic vid

[@TacTixHD]

Thank you!!

[@lxnzonFN]

You should keep player morale on for the next series. I think with the new franchise mode it could be more entertaining and fun

[@mhedden033]

Ducks fan here: I do not believe Gudas is a long term captain. He really appeared to be the leader in the room and backed it up on the ice as the only plus player last season. I expect him to be a captain for 2-3 seasons while the ducks see which of their next gen talent mature into the next captain.

[@Pavsy73]

They should have given it to Leo imo

[@NightShade54]

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

[@Sinsthatsnever4given]

The ducks should've kept there green & purple original uniforms...that's classic since the mighty ducks movie?

[@HairyButWhole]

Finally they did something to GM mode and looks pretty good, but overall not worth of my money.

[@Sinsthatsnever4given]

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

[@tylerjn123]

Good to know the sim engine is still broken 😂

[@gwalker4803]

Are menus still slow? Thanks for the vid, was great.

[@robertbuckley9429]

How was the Ducks foot the worst logo? Im convinced half of you didn't get that the D was a webbed Ducks foot.

[@Pavsy73]

I knew it was a ducks foot and still thought it was a terrible look. Might have been better with a different colour scheme though.

[@robertbuckley9429]

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

[@jetswhiteout961]

Is scouting the same as last year? Looks like a ton of micromanaging which is a pain.

[@zachgoddard6445]

Manifesting a Stanley Cup in this series with the classic: QUACK QUACK QUACK

[@bouziB]

It looks exactly the same as 24 franchise mode now but with chats

[@slashy768]

This looks sick! Looks hard to sign guys tho

[@arttu3760]

Do you know if there is already custom rosters including prospects and future draft class?

[@PoisonXLZ]

Yes there are community rosters in the game

[@ГригорийКожемякин-щ3э]

ain’t no way Gudas goes to the Isles and shaves his beard 😂

[@shaedonshergill3162]

[@evanjoos9482]

could u pls do an in depth roster review like youve done for previous years im really exicted to see all the leafs ratings

[@totally_george]

OMG THANK YOU IVE BEEN WAITING MY WHOLE LIFE FOR THIS

[@SportsGamerGG]

Great job!

[@pinogatto3540]

so stupid question, how long does it take for a draft pick to achieve the potential?

[@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.

[@king_giggz]

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

[@lanedaschko]

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

How are u playing before the 27th

[@johnclaudevondon5333]

HELLLL YEAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@brandonwebb7680]

hey @TacTixHD do the defensive prospects actually develop in this game? I know they tweaked development but I wanted to know before I make the purchase.

[@TacTixHD]

Have simmed deep enough to know but they should!

[@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

[@hazardbros2841]

excited for pens series

[@johnclaudevondon5333]

Ahhh yes, McDavid getting 98 points in 82 games. And having the option to immediately claim your player back on wavers after trading him for higher draft picks. EA IS SOOOOO BACK, BABY!!!!!!!

[@jamessapia3364]

When should I sign a rookie I drafted…do I base it on their overall rating coming out of the draft, age, or something else?

[@TacTixHD]

Unless theyre NHL ready of could help AHL team I wait as long as possible as makes your team more flexible

[@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)

[@gablebrandon]

Would be great if you could upload in 4K so it matches the true video game experience. otherwise, great content.

[@mizzourah]

Please let the devs know we need generated player faces instead of the blank silhouettes

[@canfishdrink]

The Red Wings, Bruins, and Blackhawks all have the same rating?

[@Michaelholt32]

I knew you had nhl 25 before everybody months in advance

[@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!

[@Saielek]

31:15 EA randomizes the potentials. So he definitely might’ve been Med Elite in the Roster but his Potential changed for this franchise mode
